THE VISUAL ARTS PLATFORM (PAV)


The insertion the visual arts platform_PAV an associated structure within Sibiu’s International Theatre Festival (FITS), continues to function as a space without a space, a semi-nomad entity, a body without organs (Artaud 1947; Deleuze & Guattari 1972, 1980), an occasion and an invitation to become active and come together. It brings together interventions from invited artists, as well as giving the opportunity to some of Sibiu’s permanent art installations and spaces to reappear back into the public sphere, structures which exist and infuse into the city all year-round. PAV brings together local and non-local voices, be they artists, cultural producers, museum and artist-run spaces, all the way to non-conventional spaces pertaining to the consumerist culture, creating infiltrations into the capitalist machine (Deleuze & Guattari, ibid.; Negri, 1989; Hardt & Negri, 2000).

2022 Edition


the visual arts platform (PAV) initiative has found a fertile locus at the intersection of two international events: Kassel’s documenta15 contemporary art exhibition and the Sibiu International Theatre Festival (FITS). Taking place in Sibiu, a city that pendulates between a conservatory approach and a reintegration / redefinition of multiculturalism, the visual arts platform aims to illustrate specifically this complex dynamic, which has inherent echoes in the local contemporary art scene. PAV brings together artists and associative entities working locally, as well as creative voices from the rest of Romania and from Germany - the plurality of different points of view is after all the core concept of this first edition.

The meeting point of these three vectors is the artist Dan Perjovschi, who divides his time between Sibiu and various locations around the world. A participant of this year's edition of the documentary15 as well as FITS, Dan Perjovschi works with curator Iris Ordean and together they bring different voices to this first edition of PAV.

platforma de arte vizuale PAV is produced by Dan Perjovschi & Documenta15, FITS and the German Cultural Center Sibiu. Many thanks to all institutions and artists involved.
