1. Your project in two lines:

Rent a commercial showcase and animate it with artistic projects of Lausanne residents.

2. The objective of your project (explain its why and how it will benefit one or more neighborhood(s))

This project aims to give a platform for creative Lausanne people to express their sensitivity. By providing them with a showcase in a public square and a financial participation, we offer them an opportunity to experiment and expose themselves. At the same time we want to enchant the city with the facilities that will inhabit the showcase and offer a little poetry to passers-by. We imagine this showcase as a dreamlike pause and a moment of wonder among the commercial showcases that dot the city. This diversion of commercial showcases that will involve in its approach the use of sustainable materials, also aims to draw attention to our use of resources and our exposure and sensitivity to the world around us.

3. Your project in detail

• The project consists of 2 points: the annual rental of a showcase in the city and a creative call for projects with Lausanne. Depending on the interest of the projects, we will select between 4 and 6 showcases that will be made by their creators. The rotation of the windows will be done every 2 or 3 months. These projects will have to include 2 key points that are: bring dreaming and use sustainable resources. It is important that the approach includes this last notion which can result in materials for example recycled, upcycled or re-used. The revelation of each new showcase could be made by the creator directly to the Lausanne public in an informal inauguration. This will be an opportunity for the artist to express the intention of his project and to stimulate an exchange with the inhabitants of the neighborhood and beyond.
