Through the outdoor activities, the children explored the forest at various levels of scale and perception, looking at the growth patterns of lichens, investigating chemical pollution molecules through augmented reality, and discovering sounds from reverberations of ancient and living timber, among other things. Combined with film installations, worktables and play structures, the architectural elements in the pavilion support the research and learning environment of the exhibition, which shows how the children that participated learned about ancient forests, primordial swamp landscapes and long processes of geological formations. It is made out of timber from trees on the Curonian Spit that have, over several years, been collected in an archive at Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts as part of the project Neringa Forest Architecture. Located directly opposite the entrance to the Arsenale, the pavilion’s installation is both an architectural object and a conceptual structure, meandering through a Venetian patio house, and allowing different formats of discussion, interaction and play. Guided by environmental educators, activists, artists, architects, and foresters, they were introduced to think of forests as negotiated spaces where no single actor has a central stake. This project brings together works and findings developed in parallel to outdoor activities held with children in woodlands in Lithuania and Finland. Like this?

Tickets are now on sale – stay informed of all updates to the tour by joining the Flux Pavilion: Freeway Tour group. This winter he’ll be going on a twelve date tour (dates above), ably supported by another earthquake inducing exponent of the bass rumble, Datsik. He's also been one third of the Circus Records imprint, pushing music from the likes of Funtcase, Cookie Monsta and more, making him one of the leading lights in a genre built on relentless aural excess. His beats were utilised by hip-hop royalty when Jay-Z and Kanye West centred his undeniable rumble around their ‘Who Gon Stop me’ track from the 2011 album Watch the Throne, whilst the soundtracks to Both The Great Gatsby and video game SSX have been bolstered by his sounds. Whether it’s the eardrum rupturing ‘Bass Cannon’, the swaggering skank of his Doctor P collaboration ‘Superbad’ (above) or the stadium sized synths of ‘I can’t stop’, Flux Pavilion represents the kind of full force electronic music that harks to the legend of the genres such as Pendulum, The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. The 24 year old known to his mum as Joshua Steele has been a driving force on the more relentless side of dubstep since literally exploding onto the scene in 2008, since going onto become one of the most dynamic aggressors of brutally blistering speaker sonics. If you like a bit of bass in your face, there’s every chance you’ve had it melted by the sounds of Flux Pavilion.
