At 75 metres long and 2.4 metres high, it occupies the entire area opposite LE STANZE DEL VETRO. The title of the piece, Qwalala, is a Native American Pomo word and references the meandering flow of the Gualala river in Northern California, which the work echoes in both its structure and layout.<\/p>\n<p>Approximately half of the bricks are made of clear glass whereas the other 1,500 bricks span a palette of 26 colours, in a technique where each brick contains a \u201cstorm\u201d-like effect of swirling colour. From afar these bricks form an abstract, painterly pattern, which reveal a world of detail upon closer inspection. The layout and colour combinations were chosen by the artist from thousands of random, computer generated alternatives using software developed specifically for the project. Seemingly simple in its form, the wall explores the limits of glass as a building material and bears witness to Pae White\u2019s interest in combining common materials with cutting-edge technology, traditional craftsmanship with advanced engineering, and employing industrial manufacturing to challenge the limits of each of these. The result can be understood as both a sculpture that is evocative of architecture and architecture that is evocative of sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>The project will be accompanied by a book published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther Koenig.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59953,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"cini_tax_event_categories":[1487],"cini_tax_institutes":[],"cini_tax_event_locations":[1464],"class_list":["post-58257","cini_events","type-cini_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cini_tax_event_categories-exhibitions","cini_tax_event_locations-island-of-san-giorgio-maggiore"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Qwalala by Pae White - Fondazione Giorgio Cini<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cini.it\/en\/eventi\/qwalala-by-pae-white\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Qwalala by Pae White - Fondazione Giorgio Cini\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Pae White, \u201cQwalala\u201d, LE STANZE DEL VETRO, Venezia 2017, Ph.
