About

The exhibition at Salle Principale looks back over 50 years of anarchitectural activity, which began in 1967 in Florence. At a time when it has become clear that the planet must be preserved more than transformed, it is striking that the five decades of Gianni Pettena’s career have been inhabited by a fundamental understanding of our vulnerability with respect to the natural elements. Pettena’s work recalls Jacques Ellul’s cherished assertion that non-power authorises reappropriating our actions and taking control over our lives. Such a stance certainly does not exclude combat, since Pettena is always stepping into the fray, driven by a spirit of rebellion, benevolent humanism, and a genuine zest for life.
