Pavilion is a commissioning organisation that deals with contemporary art and the problem of the image. Pavilion presents its work as a resource, as a route for audiences to further develop a critical position within the world. We draw on a breadth of practices, media and political/ philosophical thought.

Pavilion collaborates with artists, curators and thinkers to research, realise and programme. The commissioning process is a unique, distinctive and dialogical one. It operates as a rolling series of multi-textured explorations. Each new commission is dealt with on its own terms as are a set of contiguous exhibitions, events, acts of publishing and interaction.

We aim to identify, open up, nurture and illuminate resonant critical practices in meaningful and stimulating ways, places and times. The work that we produce feeds back into our process and the evolution of the programme and organisation. Audience engagement is integral to the process and is folded into it. We draw on the particular local context as well as working with external and international influences and discourses.
