Socialmaterialbank Project (Ongoing since 2010.)

The aim of this project is to encourage and make it possible for the public to participate in this post neo-liberal capitalist world by sharing their thoughts, ideas and possibilities thus sharing in the design of the future.

Socialmaterialbank.org is an art archive that stores and disseminates social information/material that is collected from the public through art events in art spaces and pop up galleries. I believe that through art we can make the world a better and more tolerable place by giving people access too and allowing them participate in our future. 

The initial question asked is – What is your concept, idea and or dream of house/home? The second question is on democracy and we will continue to explore relevant questions.

The events are held in art spaces, pop up galleries and venues that allow access to arts new publics and during the event we make art, in the case of the house/home event we create representations of local living spaces.
