Soft Network is a 2024 Hauser & Wirth Institute Grantee

Known as “a community for reimagining artists’ legacies,” New York-based nonprofit Soft Network provides space for shared dialogue around this critical yet overlooked field and works to redress exclusions in art history. They will use their $20,000 grant to establish a digital archiving station that will help expand Soft Network’s programs, including their yearly Archive-in-Residence program that supports estates and artists through research, archiving, public events, digitization, exhibitions, and publications. They have an upcoming exhibition for their third Archive-in-Residence, the Estate of Sheyla Baykal, taking place April 3rd–May 10th at Soft Network.
