Unrealised project proposal

No-Art Pavilion

Year
2025–2026
Role
Co-curator with Carmen Lorenzetti, Cesare Pietroiusti and Giancarlo Norese
Context
Proposal for Mayrit Biennial 2026

The No-Art Pavilion is a space constituted through suspension of art. It is not an exhibition, not an installation, not a programme. It is a space of potential held open by what is withheld. We configure conditions for community relationships rather than curating content.

It is a functioning environment that asks: If art stops, what kind of space remains and how do we live in it?

The No-Art Pavilion operates as a counter-model to efficiency, spectacle and instrumentalisation. Through minimal gesture, inaction and subtraction, it withdraws, delays, resists coherence and remains incomplete and open.

The proposal creates an inhabitable framework in which art has been suspended entirely—not deferred, symbolised or transformed into narrative. It does not exhibit, represent, critique or produce. The non-art condition is literal: architectural, temporal and relational.
