As a live contribution to [Home at Arsenale] – Pavilion of Slovenia, Emmanuel Rubio will present and comment the postcard set E&G Phone Home – 28 days in China. 28 days face to face with spaceships, alien vessels, blobs and other interstellar structures … Exploring not so much extra-terrestrial architecture as the new extra-territoriality of its condition.

Emmanuel Rubio teaches French Literature in the University of Paris Ouest Nanterre. Specialized in surrealism and the other avant-gardes of the twentieth century, he wrote and edited several volumes on these topics. Interested by fictions in architecture and the architectural treatment of historical mutations or tragedies, he published Vers une architecture cathartique [Towards a cathartic architecture] in 2011, which was nominated by the “Academie d’Architecture” in Paris, and, in 2015, a largely commented edition of John Soane, Histoire de ma maison [Crude Hints towards an History of my House]. He’s now finishing a book about Blobs! Pour une lecture culturelle de l’architecture contemporaine [Bubbles and blobs – a cultural reading of contemporary architecture].
