LIFE is a living room for ‘portative works’: books, jewellery, and small-scale objects by artists; and artworks by people who may not consider themselves artists. LIFE is concerned with the things people make that are not often given emphasis in their professional practice, rather, with the useful-everyday, small experimentations and tokens of gift-economy among fellow makers.
LIFE is a project initiated by artist Ash Kilmartin, with the help of many friends. The space is housed alongside colleagues Wilfried Lentz and CINNNAMON, in the Delfshaven area of Rotterdam.
