LAB will take up residency at Surface Gallery Project Space, transforming the top floor into a temporary cultural laboratory. Hosting a series of inter-disciplinary collaborative workshops each weekend and ongoing open projects during the week in which LAB, invited artists and the public will work collectively.
LAB is a creative and open space for experimentation, exchange and critical play; a collective, a project and community laboratory for art and ideas that aims to explore methods of process based creative research and cross discipline collaboration. The laboratory welcomes the idea of the prototype or the beta version, acting as a fertile research and development environment for side projects, experiments, follies, mistakes and failures.
Collaborations will take the form of a mixture of laboratory, residency, public event and open space. Through this laboratory framework, the collective aims to uncover the underlying complexities of collaborative and collective processes.
A living archive of objects, diagrams, texts and ideas will emerge in the lab and online, mapping the complexities of collaborative and collective processes. LAB aims to explore the ecology of ideas and the intersect between disciplines of knowledge.
