Mission Statement
FICTILIS, a fiscally sponsored project of the nonprofit Fractured Atlas, is an artist-run collaborative whose mission is to create and share work that is aesthetically, conceptually, socially, and technologically engaging.
Description
FICTILIS produces public, curated exhibitions and participatory projects, and run an artist-in-residence program. Our work is research-based and transdisciplinary, sharing ongoing interests in language, ecology and waste, monuments and public memory, and political economy. We have initiated many independent curatorial and multimedia projects as well as partnerships with museums, galleries, publishers, foundations, cities and municipalities, and academic institutions, in collaboration with artists, designers, architects, educators, historians, and practitioners in diverse fields. The word "FICTILIS" is Latin for "capable of being shaped or changed; earthen". This definition refers both to the form of our practice and to the role it is intended to play within our broader culture.
Our residency program, DEURENDIS, is located in the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York. We support curated residencies, collaborative gatherings, and projects grounded in land stewardship, offering space for alternative and experimental practices that may struggle to find space elsewhere
