LIVING ROOM FESTIVAL
2010·2017
CURATORIAL PROJECT
Living Room Festival was imagined by a group of artists wanting to create their own speed of events with the resources at their disposal: their own living rooms and those of their friends. Living Room Festival invited an audience to cozy living rooms for several days of coming together to watch performances and movies, listen to readings and concerts, play games, talk about the works that were presented or about any subject that came on the table. The intimacy of the context enveloped everyone in a sense of community, so that the usual role of the spectator simply vanished. Every year this group of people grew by proximity, by occupying others’s living rooms, by expanding the invitation to other artists with the intention of becoming more, many. Living Room Festival was designed to trigger our curiosity, sharing experiments, and considering the artistic works as devices to unfold relations and dialogues, displacing them to our living rooms to see how this new frame will transform them and give space to new meanings.
