🗄 Franklin Furnace Archive

Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc. is an arts organization, now located in Long Island City, New York City. Since its inception on Manhattan's Franklin Street in 1976, Franklin Furnace has been presenting and archiving avant-garde art and making it available to the public. Franklin Furnace is dedicated to serving emerging artists by providing both physical and virtual venues for the presentation of time-based art, including but not limited to artists' books and periodicals, site-specific installations, performance art, and live art on the internet. It focuses on time-based art forms that may be vulnerable due to institutional neglect, cultural bias, politically unpopular content or their ephemeral or experimental nature.
