Artists, their work, research and time are the reason PAV exists.
Support the work. Join the community.
Your contribution helps us sustain the platform while supporting new artistic creation.
An audience can also sustain what it encounters. Joining PAV means more than following a platform.
It means entering a cultural ecology in which attention can become participation.
You encounter an artwork. You give it time. You might share it. You might support it.
That support helps another artist make another work.
PAV is a platform to explore performance art on video founded on the principles of solidarity and inclusion. We trust in change.
PAV operates as a cultural community:to host, foster and disseminate performance art videos that raise awareness and respond to contemporary emergencies;to generate sustainable revenues for the featured artists through users’ subscriptions, donations and video visualisation on demand.
PAV aims to consolidate a space for community building by performance making, strengthening dialogues between the artists and their supporters to target the crucial urgencies of our contemporaneity.
PAV is managed by a fluid team of artists, curators and professionals operating in the field of technology and innovation.
