With a focus on small-scale object-based works, The Museum of Longing and Failure (MOLAF) takes shape through ongoing invitations to artists and collectives of different backgrounds and generations, whose sculptural contributions form the basis of exhibitions, interventions, publications, and the production of objects by the MOLAF itself. Exploring a fluidity between artist, artwork, and institution, the MOLAF strives to continually interrogate its own structure, identity, and capacity to both support its collection and generate new working methodologies.
Established and facilitated by Andrew Taggart + Chloe Lewis.
