ALTERED MEANS

Founded in 2014 in Atlanta, ALTERED MEANS was (maybe still is and will be!) an adaptive, experimental curatorial platform that presented its projects through a variety of methods including gallery exhibitions, performances, printed matter, and more. Not tied to a physical space, ALTERED MEANS approached its collaborations and partnerships with a spirit of generosity.

Past collaborators: Jordan Noel, Minister of Aesthetics; Ingrid Magnuson, Mechanics Executor Extraordinaire
