Read01 — manifesto
Art is me.
Me is art.
You cannot own a form of expression.
You can only create it, collect it, and let it become a part of you.
If you create.
If you collect.
If you see art not as something to have, but something to live—
this is your place.

Cast forms left to hold their own weight in an empty room for six weeks. No plinths. The floor was the argument.

what we make, and how
adaux works across exhibitions, publishing, and sound. Group shows, artist books, zines, short-run pressings, small objects made properly instead of quickly.
We build with the artists we work with, not for them. If something needs making, we find a way to make it — and we keep making it after the opening night is over.
