CRONOCAOS exhibition at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale Di Venezia Image courtesy OMA, photographed by Marco Beck Peccoz In their 2010 Venice Biennale installation, Rem Koolhaas’ OMA addressed the growing concern for preservation and its consequences for how and what we remember. “Through our respect for the past, heritage is becoming more and more the dominant metaphor for our lives today – a situation we call cronocaos
. We are trying to find what the future of our memory will look like”. Ippolito Pestellini and James Westcott of OMA discuss the provocations and implications of preservation, exploring how “our obsession with heritage is creating an artificial re-engineered version of our memory…”
Respondents include Simon Thurley, Chief Executive of English Heritage, and the artists, Jane and Louise Wilson. Chaired by Christopher Woodward, Director of the Garden Museum.
