the panel discussion making space: relations, sustainability, and the work of art platforms is organized by countercurrent in collaboration with gmtc, hosted by accent sisters.
countercurrent is a publication focused on in(ter)dependent spaces; gmtc is a newly established performance laboratory in chinatown, new york. bringing a publication and an art space into conversation, the panel will share how different art platforms begin and sustain practice, and reflect on how care, commitment, and long-term thinking shape art spaces as they take form.
rather than mapping a field or proposing models, the discussion stays close to lived experience. it considers how questions of sustainability and responsibility engage with the everyday work of making space, and how emerging platforms think through these concerns together while remaining responsive to artists, communities, and cultural contexts.
