In the past year or two we’ve seen both magazines and books move to an electronic format — but now, a gallery in the Chelsea art district of NYC is taking a large portion of their collection online. Called “The Project Room” and located at dinterfineart.com, the site showcases works which can only be seen online and are available for two months before they are archived on the Gallery’s website. This allows Dinter to showcase new and emerging artists while still being able to dedicate their main space to larger scale works. Dinter Fine Art has hosted a “Project Room” on it’s website since March 2004, the first “project room” featuring a collaboration between Brian Belott and Taylor McKimens, titled “Lost & Found”. You can visit “previous projects” for all archived editions.

Interesting how surfaces of all kinds (book and magazine pages, art pieces) are becoming digital- loving the idea of the project room to keep the experience of those surfaces communal rather than only online!
