Serpentine Gallery Pavilions: Annual Architectural Commissions and Public Programmes
The 2010 Pavilion by Jean Nouvel was a contrast of lightweight materials and dramatic cantilevered structures. The entire design was rendered in a vivid red that, in a play of opposites, contrasted with the green of its park setting. The building consisted of bold geometric forms, large retractable awnings and a sloped freestanding wall that stood 12 metres above the lawn. Striking glass, polycarbonate and fabric structures created a versatile system of interior and exterior spaces, encouraging socialising, relaxation and play.

- Serpentine Gallery Map Marathon, 16 - 17 October 2010: The Serpentine Gallery presented the fifth event in its acclaimed Marathon series. The multi-dimensional Map Marathon featured non-stop live presentations by over 50 artists, poets, writers, philosophers, scholars, musicians, architects, designers and scientists. The Serpentine Gallery Map Marathon brought together an unprecedented group from diverse fields to showcase possible maps for the coming decade. The Map Marathon explored all forms of mapping, of data, space and time, multiple dimensions, language and the body. The event uncovered the influence and possibilities of mapping in our world today. The Internet has brought maps of every kind into our daily lives. Maps have become easier to create, change, develop collaboratively and share. Depicting geographical areas, mindscapes and digital realms alike, these multidimensional maps express endlessly interconnected ideas and issues. Many of the maps presented in the Map Marathon and the discussions they provoked will be included in a forthcoming book published by Thames & Hudson. Participations included performances and presentations from: Marina Abramović, David Adjaye, Etel Adnan, John Akomfrah, Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri, Julieta Aranda, Kader Attia, Nanni Balestrini and Morgan Bennett Balestrini, Peter Barber, Artur Barrio, Rosi Braidotti, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, John Brockman with Lewis Wolpert and Armand Leroi, Adam Chodzko, Mariana Castillo Deball and Amalia Pica, Céline Condorelli, Mike Cooper, Michael Craig-Martin, CRASH! — Scott King and Matthew Worley, Marcus du Sautoy, Simon Fujiwara, Gilbert & George, Goldin+Senneby with Dr. Angus Cameron, Joost Grootens, Pancho Guedes, Richard Hamilton and Eyal Weizman, Mona Hatoum, Susan Hiller, Russell Hoban with Eleanor Bron, Claire Hooper, Marine Hugonnier, Amar Kanwar, Anish Kapoor, Janice Kerbel with Colin Stinton, Aaron Koblin, Tania Kovats, Suzanne Lacy with Heidi Hoefinger, Jürg Lehni and Alex Rich, Klara Lidén, Mateo López, Matt Mullican, Luigi Ontani, Claude Parent and Nathanael Dorent, Katie Paterson, Adriano Pedrosa, Julia Peyton-Jones, C.E.B Reas, Marwan Rechmaoui, Pedro Reyes, Tim Robinson, Eric Rodenbeck, Jacques Roubaud, David Rowan and Hal Bertram, Anri Sala, Dimitar Sasselov, Annemarie Sauzeau, Mathew Sawyer, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, Timothy Taylor/Krysztina Tautendorfer with Tom Frankland, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Oraib Toukan, Adrián Villar Rojas, Ai Weiwei, Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa, Cerith Wyn Evans.
