About the organization
FOUND OBJECT art space is a decentralized, itinerant platform for contemporary art that operates without a fixed physical location. Founded on the principle that context is as vital as content, it curates exhibitions, screenings, and publications in temporary sites—from vacant storefronts to digital realms—inviting artists to respond to the specific conditions of each venue. The space is dedicated to process over polish, prioritizing works that are still in formation and conversations that remain open-ended. Its core mission is to foster a community of practitioners who value experimentation, dialogue, and the poetics of the unfinished. By eschewing the traditional gallery model, FOUND OBJECT positions itself as a nimble, responsive entity that adapts to the urgencies of the moment, often highlighting underrepresented voices and interdisciplinary approaches.
Programs & opportunities
2 listedTaking part
Artists should approach FOUND OBJECT with a clear articulation of their process and a willingness to engage with site-specific constraints. The platform favors proposals that demonstrate an awareness of context, whether spatial, social, or digital. While there is no formal application cycle, opportunities are announced via the website and mailing list; artists are encouraged to subscribe and respond to open calls with concise, thoughtful submissions that foreground the work's developmental stage. Unsolicited proposals are accepted but should be tailored to the platform's itinerant nature and commitment to dialogue.
