My proposal for the Rome Prize is to explore the design of constraints as a curatorial method to create new platforms for the making and experiencing of contemporary art. By replacing the formalized constraints of art institutions with an invented set of rules in alternative spaces, I will investigate how designing limitations can create ephemeral yet potent experiences with art. There are five phases: (1) the mapping and identification of environments that possess amplified spatial and temporal qualities; (2) establishing a set of parameters and/or constraints; (3) collaboration with artists; (4) activation and installation of work in spaces; and (5) documentation of the temporary work and installations in publication format.
