Experimental Space Collective [esc] evolved from online meetings of artists that began in March 2020 in response to experiences of lockdown. They aim to bring physicality into the virtual space and challenge the hostile screen environment, to see how it could forge new creative spaces and connections between artists in different countries. Over the past 18 months, 3 members of [esc] have developed Project Potpourri to produce a digital publication, an international compendium of conversations and methods of collective art practices. www.experimentalspacecollective.com
