ing: speculating in the present continuous is an open-source web platform and exhibition space that provides an action-based framework for leveraging speculative ideation. ing (intentionally lower caps and the suffix of present continuous verbs) is developed through a collaborative curatorial approach that invites different visual artists to conceive a series of exercises that engage with speculation through a methodology of play, embracing chance as a fundamental vehicle to reach a speculative mindset, one that embraces a plurality of outcomes. The project integrates multiple voices and perspectives through various techniques and activities, positioning collaboration as a method for uncertainty and collective fiction. Moreover, to embrace speculation and uncertainty in the curatorial exercise itself, each artist or collective
invited another artist to create the same and join the project. The heterogeneity of the project will endorse a multiplicity of sources; instead of planning to reach thematic unity, it intends to proliferate unexpected events that transform the very order of the possible, the probable, and the plausible. ing is a collaborative repository that aims to create a speculative framework through concrete actions, learning by making—verbs rather than nouns. ing is a project directed by Juliana Echavarría and created during her time at the London Interdisciplinary School, while
completing her MaSc Degree.
