The Catalan Pavilion at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) was Catalonia's first participation with its own pavilion. The project, The Unavowable Community (La Comunitat Inconfessable), curated by Valentín Roma, took its title from the book by Maurice Blanchot and was shown at the Magazzini del Sale in Dorsoduro. It brought together three practices working with archives and community: Technologies to the People (Daniel G. Andújar), Archivo F.X. (Pedro G. Romero) and the collective Sitesize. Hiuwai Chu worked on the pavilion as coordinator.
