Arts Collaboratory

Made in Mirrors is a long-term international cooperative venture, started in 2007 and dedicated to encouraging and enabling the small-scale exchange of creative people (including artists, writers, musicians, architects and philosophers) and ideas that result from mirroring reality from different angles.

Made in Mirrors wants to foster curiosity, create conditions for mirror experiments and generate communication about the conclusions. MiM functions as a ‘cultural interface,’ a dynamo for reflection, and an exchange between the venues of artistic practice in the four corners of the world. The results of such exchanges take the form of exhibitions, publications, lectures and any other suitable media. Each participating region has one person responsible for the content and artistic quality of the projects. Together they decide on the program and the mission of the project. They are William Wells (The Townhouse Gallery in Cairo, Egypt), Hu Fang (Vitamin Creative Space in Guangzhou, China), Cristiana Tejo (Fundacao Joaqim Nabuco in Recife, Brazil), and Stijn Huijts (Schunck*Museum in Heerlen, the Netherlands), who is also the founding father of the MiM project.
