Spare Room

ongoing

Spare Room is a platform for sharing ideas and resources in Pittsburgh, Pa. We are committed to creating an informal, self-supporting network for artists, activists and organizers to exchange information and build relationships. We believe that space, as a resource, should be made available for cooperative use. My house provides more space than my roommates and I need to live comfortably and happily. So what other uses can I find for that space? What other uses can you think of? Propose something…

By opening our homes to a broader community, we aim to challenge conventional notions of ownership and blurr the boundaries between life and art. So far, Spare Room has been used for project meetings, organizational retreats, music events, exhibitions, documentary screenings and as accommodation for out-of-town visitors.

In the spring and summer of 2008, Spare Room will host a series of artist residencies. To learn how to apply visit www.spareroompgh.org
