The Psychoforum is a set of hexagonal panels that can be assembled into a wide variety of multipurpose spaces. This piece was originally part of a traveling group show and functioned as an autonomous zone within the larger exhibition. At each venue, a different guest curator mounted an exhibit of his/her choosing within the Psychofurum, and thus its shape, form and contents changed. The mutating surface of the Psychoforum facilitates walls, benches, niches, shelves, and plinths for displaying artwork, films, books, etc.

Which were the microscopic and macroscopic processes involved? Analogies to processes such as reaction, precipitation, crystallization, emulsion, combustion, and the flux between stable and unstable, states both in the configuration of spaces and our psychological perception.
