This pavilion draws on the concepts of #care, #repair and #maintenance. By occupying the German pavilion through a series of maintenance works, processes of spatial and social care otherwise hidden from the public gaze are made visible.
The pavilion has been working intensively through a large network of social groups, from students to activists, both Venetian and German, combining environmental and economic sustainability with the social dimension.
In Venice, in fact, all daily activities and social networks dedicated to care and not profit are being progressively removed from the city. Civil society organizations-as well as Open for maintenance-have as their fundamental purpose the reappropriation and defense of public spaces and the reversal of this trend.
Together, starting last November, we have been collecting materials from over 40 pavilions and exhibits at the 2022 Art Biennale that would otherwise have ended up in landfills. During ##the Biennale, the materials will be used for urban maintenance work in our city. The pavilion, from a monument of national representation, is thus transformed into a productive infrastructure.
Thank you to @germanpavilionvenice@archplusnet@buerojulianegreb@fsk.gdk@petter_krag@beatricekoch@_annahu_ for giving us the opportunity to collaborate and work on a project that, in line with our mission, aims on the one hand to combat waste and on the other hand to bring positive intervention to the city, not only from an economic point of view but also and especially from a social point of view.
