An independent and curated infrastructure linking galleries, institutions, and exhibitions worldwide.
1 Cubic Meter is an editorial map of contemporary art venues and exhibitions, built city by city to document where contemporary art is produced, presented, supported, and encountered.
The project is built on a principle of horizontality, both geographic and qualitative. It gives attention to scenes outside the established circuit alongside the major capitals, and approaches a small artist-run space with the same editorial care as a long-standing institution. Each entry is the outcome of editorial selection, a curatorial reading of contemporary art across painting, sculpture, installation, performance, moving image, and other current practices.
We maintain the map continuously, with its focus kept entirely on contemporary art.
