manifest-o

Newfoundland Pavilion (founded October, 2009) is a collective of artists working in video, installation, painting, performance, photography and text-based works. Together the collective’s members seek to create an array of new, site-specific installations, environments and interventions. Some of the key ideas that shape the collective’s projects are:

• An intent to avoid the insular aspects of ‘regionalism’; i.e. to create and show tailored projects in sites and to audiences beyond Newfoundland
• A playful questioning and interaction with accepted, established hierarchies in the art world, including art galleries, international art festivals, art publications and the web.
• To integrate diverse voices into a single network of meaning, each orbiting the others. This network is assigned to sites where international artists and audiences gather.
• Beyond the three founding members, the collective will engage other collaborators in projects, as warranted.
