Pigeons exist all over the world yet they are often overlooked. Like artists and writers, they are beautiful, iridescent, quirky, and resourceful. Some birds find more fame than others, but we see the pigeons in all their glory. Of course, pigeons might not be as majestic or smart as their feathered friends, and they fly headfirst into a window. But how else can we find the barriers in our own world except by running into them headfirst, over and over again, waiting for them to break? Pigeon Review was started by an artist and a writer looking to make a home for artists and their art. From a cluttered room or a cup of coffee to an inquisitive face, we like art that tells a story.

Florìda is a cultural space located in the old Jewish Ghetto in Genoa’s historic center. It is an experimental project that aims to promote social and urban development through the tools of art, co-creation, and international artistic mobility. The goal is to enhance new lifestyles and enjoyment of the territory by counteracting the tendency of its inhabitants to abandon the historic center, with a particular focus on young people. The association hosts artists in residence, organizes exhibitions, and facilitates artistic collaborations to strengthen the local social and creative network, believing that artistic practice is an opportunity for contamination and enrichment for all parties involved. Since 2023, Florìda has hosted ten artists in residence, realized three international exhibitions, three artistic residencies for Academy students, and five ‘Small Talks’, a free and open dinner formula animated by a dialogue on artistic practices and contemporary cities. The association has also collaborated with several organizations and cultural institutions operating in the historic center of Genoa.

Snake House VT is dedicated to supporting underrepresented artists through exhibitions, performances, screenings, and other events and projects. We promote the exchange of ideas through unique programming, embracing work that presents challenging and provocative contemporary content that is outside of, or directly eschews, the predominant commercial system. Recognizing that many existing systems of power, including arts organizations, grant privilege and access unequally, we seek to engage with artists and their work without regard to, and with respect of, their race, class, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression, geography, citizenship status, religion and mental or physical ability. We love discourse that disposes of patriarchal and antiquated hegemonies, and the radical notion that art can be a space for equity and difficulty, quiet success and epic failure. We also love a good sense of humor. Our projects include Single Channel VT which explores the moving image and time based media through Artist Curated Screenings and an Annual Video Festival. Artist Curated Screenings highlight the history, practitioners, and genres of the moving image and time based media. Each event showcases the work of an artist who also presents the work of another artist they are inspired by, or in conversation with. […]

artspring berlin

The origins of artspring berlin The history of artspring berlin begins in 2017. Inspired by the desire to establish a district-wide weekend of open studios in Pankow, artspring berlin was brought into being. The main goal was to improve the visibility of artistic production and to locate work spaces for the interested audience. In a constantly growing district like Pankow, the studios and their artists are constantly threatened by gentrification and displacement. History & History The artspring berlin festival Since 2019, artspring berlin has been organizing an art festival in which more than 400 artists and cultural workers take part every year. For a whole month, both well-known and unexpected places in Pankow become a stage for a diverse cultural program. As a highlight, many artists open their doors to the public during the open studio days. Digital expansion In parallel to the physical festival, artspring berlin also has a growing digital presence. Live streams, discussion rounds and specially produced video contributions expand the reach of the festival far beyond Berlin and thus create new access for an international audience. Our commitment to art and culture In addition to the exhibition and event program in municipal and private galleries, artspring […]

Palmas is an artist-run space that reflects and acts over contemporary practices in the field of visual arts. Understood as a space for artistic experimentation with a special focus on emerging artists, the idiosyncrasy of the project is reflected by the pink colour of the walls, which serves simultaneously as an initial challenge to the artists as well as a homogeneous identity that helps to present a singular exhibition programme in the national and international context. Established in 2017 in Lisbon (Portugal), at a time when there was a lack of independent spaces in the city’s art scene, the project had immediately an impressive local and national acceptance. By playing an active role in engaging with the local artistic community, a vibrant, heterogeneous and assiduous audience emerged, which helped to characterise the space as a special and important place in the city’s cultural landscape. As of 2024, Las Palmas main objective is to establish itself as a dynamic cultural space in the city of Berlin. By promoting an exhibition programme that reflects the identity of the project and also that encourages dialogue and collaborations between artists, curators and other local cultural institutions. Maintaining the focus on emerging artists, while also […]

Wondercabinet/V4L Arts

Artistic Curiosities * Unexpected Wonders Wondercabinet is the project of interdisciplinary relational artists, Anne Weshinskey and Árni Gudmundsson (V4L Arts Collective). We specialize in the instigation and exhibition of artistic curiosities, and creating spaces where unexpected wonders can occur. We pave a pathway to enjoying contemporary art through activities that engage everyone—from locals to those passing by on their way to somewhere else. Anne and Arni began working together 15 years ago while living and working in separate countries (Turkey and Sweden), and in 2016 moved to West Virginia where the type of conceptual and relational (community collaborative) work we do was completely unheard of in this rural area. In order to rectify this situation, we took over the fire truck bay of an old volunteer fire company and turned it into an exhibition and production space and roadside attraction called Wayside Wondercabinet. Located within the Between the Hills Community Center in Loudoun County, VA, Wayside Wondercabinet has since become a locus of cultural projects created for, and in collaboration with, the local community. Besides exhibiting artistic work and serving as a venue for various cultural projects, “The Wayside” is home to a permanent collection of curiosities and artworks by local […]

Seenesthesia Art Gallery

The roots of this gallery stem from a passion to fill the voids left behind by closed doors. As an artist and a nomad traveler, I’ve witnessed the struggles faced by creative souls yearning for opportunities. We believe in democratizing art, transcending limitations, and nurturing dreams. Your triumphs are our rewards, and we’re here to walk this path with you. As a wandering nomad, I understand the importance of expanding digital opportunities that transcend geographical boundaries. Who said an artist must be confined within four walls with canvases and paints? Travel and the richness of other cultures – that’s what fuels me and many other creators. Our gallery is newly established, so we don’t have a large number of participants and followers on social media just yet. However, we are confident that this will change soon! In order to attract new artists who may not be familiar with our gallery, we are spreading the word about our first open call on all available platforms. At Seenesthesia, we curate monthly online juried art exhibitions that are not just shows but transformative experiences. Winners of our open-calls will receive cash prizes, unique articles about them on the website, possibility to sell their […]

MATCA artspace is an artist-run space managed by three local artists (Alexandru Muraru, Matei Toșa and Alexandra Mocan) that emerged in Cluj-Napoca at the beginning of 2017. Since then it has been following a mindset of shaping its know-how along with its collaborations, most of them being presented in the form of group shows. Underlying the necessity of being in touch with the conscious form of artistic practice and research, the space is coagulating its purposes by drawing a thin border between aesthetics and content, usually choosing to bring out raw forms of expression. The space is meant as a tool for research into local (or nearby) contemporary art, in order to establish connections with minds that have something relevant to say about the world. Wishing to step more off the walls, MATCA prioritizes alternative forms of expression which mix mediums outside the canvas/frame, not as a form of denying traditional practices, but as a form of getting out of the comfort zone and being open to experimentation and various ways of shaping meaning. Set up to be a welcoming environment, MATCA`s aim is to fuse what could be meant under the terms of emergent and established into parallel, non-hierarchical […]

It was born out of the need for dialogue among artists and art professionals about contemporary art, exhibition practices, the adventure of the idea, the relationship of the work with the viewer and the personal obsessions that run through and characterize the work of art. For the time being, its exhibition program is a result of a year long process of round table discussions among 28 artists and theorists of different disciplines, all looking to understand what potentiality is and how to grasp it.

ARTIST FOUND COMPANY Founded by artist Soon(aka Niña), our puzzles have a focus on original art by the artists of today. As an independent artist, Soon has been struggling to find a way to keep creating full-time, as there were barriers like money, exposure, and finding the right community for support. In her journey of searching ways to keep create, SOONNESS was born. Throughout the first year of the business in 2021, Soon created 6 artworks that would be made into puzzles and learned about manufacturing, marketing, and all things business. With lots of love from the puzzle community, we are able to collaborate with artists starting 2022 and build premium quality puzzles. We have one goal: Let the artists create, and make the world a colorful one. As Soon knows how important it is for talented artists to be exposed, she wanted to create a platform to introduce artists through an affordable art. Puzzles not only give us time to play & destress, but also a great medium for everyone to enjoy art by up & coming artists of this time.

Pigeons exist all over the world yet they are often overlooked. Like artists and writers, they are beautiful, iridescent, quirky, and resourceful. Some birds find more fame than others, but we see the pigeons in all their glory. Of course, pigeons might not be as majestic or smart as their feathered friends, and they fly headfirst into a window. But how else can we find the barriers in our own world except by running into them headfirst, over and over again, waiting for them to break? Pigeon Review was started by an artist and a writer looking to make a home for artists and their art. From a cluttered room or a cup of coffee to an inquisitive face, we like art that tells a story.

Palmas is an artist-run space that reflects and acts over contemporary practices in the field of visual arts. Understood as a space for artistic experimentation with a special focus on emerging artists, the idiosyncrasy of the project is reflected by the pink colour of the walls, which serves simultaneously as an initial challenge to the artists as well as a homogeneous identity that helps to present a singular exhibition programme in the national and international context. Established in 2017 in Lisbon (Portugal), at a time when there was a lack of independent spaces in the city’s art scene, the project had immediately an impressive local and national acceptance. By playing an active role in engaging with the local artistic community, a vibrant, heterogeneous and assiduous audience emerged, which helped to characterise the space as a special and important place in the city’s cultural landscape. As of 2024, Las Palmas main objective is to establish itself as a dynamic cultural space in the city of Berlin. By promoting an exhibition programme that reflects the identity of the project and also that encourages dialogue and collaborations between artists, curators and other local cultural institutions. Maintaining the focus on emerging artists, while also […]

U N k Sustains biological digestive creativity. Is the sole survivor of ambition in the sea of negativity. Loses itself in the minds of the imaginative. Lives by reviving the souls purpose. Yearns for collective cultural critique. Gunk is free, Gunk is unrestricted. Our aim is to create dialectics between the collective and community through organising events, fairs, happenings and screenings. Our community is built from our excitement to foster expression and new ways of thinking. We invite artists of all disciplines to share in inclusive creative experiences that also provide powerful motivational energy, to create, to be yourself and to be reborn. “Gunk serves as the connected culturally conscious critical communicative cooperative co opt.” – Gunk member Gunk’s first creative collaboration was initiated in a repurposed derelict space, that was condemned to be destroyed. We worked alongside our sponsor Snailfish Independent Bookstore, local artists and active community members in transforming the space. The public exhibition titled ’57 Art Fair’ hosted: Snailfish’s curated selection of Books, as well as works from artists spanning Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture and Photographic prints. This exhibition set the foundation for Gunk as an active Artist Alliance.

Isgisgisgisgisgisgisgisgisg.com is an international artist-run, browser-based space started in 2019. It consists of a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel size browser window – a fluid, multifaceted construct that extends from the continuum of the screen to IRL. Isgisgisgisgisgisgisgisgisg.com explores the relational extension of the browser, where visual, sonic, and textual experiences are mediated through screens. Alongside this, it engages in a critical process of exchange within the framework of networked society. It steers its trajectory towards the confluence of internet culture, archival practices, and audiovisual materials, aiming to foster a critical platform for expanded practices. Despite primarily existing online, it also takes on a nomadic form, materialising in physical exhibition spaces.

Wondercabinet/V4L Arts

Artistic Curiosities * Unexpected Wonders Wondercabinet is the project of interdisciplinary relational artists, Anne Weshinskey and Árni Gudmundsson (V4L Arts Collective). We specialize in the instigation and exhibition of artistic curiosities, and creating spaces where unexpected wonders can occur. We pave a pathway to enjoying contemporary art through activities that engage everyone—from locals to those passing by on their way to somewhere else. Anne and Arni began working together 15 years ago while living and working in separate countries (Turkey and Sweden), and in 2016 moved to West Virginia where the type of conceptual and relational (community collaborative) work we do was completely unheard of in this rural area. In order to rectify this situation, we took over the fire truck bay of an old volunteer fire company and turned it into an exhibition and production space and roadside attraction called Wayside Wondercabinet. Located within the Between the Hills Community Center in Loudoun County, VA, Wayside Wondercabinet has since become a locus of cultural projects created for, and in collaboration with, the local community. Besides exhibiting artistic work and serving as a venue for various cultural projects, “The Wayside” is home to a permanent collection of curiosities and artworks by local […]

Seenesthesia Art Gallery

The roots of this gallery stem from a passion to fill the voids left behind by closed doors. As an artist and a nomad traveler, I’ve witnessed the struggles faced by creative souls yearning for opportunities. We believe in democratizing art, transcending limitations, and nurturing dreams. Your triumphs are our rewards, and we’re here to walk this path with you. As a wandering nomad, I understand the importance of expanding digital opportunities that transcend geographical boundaries. Who said an artist must be confined within four walls with canvases and paints? Travel and the richness of other cultures – that’s what fuels me and many other creators. Our gallery is newly established, so we don’t have a large number of participants and followers on social media just yet. However, we are confident that this will change soon! In order to attract new artists who may not be familiar with our gallery, we are spreading the word about our first open call on all available platforms. At Seenesthesia, we curate monthly online juried art exhibitions that are not just shows but transformative experiences. Winners of our open-calls will receive cash prizes, unique articles about them on the website, possibility to sell their […]

MATCA artspace is an artist-run space managed by three local artists (Alexandru Muraru, Matei Toșa and Alexandra Mocan) that emerged in Cluj-Napoca at the beginning of 2017. Since then it has been following a mindset of shaping its know-how along with its collaborations, most of them being presented in the form of group shows. Underlying the necessity of being in touch with the conscious form of artistic practice and research, the space is coagulating its purposes by drawing a thin border between aesthetics and content, usually choosing to bring out raw forms of expression. The space is meant as a tool for research into local (or nearby) contemporary art, in order to establish connections with minds that have something relevant to say about the world. Wishing to step more off the walls, MATCA prioritizes alternative forms of expression which mix mediums outside the canvas/frame, not as a form of denying traditional practices, but as a form of getting out of the comfort zone and being open to experimentation and various ways of shaping meaning. Set up to be a welcoming environment, MATCA`s aim is to fuse what could be meant under the terms of emergent and established into parallel, non-hierarchical […]

Potential Project

Potential Project is an independent artist-run initiative in Athens. It was born out of the need for dialogue among artists and art professionals about contemporary art, exhibition practices, the adventure of the idea, the relationship of the work with the viewer and the personal obsessions that run through and characterize the work of art. For the time being, its exhibition program is a result of a year long process of round table discussions among 28 artists and theorists of different disciplines, all looking to understand what potentiality is and how to grasp it.

sluice is an artist/curator-run initiative for similar. Sluice was founded in 2011 by art historian Ben Street and artist Karl England. Our focus is transnationally local, i.e we’re focused on the local – globally. Sluice is concerned with applied theory, both in regards of the impact of the societal and economic environment on the arts but also how the arts can in turn impact our societal and economic environment. Sluice has staged art fairs and biennials in London and expos in New York and Berlin. Sluice strategically adopts structures in order to showcase artist, curator and emergent discourse, projects and galleries. Sluice magazine grew out of these initiatives and is now independently published by Sluice Art twice a year.

ARTIST FOUND COMPANY Founded by artist Soon(aka Niña), our puzzles have a focus on original art by the artists of today. As an independent artist, Soon has been struggling to find a way to keep creating full-time, as there were barriers like money, exposure, and finding the right community for support. In her journey of searching ways to keep create, SOONNESS was born. Throughout the first year of the business in 2021, Soon created 6 artworks that would be made into puzzles and learned about manufacturing, marketing, and all things business. With lots of love from the puzzle community, we are able to collaborate with artists starting 2022 and build premium quality puzzles. We have one goal: Let the artists create, and make the world a colorful one. As Soon knows how important it is for talented artists to be exposed, she wanted to create a platform to introduce artists through an affordable art. Puzzles not only give us time to play & destress, but also a great medium for everyone to enjoy art by up & coming artists of this time. Artists get a cut of every sale, so we can support artists while you enjoy your peaceful time. Our puzzles […]
