Unrealised Projects is artist run and motivated.

Unrealised Projects is an active investigation into the potential of unrecognised, unfinished or unfulfilled ideas. We're collecting proposals from artists, designers, curators, writers, performers and musicians which they have yet to realise or remain unwritten.

The project aims to create a space and context for this submitted information, a space where concepts are at the fore, are not fixed in a final product, and rely on the viewer's imagination to be 'realised', where a de-material, ill fitting, perfectly formed, forgotten, never forgotten, in between, ridiculous, attainable, subjective, co-authored, text, image, sound, archive lives in the present through the never ending poetics of potentiality.

Thanks for browsing.

How can art be realized?

Out of volumes, motion, spaces bounded by the great space, the universe.

Out of different masses, light, heavy, middling- indicated by variations of size or color-directional line-vectors which represent speeds, velocities, accelerations, forces, etc...-these directions making between them meaningful angles, and senses, together defining one big conclusion or many.

Spaces, volumes, suggested by the smallest means in contrast to their mass, or even including them, juxtaposed, pierced by vectors, crossed by speeds.

Nothing at all of this is fixed.

Each element able to move, to stir, to oscillate, to come and go in its relationships with the other elements in its universe.

It must not be just a fleeting moment but a physical bond between the varying events in life.

Not extractions,

But abstractions

Abstractions that are like nothing in life except in their manner of reacting.

From Abstraction-Creation, Art Non Figuratif, no. 1, 1932.
