Er Pavilion
====== Er Pavilion, J Shed, Fremantle, 3-19 November
vittinoAshe, Brendan Moore, Melissa Cameron, Syrinx ======
Under the shadow of the roundhouse and adjacent to the swelling wardan (ocean) sits the 2023 Fremantle architectural pavilion commission – a unique design collaboration between architects vittinoAshe, Whadjuk Noongar traditional owner Brendan Moore, jeweller Melissa Cameron, and Syrinx, a sustainability and green infrastructure company.
Surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of saltwater and carved cliffs, the Er Pavilion rests lightly on the lawn J Shed – a gathering space for story, music, conversations, and performance for the three weeks of the Biennale.
The Er Pavilion forms a new together-space, crafted from remnant timbers salvaged from the Fremantle Ports A Shed, anchored by limestone, and covered by a shimmering and woven ceiling – adorned with thread collected from Bathers Beach.
Atop the structure, a desalination system will siphon the surrounding salt water, with ngarngk (mother/sun) separating water and salt, so guests of the pavilion – plants, people, and the Walyalup keniny (winds) – can be replenished.
