after an ambitious and successful first year of initiating and archiving digital collaborations, ima is pleased to partner with stand4 gallery and community art center in bay ridge, brooklyn, ny, to mount a physical manifestation of the archive. ima’s archived volume i exhibitions from june 2020 through june 2021 will be included. an exhibition catalogue has been produced to celebrate the close of volume i and is available to print-on-demand and as a free downloadable .pdf.

this exhibition represents a new collaboration between stand4 gallery and ima whereby hosting the digital archive, stand4 gallery becomes ima and vice versa. this symbiotic relationship enhances each counterpart while implementing an additional layer of collaboration. as a fictional museum and performative project, ima challenges the status quo on the social role of museums by engaging with its fictional structures of operation. it explores the tangible effects fictionality has in the social and economic world and suggests alternative models of exhibiting while sparking meaningful conversations. its online form enables ima to exist in several places at once and reach multiple audiences. it is neither real nor unreal, but can be read as a critical text. its second form is performative: ima is both artwork and museum. it can only exist through the hospitality of others.

about ima

intermission museum of art (ima) was founded in 2020 by rose van mierlo and john ros, in response to the cultural, social, environmental, economic and political fissures that make themselves evermore present during times of crisis and put stress on accepted systems of operation. ima provides a space for critical thinkers to respond to these moments of friction by investigating them as meaningful sites of production, instigating dialogues which will culminate in a public archive.

ima’s name references the question of open space: the flipping movement of a hand searching through archives, gaps in the pavement, performance interludes, tv-commercials, coffee breaks and silent pauses; all moments of unpoliced disruption that are typically un-institutional. at its core, ima therefore proposes the museum as a site of uncertainty; a building without walls; a non-hierarchical collection of interdisciplinary narratives and voices; both a guest and a host; and an exercise in cross-pollination. it resists the architectural premise of power that underwrites the white cube, democratizing the exhibition in terms of access. instead, its architectural premise is that of lateral networks; its vision decentralized and participatory.
