Abstract (English)" Project spaces are miniature galleries that provide a literal and hypothetical space for u and various collaborators (a wide ranging network of artists, writers, and curators) to analyze the questions, intentions, and interpretations at the core of art and exhibition-making. After a collaborator receives one, the making of a project space develops through conversation. It begins with the most obvious question: What should go into the project space? Almost immediately a million other questions come to the fore: “How do we get something into the project-space? How much can the project-space hold? If this is just a frame, does the frame have to be this size? Do we even need a frame? If we didn’t have a frame, where would the work be located? Come to think of it, even if we keep this frame, where will the work be located? Who will see this work? And so it goes… Talking back and forth, project-space conversations develop organically and vary widely in their outcomes. By gathering, highlighting and elevating the often unseen elements of an exhibition, u encounters and reflects its own prompt and provocation of the empty project space; what should go inside? Where will the work be located? Who is it for and what conversation do we want to have with them? " -- Editor's website
