ELSEWHERE

mission

Elsewhere is a non-profit organization exploring creative collaboration. Through its living museum, innovative residency program, educational initiatives, and projects and events led by our etc. collective, Elsewhere connects people and things.

collaborative

Elsewhere explores “collaborative” as a creative model wherein individuals pursue particular visions by building from a shared collection of materials upon, within, and amongst others’ works. By using the collection and arrangement of objects as the common basis for creation, creators respond to creative practice through their interactions and intersections. Collaboration occurs with others through reciprocity towards things, environments, histories, and as a positioning towards configurations that accept new responses, conditions, and scenarios. Elsewhere’s museum explores and exhibits the conjunctions of permanence and transformation, intention and accident, the everyday and the exceptional.

performance, process, practice

Elsewhere is an ongoing, unfolding story of life as an art form. We explore the slippages of ourselves as characters in our own lives as an ongoing performance to us and others. We remain open to being visible, being read, considered, interpreted, imbued with meanings we didn’t intend. We see ideas through enactment. We are all collaborating on curating this process and we follow tributaries, trajectories, caverns, methods, and experiments that express our wonder and agency in an ongoing unfolding of this story of preservation and genesis.
