Reimagining the gallery space of the future
As the world is transformed by pandemics and revolutions, as physical spaces, access, and connection is lost, we reimagine the gallery spaces of the future. A space created by artists, technologists, and communities together – a space to collaboratively experiment, learn, play, engage, and create.
CETI will convene groups of artists, technologists, theorists, and community members to create prototypes of future galleries.

Our Challenge
As the world is transformed by pandemics and revolutions, as physical spaces, access, and connection is lost, CETI will convene groups of artists, technologists, theorists, and communities to create prototypes of accessible, inclusive virtual future gallery spaces. Through the architecture, exhibitions, the interactions and conversations and interactions we critically engage with the world and with our communities, sparking a dialogue and reckoning with an inequitable past, catalyzing needed change.
We imagine an evolving space, changing in response to community needs and technology/media innovations—a space to collaboratively experiment, engage, and create.
The exhibitions/conversations/creations that activate these spaces will focus on reimagining – destroying, repurposing, and rebuilding systems, objects, places, and structures, to envision a future that is equitable, community-focussed, and inspiring.

GALLERY PROTOTYPE I: SUMMER/FALL 2020
Theme
Our first gallery iteration is an “abandoned mall”, created through an experimental collaborative virtual creative jam. From August 6, 2020 to September 1, 2020, we held a series of sprints and design-build sessions to brainstorm, experiment, prototype and create the first Gallery of the Future.
The Gallery will open to the public and for exhibitions on October 23nd, 2020. Check back here for details and an invitation to our Launch Reception and the Opening for our first Exhibition.
