[MERGING WORLDS]

FORMAT Is an artistic research studio based in Los Angeles, California. Our goal is re-define and re-shape traditional takes on spaces. We focus not only on what a space looks like but also the functionality of that space, while encouraging the development of cross-disciplinary artistic projects. The spaces were conceived as a centre for artistic experimentation, providing space for the convergence of contemporary processes and artistic practices. The studio is actively engaged in artistic analysis and research, providing room for exhibitions and artistic residencies through community partnerships.

FORMAT is the meeting place for various cultures, integrating a number of international creative networks. We aim to catalyze communication between artists, researchers and other artistic initiatives, and to encourage discussion about emerging contemporary art, stimulating the development of artistic and theoretical practices motivated by experimental and shared experiences.
