Retreat in Progress
Our tent is open except when shut.
In private spaces with the door shut and sealed lives a place where work gets done. A constructed world of controlled conditions, full of purpose and intent, sustaining creation and focus.
For the 2014 project Pavillion 27 adapted a camera interior into a habitable space of retreat: a room for publishing and reading. Emerging from this and woven through were thoughts on tents, literary time, books and how to bind and read them. This process lead to the construction of a tent and the publication of material.
The orange covers of the tent enclosed a Diazo printer; designed for use in the field of architecture, it uses large-format ultraviolet sensitive paper to produce 1:1 scale prints, a process similar to that of 19th century analogue photography. The orange fabric cloak created a darkened space where light sensitive paper could be safely handled. Exposed paper was feed into an ammonia bath to reveal the image, what emerged was not fixed and remained fugitive.
Opening a book is shutting a door. Engrossed in its pages we let our minds navigate the narrative. So too is the process prevalent during its creation, both are crawl space of value. And when the process is complete, when the door is opened, a change in sympathies is revealed.
Thanks to guest collaborators, Bless, and Nuno da Luz

We lift something - an object, a memory, ourselves.
We feel the weight, feel what it does to us, feel our movements change under its influence.
Weight is a force: right now, there is a force between us and you.
Forces always act reciprocally. An even lift.
The interplay of observing and being a body in gravitational terms is the heavy burden we need get off our chests. On different orbits of contemplation, viewers will be asked to ponder the heavy weight of history, the aching light-heartedness of a contemporary mediascape, the impact of quantum physics on quintessential physiology.
Under the impact of the Omicron-Variant and in accordance with the efforts in social choreography to fight the pandemic, what was to premiere as a live performance is transformed into a video work over the runtime of the exhibition. Itself an essential part of the exhibition, the constant change of set-up will be reflected by the accumulation of raw footage that is put on display. The Akademie Galerie turns into a gravitational center, the nexus of a galaxy, an amassment of matter, that gathers, what belongs or wants to be together.
What is weight, if not attraction in the first place?
Pavilion 27 invites to a sneak preview with a live set on our opening day, to look behind the curtains during the runtime and finally to the initial screening of „Even Lift“.
The Gallery is accessible under 2G+ rules only.
Opening: Wed 19.01., 7-9 pm
Runtime: 20.01.-05.02. , Wed-Sun, 2-7 pm
Finissage : cancelled due to CoVid-restrictions, find our gestures from Sun, 06.02., 6pm under https://www.instagram.com/pavillon27/
