SEALTAN PROJECT

Sealtan Project

Since 2025, Sealtan has unfolded through sustained artist-centered cycles of writing and curatorial engagement.

A long-term framework in which selected artist cases remain active over time.

Case Studies

Artist Case Studies

Sealtan develops through sustained engagement with individual artists. Each case gathers writing, dialogue, documentation, and structural reflection into an ongoing research cycle.

Methodology

Writing as Curating

Writing operates as a curatorial act within Sealtan. It reorganizes prior actions and ongoing case studies into a durable structure of references and revisitable nodes.
