Screen Air Pavilion
“The Screen Air Pavilion” is a temporary architecture of social nature commissioned by Paz Ponce (founder and artistic director of insurgencias.net) to architects Tomás García de la Huerta & Xaviera Gleixner from GA Estudio (Chile), in collaboration with designer Erik Vögler and architect Maxie Schneider from Popticum Collective (Berlin). It was born from the need of hosting a public arts program produced by Agora Collective, an arts organization who had recently lost its project space in Berlin; in the context of struggle to secure spaces in the city for the production and presentation of experimental art. Driven by the collaborative desire to ‘open spaces of possibility’, the architects responded to these precarious circumstances creating a pavilion sustained by air, presenting architecture as a tool of resistance, sensitive to social issues and serving the minorities.
Through its structural qualities like mobility and extreme lightness, this soft architecture aimed to break the hegemony towards an open-source and instantaneous urbanism, with an added symbolic value: “a living building is proposed, interactive, fragile in its appearance and strong in its capacity”.
Between September 12th - 14th 2019, in the open courtyard of Ufer_studios in Berlin-Wedding, the Screen Air Pavilion embraced the activities of “Ecologies of Protest” - a public program to share artist-led research projects from Latin American artists in Berlin dealing with environmental activism. The project was supported by the Berlin Senate Deparment for Culture and Europe under the funding program “Fellowship Weltoffenes Berlin”.
The pavilion was assembled during a two day participatory workshop, “Subversive architectures”, facilitated by GA Estudio & POPTICUM, expanding into a shared pedagogical space with invited artists: Andressa Cantergiani (BR), Paula Elion (IL), Manuela García Aldana (CO), Melanie Rivera (PR), Roberta Vaz (BR) and Gabriel Vallecillo (HO).
