VENICE.- Tobias Rehberger was awarded the Golden Lion as best artist at the 53rd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. Tobias Rehberger received the price for the cafeteria, for which he collaborated closely with Artek using customized Artek furniture in an ingenious way . The cafeteria created by Rehberger is a complex scheme of geometric forms with contrasting colors, a visually disorienting environment that draws from a specific example from the past: razzle dazzle or dazzle painting – a decorative style used on ships during the First World War. The iconic Alvar Aalto pieces were reborn and reinterpreted by Tobias Rehberger in a highly impressive way. The dialogue between art and architecture does not allow any compromises in the space. Rehberger bridges the gap between the world of aesthetics and that of practical issues in everyday life in a fresh, contemporary way.
