Sheltered Housing is a new format of retreat customized for the Days of Corona.

Artists, researchers, art enthusiasts and curious audiences will gather in this retreat in order to share a communal virtual space - each from her/his own home, performing a series of shared actions which define and construct the group of individuals as a collective.

In Sheltered Housing, Pathos Mathos seeks to create a human chorus, meeting in the broadest sense, where we practice, work and perform our daily lives. Within each room, the participants function as a community, the actions of which coalesce into a work of art through the accumulating tapestry of audio-visual diversity.  

Imagine a castle in a remote European village, containing multitudes of rooms. In this castle, large groups of people will periodically convene, performing different actions in their respective rooms. Just that in our case, this is happening via the web. 

​

Sheltered Housing is spread across a number of living spaces (Living Room, Kitchen, Studio, Bathroom, Bedroom/Closet) In each room, the viewing participants will be invited to perform with us a series of actions (score), guided by the room manager. The instructions will guide the participants in a visual, textual and audible manner through the contents of each action in the room and the time frame in which to complete it.
