The Pavilion is dedicated to matters of care, repair, and maintenance, it is realised entirely with leftover material from last year’s Biennale, with on-site workshops and one-on-one interventions aiming to collect, catalogue, and process the used material from the Biennale Arte 2022. In addition to the question of resources, Open for Maintenance deals with questions of social and spatial inclusion in Venice.
