between inspiration and collecting: the artist's cabinet

We are pleased to announce an open call for artists who maintain collections of any kind to participate in an upcoming exhibition that explores the intimate relationship between artistic practice and collecting.

About the Exhibition ‘Between Inspiration and Collecting: The Artist's Cabinet’

While the history of art collecting is dominated by accounts of wealthy patrons and institutions, this exhibition aims to shift focus to artists themselves as collectors, examining how their personal collections inform and interact with their creative practice. We seek to challenge traditional exhibition formats by creating an environment that mirrors the organic, personal space of an artist's studio rather than a conventional white cube gallery setting.

Exhibition Format

Selected works will be displayed alongside items from the artists' collections in an arrangement that emphasizes personal narrative over traditional museum taxonomy. Rather than separate labels for each item, the exhibition will feature artist-written narratives that explore the relationship between their creative practice and collecting habits. Viewers will be invited to discover the connections between artists' works and their collections, creating an engaging interpretative experience.

Exhibition Dates: January 9-February 28, 2025
