Ortega y Gasset Projects (OyG) is a non-profit artist-run curatorial collective and exhibition space in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Founded in May 2013 in Bushwick, Brooklyn,  OyG moved to Gowanus in February 2015. Ortega y Gasset is a non-profit organization run by a group of directors based in New York and other regions throughout the US. All directors are working artists and in addition to writing, curating, installing and doing administrative work to run OyG, their directorship enables them to connect with the community that OyG fosters to support their practices as painters, photographers, sculptors and writers. OyG is entirely run by working artists, and so recognizes that exploration is key to the sustainment of artistic vitality. Thus, we embark on an exploratory model where artists take the role of curator, critic and promoter. Working without specific intentions of commercial profit or an explicit curatorial ideology, the goal of OyG is to mount exhibitions that provoke interpretation and dialogue and bolster artistic community. In doing so, we participate within a wider forum to disseminate aesthetic experience in new ways and expand our roles, priorities and scope of influence within art culture. Half of the current co-directors of OyG live outside of New […]

Exhibition space in Basel. Run by Caroline von Gunten and Simon Lieberherr. Mission Das FAQ  ist ein Kunstraum, eine Galerie und ein Ort für Projekte. Frequently Asked Questions sind der kuratorische Leitfaden des FAQ. Die gezeigten Positionen werden sich alle oft gestellten Fragen stellen. Damit soll die Möglichkeit für Künstlerinnen und Künstler geschaffen werden, sich mit zeitgenössischen Fragestellungen auseinander zu setzen. Die Mischung der Sprachen im Namen des Ausstellungsraumes deutet darauf hin, dass sich dieser Ausstellungsraum zur Gänze in der Gegenwart befindet. Er ist dem Druck und den Einflüssen globaler Sprachen, neuer Medien und sich verschiebender Kulturen nicht nur ausgesetzt, er probiert laufend zu Adaptieren und zu Lernen. Vernetzung, Öffentlichkeit und niedrigschwelliger Zugang bilden den Rahmen für alle Aktivitäten im FAQ. Das Jetzt und dessen unmittelbarer Transport in das globale Bewusstsein des Cyberspace bilden einen zentralen Ansatz der Vermittlungsstrategie des FAQ.

  AADK Spain is an artist-run platform that develops spaces for research and contemporary creation. With a focus set on experimental processes, its primary interest is to explore the notions of body, territory, and spatiality. The platform advocates the decentralization of culture and access to contemporary art in non-urban areas. It addresses local issues as means to understand global problems. Currently based in Centro Negra (Blanca, Murcia) it holds several programs among which its Artist Residency and Cruce Programs stand out. As a team, we believe that all artists we host are an active part of our platform. Therefore, we foster networks with other cultural and artistic enterprises, helping to promote their mobility on national and international circuits.

The Syndicate of Creatures manifest We are KRÆ. We are creatures. We are a syndicate of creatures who believe that the world needs radical rethinking While the capitalistic autocannibliism devours our nature, feasts on all living creatures and living growths; while we humans becomes a bottomless gap of insatiable needs, in a splintered world, where reflection hurts as the world is spinning in the wrong direction; we turn into disturbing creatures – we become KRÆ – creatures identifying with critters and growths, emerging as beings of the earth.We gather around exhibitions, events, rituals and conversations. We work with events that revolves around inter-connectedness, either to nature, the world, the past, the future, and not least to each other. We want to create an experimental non profit environment for rethinking, we start by dealing with the grotesque, the absurd, the rejected, the elements of nature, the robots and death. We use art and poetic collaboration as a gateway to disturb our fossilized mindsets and awaken numb senses. In the beginning our base was an old stable in the omeat packing district in Copenhagen. This government-protected stable has essentially been preserved since the Industrial Revolution took place in Copenhagen when butchering and […]

  HilbertRaum is an independent, non-commercial, artist-run project space. It opened in January 2015 in the middle of Reuterkiez in Berlin-Neukölln. Behind HilbertRaum is a group of 17 Berlin-based artists, who take turns curating and organizing two-week exhibitions throughout the entire year. Projects incorporate a broad range of painting, photography, sculpture, video, installation and performance. HilbertRaum is named after the infinitely dimensioned Hilbert space, a concept developed by the mathematician David Hilbert. To us, it represents an open, undetermined and evolving structure of self-organization with the expectation of the unexpected. HilbertRaum ist ein unabhängiger, nichtkommerzieller, von Künstlern betriebener Projektraum. Er eröffnete im Januar 2015 inmitten des Reuterkiezes in Berlin-Neukölln.

Gezeigt wird ein breites Spektrum an Malerei, Fotografie, Skulptur, Video, Installation und Performance. HilbertRaum ist nach dem unendlich dimensionierten Hilbertraum benannt, einem Konzept des Mathematikers David Hilbert. Er repräsentiert für uns eine offene, nicht festgelegte und sich weiter entwickelnde Struktur der Selbst-Organisation, die das Unerwartete erwarten lässt.

The Luminary is a nonprofit independent space founded in St. Louis, MO in 2007 as a forum for artistic research, production and presentation, conceived in response to both our immediate and international community, alongside our audiences, and in dialogue with artists. The Luminary is a constellation of ideas and activities: a physical site that opens onto a larger cultural and conceptual space; exhibitions that move through multiple timelines, spaces and forms; residencies with artists, curators and critics meant to test boundaries and continually push forward their individual and collective practice; and wide-ranging projects that critically engage emerging ideas and stretch the definition of the institution itself. The basis of the organization is experimentation and engagement. Emerging art and ideas are at the forefront of this experimentation, but only as they interact with people: art as an individual and communal experience; call and response; exchange and change; form and reform. We propose, support and present exceptional art embedded in social and cultural contexts, viewing contemporary art as an essential expression of our time. Beyond promoting various modes of artistic exploration, The Luminary investigates its own infrastructure as an artist-run organization in order to advance the understanding of our potentialities within broader […]
