osseous matter is...
an artist project and curatorial platform founded in 2020. Osseous Matter’s Gallery works with guest curators to create web-specific exhibitions that spotlight emerging and underrepresented artists in all disciplines. Without geographical restrictions, Osseous Matter's main objective is to create meaningful content for artists and art enthusiasts that explores how virtual modalities can create new contexts for engaging with art.
Artist Features is an editorial series of studio visits, interviews, and curated playlists. We work closely with artists to display their artwork and create an authentic representation of their ideas and practice. Some artists collaborate in the design process.
WIP (archived) was an open submission series that shared artists' processes: objects, digital media, thoughts, sketchbooks, poems, sounds, studio setups, performances, and doodles. We encouraged artists to submit frequently and share anything that was relevant to their creative output. Though now an archived project, we believe sharing artists’ processes is important and generative. We still integrate and share WIP in our other programming.

GUEST CURATOR
PROPOSALS
Osseous Matter is accepting curatorial proposals for Winter 2022 and Spring 2023. OM works closely with guest curators to code web specific exhibitions. We present digital artworks innovatively online, as well as challenge how physical works of art translate into a virtual space. Practicing artists, regardless of curatorial experience, are encouraged to submit.
OM asks curators to consider how virtual modalities (non-geographical accessibility, scale, sound, linking of webpages or continous scrolling, images, videos, gifs, other media/design/technology) can create new contexts for engaging with art. Submissions should consider the webpage a critical part of the curatorial concept.
