The Unimaginative Institute

The Unimaginative Institute

Department of Artistic Maladjustment

A fictitiousinstitution of questionable standing dedicated to the advancement, documentation, and continued encouragement of artists who make things, collect things, ruin perfectly good surfaces, reject sensible career advice, and develop unreasonable attachments to materials.

Department of Artistic Maladjustment

The Department exists to classify what probably should have been left unclassified: creative compulsions, studio habits, questionable judgment, material obsessions, and the assorted behavioral evidence produced by people who insist on making things anyway.

The Artist Collection

The Artist Collection is the Institute’s public record of these conditions, translated into apparel, objects, pins, mugs, bags, and other useful documentation.
