FormLAB ©

FormLAB has exhibited at the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture (2012), Seoul Foundation for Arts & Culture (2012), Treignac Projet, France (2010), and Chashama (2009) it will exhibit in Mongolia in 2014. Conceived in 1997 FormLAB is a New York-based "Museum-within-a-museum" structure that explores contemporary creative practices, global sites of process and defining itself in the locations it appropriates. Through collaborative events it examines the locus and site of arts individuation across different cultures. Since 2009 Form Laboratory has expanded to different sites (Singapore, New York, Limousin, France, Tokyo, Brazilian Museum of Sculpture, Sao Paulo) and future sites being prepared for museums in Vienna, Taipei, London, Northern Japan and Beijing. Form Laboratory enables the spectator to view art-making as an event not only to view artifacts as finished objects within the actual space, but also from within the black box of the artist’s mind where an artifact’s conceptualization and genesis can be observed as a process. This is a novel approach to creation of performance within a museum space that radicalizes the public space. NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship for the Project since 2009 FormLAB is a fiscally sponsored project with New York Foundation for the Arts Fiscal Sponsorship Program and its projects in has previously drawn support from the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture, The Brazilian Ministry of Culture and the City of Sao Paulo; Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. http://www.formlaboratory.com/index-intro.html Form Laboratory at Brazilian Museum of Sculpture, Sao Paulo, Brazil (2012) http://mube.art.br/expos/les-joynes-form-laboratory/
