About BoARD

“After decades of operating within the conventional aisles of the art world, Ryan Board is an artist who has found himself carving a new genre of practice. He calls this ‘Deep Artistic Research.’” 

The Bureau of Abundance Research & Design is his living archive of projects. This is where deep artistic research meets poetic engineering. Each project is a proposition a public experiment exploring ecology, perception, systems, and transformation. BoARD now emerges from decades behind the curtain to share its archive, fieldwork, and future missions.
