Objects as temporal entities

Objects as Temporal Entities comprises a series of documents, guides, art objects, and a solar-powered archive designed to investigate, trouble, and provide guidance on the storage and breakdown of materials in collection. Developed by the Centre for Sustainable Curating with members of the Synthetic Collective at LUMA Arles as a part of the Sustainable Institution (TSI) residency, Objects as Temporary Entities is intended to help artists and collectors factor in the long and short lives and afterlives of artworks and objects through the lens of health and climate impacts.
