The List Visual Arts Center at MIT is a creative laboratory that offers artists space to experiment and push aesthetic boundaries through exhibitions, commissions, and special programs. One of these programs is the List Projects series, through which emerging and underrepresented artists present new work three times a year in the compact Bakalar Gallery. Each project is accompanied by public discussions that link the exhibition’s content to relevant academic scholarship.

…my work as a premature memorial to myself, others, and perhaps our world.
Now that’s an ending.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
