The Paravilion
Fabrica: Making Space Residency
07–2024A temporary pavilion was built within the walls of Fabrica gallery during the first day of the residency. This space-within-a-space acted as a kind of parallel site, or ‘parasite’. Creatively inspired by the culture, aesthetics, and technical lay-out of the Karaoke room—its special ability to focus moments of consumer desire and fantastic irony—this parasitic pavilion (or paravilion) intended to facilitate impromptu modes of togetherness and improvised audience performances; public actions which emerge through and beyond the culture of Karaoke to become something else.A public open night included live performance and a work in process presentation; an invitation to participate, and a discussion with a small audience.
