Since its inception, the Pavilion has become an established home for Serpentine’s Live Programmes. This year the Pavilion will also host a specially commissioned sound programme Listening to the City that features work by artists including Ain Bailey and Jay Bernard, connecting visitors to the stories and sounds of selected London neighbourhoods.

Once Interpol took the case things began to pop. They were wanted in various cities in at least six countries simultaneously. Descriptions and pictures, witnesses began to appear. In this looping film work, artist and poet Rena Anakwe responds to ideas of weather, energy and interconnection within Tomás Saraceno’s exhibition, Web(s) of Life.Several times while reading “Serpentine”, my jaw hit the floor. Other times, I had to put the book down in disgust.

The past year has drawn these themes sharply into focus and has allowed me the space to reflect on the incredible generosity of the communities that have been integral to this Pavilion. This has given rise to several initiatives that extend the duration, scale and reach of the Pavilion beyond its physical lifespan. In a time of isolation, these initiatives have deepened the Pavilion’s intents toward sustained collaboration, and I am excited to continue this engagement with the Serpentine’s civic and education teams and our partners over the summer and beyond.” The 20 th Serpentine Pavilion is designed by Johannesburg-based practice Counterspace, directed by Sumayya Vally.
