Fluent~Collaborative is a speculative non-profit initiative established to increase awareness of developments in contemporary visual art and the ideas and issues that inform culture today. Currently, Fluent~Collaborative has two projects: testsite, an experimental exhibition space, and ...might be good, a contemporary art e-journal.
testsite, a project of Fluent~Collaborative, situates itself between an exhibition space, an open studio, a temporary residency program and a private home. Participants, usually a writer and a visual artist drawn from far afield or close to home, are invited to create parallel experimental projects though a shared conversation. testsite presents these projects as they are germinating, or at a stage of fruitful exploration and healthy doubt integrated within the corners, shelves and wall and spaces of an intimate space.
testsite is open to the public on Sundays from 2-5 pm and by appointment.
...might be good is an Austin-based contemporary art e-journal that reaches over 8,000 international readers each month. Understanding Austin as one micro-center within a larger network of art communities worldwide, …might be good provides a platform for thoughtful dialogue about artistic production and ideas. Every two weeks, the publication generates reviews, interviews and other features in response to noteworthy happenings near and far.
