The Paravilion

Across a week-long residency, the artist group Antivoid Alliance collaboratively constructed an audiovisual and sculptural installation which houses a temporary pavilion within the walls of Fabrica gallery. This space-within-a-space acts 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) facilitates impromptu and speculative modes of sociality through improvised audience performances; public actions which emerge through and beyond the culture of Karaoke to become something else, something more.
