Uruguay has been invited to be one of the Latin American countries participating in the 2012 Venice Biennale. Located in a former warehouse of the Biennale, which has belonged to the Uruguayan State since 1960, the Uruguayan pavilion will present their curatorial proposal, Panavision – an exhibition that will feature six diverse and emergent Uruguayan practices that will not exhibit their work, but rather their practices as a way to spark a discussion on contemporary Uruguayan architectural agenda.
The practices representing the young generation of architects for the 2012 Uruguayan pavilion are the following:
- G+, formed by the Architects Marcelo Gualano and Martin Gualano;
- 11:54 p.m, under the charge of Horacio Flora and Alejandro Baptista Acerenza;
- Bednarik + Mirabal, formed by Marcelo Bednarik and Federico Mirabal;
- MBAD, led by Mario Báez and Adrián Duran;
- Fábrica de Paisajes, where Diego Pérez, Fabio Ayerra, Marcos Castaings, Martín Cobas and Javier Lanza collaborate;
- MAAM, formed by the architects Matías Carballal, Andrés Gobba and Mauricio López.
