Scotland + Venice 2010 for the 12th International Architecture Exhibition
1 November, Ludoteca Santa Maria Ausiliatrice
To Have and to Hold
The premier of Murray Grigor’s Space and Light Revisited was presented as a split screen film of St Peter’s Seminary – the original film shot in 1972 as working seminary and a recreated shot-for-shot in 2009 as a ruin. NVA’s To Have and to Hold round table discussion enabled a high level of international engagement and marked a step change in developing a strong and distinctive Scottish presence and the many potential benefits through an engagement-based approach rather than pre-prepared exhibitions.
Santa Maria Ausiliatrice
One of the most poignant films you will ever see showing the gradual destruction of a great building over time.
