Bureau for Open Culture at Columbus College of Art & Design is an exhibition-making philosophy that transcends traditional notions of exhibition display. It is an initiative that not only uses the gallery as a site for presenting art, but expands the exhibition model to include off-site projects, workshops, screenings, informal talks, publications, and short-term residencies. The programming embraces experimental and open approaches to supporting artistic and curatorial trajectories that respond to our multidisciplinary contemporary culture. Taking a position somewhere between a gallery and an alternative space, the Bureau for Open Culture challenges the exhibition system while respecting the historical sources for those investigations.
Visit Bureau for Open Culture at the Canzani Center Gallery (60 Cleveland Ave @ East Gay) on the campus of the Columbus College of Design Tuesday through Friday from 11-6 and on Saturdays from 12-5.
