A museum needs not be an intimidating and elitist institution. The Community Museum Project believes that a museum can be a means to represent everyday living and values. Through the collection and interpretation of artifacts and visual evidence, indigenous creativity, visual culture and public culture can be explored.
The Community Museum Project focuses not on establishing conventional “musum” hardware but carrying out flexible exhibition and public programs, often within specific community settings.
Through this process the Community Museum Project aims to nurture a platform to articulate personal experiences and under-represented histories. It can also be an occasion to facilitate the participation of the public and cross-disciplinary collaboration. To us, the word “Community”has three connotations: subject matter, settings and creative public interface.
Community Museum Project was founded in 2002 in Hong Kong by Howard Chan (art curator), Siu King-chung (design educator), Tse Pak-chai and Phoebe Wong (cultural researchers).
BBBP is an artist-run project located in the bedroom of the artist Blanka Amezkua in Mott Haven, South Bronx. Her intention is to create an intimate art space where contemporary artists can exhibit their work in a setting that differs radically from the already established art venues. Artists have the opportunity to participate in BBBP for the duration of one month. Blanka asks that the participating artists commit to offering a workshop in the local community, or by preparing a dinner to be shared with other artists and individuals interested in the arts, during their show.
BBBP encourages the participating artists to use this exchange as an asset for their continued artistic growth. Artist eligibility is based on the quality of the work and the individual’s commitment to the local community.

We are a London-based group of current or ex interns, mainly from the creative and cultural sectors, who regularly meets to think together around the conditions of free labour in contemporary societies.
We are currently undertaking a participatory action research around voluntary work, internship, job placements and compulsory free work in order to understand thier impact they have on material conditions of existence, life expectations and sense of self, together with their implications in relation to education, life long training, exploitation, and class interest.
In September of 2003 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, English-speaking U.S. artists Deidre Hoguet and Peter Walsh created a series of street actions that focused on the relationship between languages and power. The project featured 13 separate performances, with each artist interacting directly with hundreds of people, a gallery exhibition at P74, artist lectures and two public discussions (one at the 16 Beaver Group in Manhattan and a second in Ljubljana). The English word “tongue” and the Slovenian word “jezik” can both – with slightly different connotations – mean either language or the actual tongue in your mouth.
With the collective help of the citizens of Ljubljana, Peter Walsh attempted the impossible: learning to speak and write Slovene in just three weeks (photo gallery).
Lower East Side Printshop, founded in 1968, is a not-for-profit studio in New York City that helps contemporary artists create new artwork and advance their careers.
Through the Printshop’s workspace residency programs, artists receive space and time to work, stipends, technical assistance, career development, and public exposure.
With its exhibitions, open studios, education, and other public programs, the Printshop serves as a junction for artists, collectors, museums, galleries, and educational institutions to access and engage in contemporary art.
The purpose of GRIDSPACE is to provide an architecturally and sculpturally specific curatorial outlet that engages the rapidly changing neighborhood of northern Crown Heights. The non-traditional storefront gallery is in the front window of Charles Goldman’s studio — POWELL. The “space” itself is a wooden grid of 12 individually lit 2 foot square by 8 inch deep “cubicles,” custom built to fit into the specially designed storefront.
The inaugural exhibition is a yearlong exhibition, involving 12 solo and 1 group show (which will include works by different combinations of the initial 12 artists.) The year will begin with the group exhibition. There will be a “real time” website and an informal catalogue to mark the completion of the first cycle. Unscheduled programming will continue in the space throughout the year. The solo exhibitions will be as long or as short as deemed necessary by each participant.
