Floating Lab Collective

The Remuseum by the Floating Lab Collective is a participatory, mobile experiment that investigates museum processes such as collecting, valuing and displaying objects. Through discussions with DC communities, such as Deanwood, Brentwood, Petworth and Anacostia, the Floating Lab Collective selected and replicated personal objects of value. These objects, along with unique stories delivered by their owners, will be displayed in a retrofitted taco truck.

A collective of Washington DC-based artists, Floating Lab Collective (FLC) specializes in new media art with a social conscience. Their focus is to expand the space of art into public space and to expand the discourse about contemporary art. The participating FLC artists include: Edgar Endress, Peter Lee, Blake Turner, Gwyneth Van Laven, Sean Watkins, Sue Wrbican. The participating artists are a dynamic and flexible group that expands and contracts in size depending on the piece to be executed.  They began their activities as a collective in 2007 during Multimediale, a new media art show in Washington DC. Their first piece was titled “Protesting on Demand.” In 2007 they participated in a TRANSITiO_MX, Laboratorio Arte Alameda, Mexico, a media art festival, with a localized version of the piece “Protesting on Demand”. In 2008 The Floating Lab Collective was awarded a grant by The Creative Communities Initiative Program, from the Community Foundation of the National Capital Region Washington, DC in collaboration with Provisions Library and Gallery.
