This year, Dublin-based artist Isabel Nolan has transformed the pavilion into a space of respite, both physical and intellectual – a secular chapel titled Dreamshook. Nolan works across sculpture, textile, painting, drawing and text, and Dreamshook is accordingly rich in colour and pictorial detail, including bent metal sculptures, tapestries and drawings. “To use that kind of language to largely secular ends feels satisfying.” Nolan tells me that Manuzio is credited with inventing italics, blank margins, the semicolon and the precursor to the paperback. For Nolan, Manuzio is an emblem of thoughtfulness and scholarship in a turbulent era: Europe had been ravaged by famine and the Black Death, the papacy was in crisis and life was violent and unsettled.
