CRATE is currently playing host to the Davis Lisboa Mini Museum of Contemporary Art, Barcelona which is running a weekly exhibition programme. The first in the series is Canadian artist Bill Burns who is exhibiting his work Hou Hanru Hear Us. You can see Hou Hanru Hear Us at CRATE until Sunday 1 September.

On our opening night (August 23rd) the mini museums director, Davis Lisboa, gave a performance conference at CRATE. A video of this will be up soon.

This week we launched our new research project, The Small, Unusual and Specialist Museums Survey, which is attempting to catalogue and connect with as many small, unusual and specialist museums in Europe as we can. CRATE is sending out a survey via email and post asking the staff of these museums what they think about their institutions, their collections, what they think might happen to their museums in the future and how they feel their museums contribute to the cultural life of their area. This project is ongoing and perhaps impossible but our research starts now and you can see the project as it unfolds on the walls of CRATE throughout August/September.
