Concept. Anupama Kundoo 'Feel the Ground' Venice Biennale 2012
'Feel the Ground. Wall House: One to One' was an invited installation, as part of 'Common Ground' curated by David Chipperfield for the 13th international architecture exhibition of 'la Biennale di Venezia'. Anupama Kundoo's Wall House in Auroville was constructed in full scale, making the point that architecture is a collaborative act, and that we are more common than we are different across the globe, regardless of our diversity. The curators wrote: "Kundoo, has built an ambitious, 1:1 facsimili of the Wall House, a building she designed in Auroville in India in 2000. The common ground is in its making. A team of Indian craftsmen, some of whom had never left their home country, were brought to Venice to construct the project in collaboration with staff and students from the University of Queensland, and students from IUAV in Venice, creating skills exchange across 3 continents. The final piece embodies the dialogue between construct on cultures, and also is a showcase for Kundoo's architecture, a lyrical modernism at easy with the demands of its climate."
