more about aerial

not quite a gallery.
not quite a studio.

A contemporary identity for a place where the social life around art matters as much as the finished object: conversation, care, hospitality, collective work and the time spent together.

shared space

a room that changes with people.

aerial can host collaborative, community-oriented and socially engaged projects. Rather than behaving like a fixed white-cube gallery, the space can shift around the people, conversations and activities taking place inside it.

host

Treat hospitality, welcome, food and conversation as part of the artistic practice.

03

share
