Institution Lab is looking for curatorial and research interns with passion and commitment to launch our new digital cultural platform and museum!

Institution is a cultural association that promotes a new artistic institution model, aimed at combining research and experimentation with popularity and participation. The association aims, through mixing the arts and research on important social issues, to implement a kind of revolution in which the arts are seen as tools for understanding the world. Some of the most important protagonists in the world of culture are involved, such as Nicolas Bourriaud, Maurizio Cattelan, Marina Abramovic, Cai Guo-Qiang, Bart de Baere, David Elliott, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Mami Kataoka, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. Meetings continue in the coming months on our new platform Institution.Art: a VR and AI powered digital platform to innovate the virtual experience of art launching in March 2025.

Institution Lab is led by our internationally recognized curator and director, Fabio Cavallucci.
