Description:
SMART Project Space was founded in 1994 as a site for cultural production. The primary objective is to support artists and cultivate new relationships between the artist/artwork and the audience and at the same time provide a context defining the parameters of cultural production. Housed in a former Pathological Anatomical Laboratory, SMART Project Space is the flexible framework embedded in the laboratory conception of artistic production and collaborative research. SPS allows for a wide range of approaches and draws together some of the most interesting young artists today.
