The Museum of Longing and Failure (MOLAF) is a collecting entity with a focus on small-scale object-based works. The MOLAF takes shape through a sustained conversation with living artists and collectives, whose contributed sculptures form the basis of exhibitions, interventions, publications, and the production of new objects by the MOLAF itself. Exploring a fluidity between institution, artwork, and author, the MOLAF strives to continually interrogate its own structure, identity, and capacity to both support its collection and generate new working methodologies.
Established and facilitated by Andrew Taggart + Chloe Lewis.
