Slought Foundation Gallery

UNIVERSITY CITY

Slought Foundation ('Sl-aw-t') is a not-for-profit organization in Philadelphia that broadly encourages new futures for contemporary life through public programs featuring international artists, architects, and theorists. Our programs are purposely critical and provocative in an intimate and participatory environment, and we invite our audiences to consider criticality itself as a source of dynamism and enjoyment. The name of our organization is derived from etymologies of the word 'slough,' and gestures towards ecological metaphors of networks and rejuvenation.

Our main activities take the form of:

• Interdisciplinary publications about contemporary life, critical theory, and curatorial practice;
• Exhibitions exploring contemporary practice as well as legacies of the historic avant-gardes;
• Seminars and symposia featuring theorists and cultural critics in dynamic conversation;
• Performance practices with leading composers, poets, and media artists;
• A comprehensive repository of recordings from past programs available online.
