Making Use: Life in Postartistic Times includes an evolving exhibition, workspace, and a public program. The main themes explored during the project are the interweaving of art and other spheres of life; art is 'migrating' from museums and galleries into urban survival strategies, street protests, subversive advertising, campaigns to abolish bank debt, utopian experiments, critical cartography, agricultural cooperatives, alternative tourism, and the curricula of 'free' universities.
For the duration of the project, the museum will function as an information hub on practices with a high coefficient of art, shifting the center of gravity from the work of art to reports from other fields of life. The exhibition will develop over time, reaching its ultimate form on the closing date, May 1, 2016. The first floor of the Emilia building will be devoted to 'other' exhibitionary functions: a workshop, an open office, an auditorium, a kitchen, and a relaxation zone.

During the final week of the Making Use exhibition, artist Neil Cummings will lead an all-day interactive workshop designed to produce models of the art museum 3.0. During the workshop, through the use of simple tools, the participants will inhabit 2061 as a shared and contested place, imagining the possible futures of art, the museum, and the cultures in which they are situated. The group will be required to work out how to get there.
In preparation, it is kindly requested that all potential participants spend a few minutes thinking about:
In 2061, the art museum will be .………..
