REGULATION FREE ROOM
In ZERO Box Lodge, when you are creative, you sleep for free.
The Free Room is a replica from one of the ZERO sleeping boxes. You will find it at the entrance of our Box Lodge. You can see through it.
It’s an art box experience that creates a dynamic from the inside out and from the outside in.
It will be the living installation of the entire ZERO Box Lodge’s project.
Anything goes.
But there are rules.
OBJECTIVES
1.1. The Free Room will be an installation, live or not, but permanent, at the entrance of ZERO Box Lodge, in Porto. It is a copy of the sleeping boxes but it is transparent, in glass, with the purpose to be a see through box, in order to work as a bubble of artistic experience. It has a bathroom that is not transparent. It will be occupied throughout the year and will allow the participation of all those who present artistic, cultural, innovative proposals of the most diverse and surprising formats and areas that will conform to the objectives and rules of The Free Room.
1.2. The Free Room aims to promote the cultural agitator element that so much characterises the ZERO Box Lodge project.
