16th Venice Architecture Biennale
"The Chairs in Love"

Beatriz Gerenstein participated in "Time Space Existence", an official collateral exhibition of the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale. 

For this occasion, Gerenstein presented "The Chairs in Love", a site-specific installation that blurs the boundaries between sculpture and functional design.

Conceived as both artwork and furniture, the piece consists of two sculptural chairs that subtly evoke human figures in dialogue. One embodies a feminine presence—graceful, delicate, and vibrant—while the other conveys strength, stability, and solidity. Together, they form a harmonious composition that celebrates connection, complementarity, and human relationships.

Crafted from a refined selection of exotic woods and entirely designed and produced in Italy by the artist, the work reflects Gerenstein's ongoing exploration of human interaction through organic forms.

Every detail was carefully considered, from the ergonomic functionality of the chairs to the flowing contours that gently incline toward one another, suggesting intimacy, affection, and a quiet embrace.

Installed on the second floor of the historic Palazzo Mora, a 16th-century Venetian palace, the sculpture engaged in a compelling dialogue with its architectural setting. The elegance and history of the Renaissance interiors provided a powerful contrast to the contemporary work, reinforcing its themes of connection, coexistence, and the enduring human need for companionship.
