HYPOTHETICAL
The research project in which HS is embedded posits that co-design, supervision, and continuous evaluative recalibration of contemporary art institutional infrastructures (CAII) are fundamental activities of curatorial praxis. Concomitant with the development of theories of computational intelligence, this project examines how and where the flow of energy and information is designed within CAII, research-driven design studio methodologies, and artistic practices. The aim of this research is to develop multidirectional scaffolding upon which new, agile, and agency-aware infrastructures are designed and institutional constructs are implemented.
SUMMER
Hypothetical Summer (HS) was the initial phase of a multi-format, practice-based research project >>
HS focused on exhibition design strategies. These strategies considered administrative operations, policy and protocol, communication, conventional anticipation, and inter-institutional semantics as latent spaces and therefore sites of intervention. (An architectonics of prétexte, thresholds, parameters, functions, protocols, and events).
A report of HS and those involved will be publicly available in the Fall of 2026. A detailed overview of HS is available upon request.
