Natural stone is an eternal material
Now in its 59th edition, Marmomac returns to Verona from September 23 to 26 to showcase the role of stone in contemporary design.
Sejima, co-founder with Ryue Nishizawa of the architectural practice SANAA, is one of seven master artists who is being paired with an emerging talent for the 2012-2013 cycle of the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative. The other mentors are Margaret Atwood (literature), Lin Hwai-min (dance), Walter Murch (film), Gilberto Gil (music), Patrice Chéreau (theatre) and William Kentridge (visual arts).
Chosen by an international panel of experts, the three architecture finalists will be interviewed by Sejima, who will select one of them as her protégé for a year of creative collaboration. The protégé will be announced in November.
The finalists are:
