our stand in front of the greek pavilion was put up in record breaking time:



thanks again to Maria Papadimitriou (middle) who made this possible



the plants designated to go to the giardino fantastico got marked

the staff of the greek pavilion has been kind enough to give us the opportunity of presenting our work and the re-biennale at their space in the giardini



people involved in the biennale, especialy curators and organizers have the possibility to get in contact with the re-biennale team and think with them about future uses for the materials used in the exhibitions



transcript:

ReBiennale is a project born in 2008 out of an experiment to recover the discarded materials from the Art and Architecture Biennales, with the aim of giving them a new life and to promote the processes of sustainability. Now ReBiennale has become an international network of different people, including activists, collectives, students, architects, artists, writers and technicians.

This year one of the activities is the reopening of the former centro sociale Morion as a social and cultural location for the neighbourhood and as a space for international artists.

To improve its social qualities the Austrian collective ika contributes with various interventions. One of them is to set up giardino fantastico in Morion, a garden with plants given by the neighbourhood, which will be enriched by "green gifts" from the opening of the Greek pavilion.
