A project space for philosophy and art on the ground level (parterre) of a landmark workers tenement housing in the center of Tel Aviv. Parterre is a curated space for creating and exchanging knowledge and experiences with an emphasis on humane and environmental activities. Not the usual gallery, not the usual academy, Parterre is dedicated to innovative practices and the art of living. Among the projects we wish to develop we list reading and discussing texts in small seminar style settings, creating researched artworks and exhibitions, publishing interesting crossovers from art to philosophy and back, and developing a new book format--rich in digital content but anchored in clear narrative or conceptual framework.
