PAV Living Room - Open Call

PAV living room is a hybrid research project combining various formats to explore the potential of a territory in transition by collectively imagining the stories of the future based on its current qualities (PAV-Geneva). Through performances, installations and discussions by various artists and architects, the public is invited to experience the area's transitional state. As the events unfold, the public's view of the urban space multiplies, and is reflected in an evolving exhibition. Through this reconstruction, the installation questions the tools of urban design and representation. The exhibition reveals the issues raised during the programme, which are then developed in an annual participatory magazine.

OPEN CALL - deadline 17.06

PAV living room is back for a second edition this autumn, with a call for projects on the theme of ‘midnight spaces’ for its series of events. The call for projects is open to all and encourages interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation. Proposals will take the form of weekly events that will punctuate the programme scheduled to run from 30 August to 29 November 2024.

"...midnight spaces are characterised by their latent potential. Whether under construction or on hold, they embody moments of uncertainty and indeterminacy, devoid of finite form or function. At the dawn of change, they are a temporal interstice, a phenomenon, an event, a moment held between continuity and rupture. They are in-between spaces, ambiguous, with open meanings, inviting everyone to interpret them, engage with them sensorially and invest them subjectively. Between past and future, they form a rift for the emergence of the unexpected, an opportunity for novelty, whose multiple meanings remain to be explored."
