H BOX is an 'innovative' roaming screening hall, presenting major new video commissions by eight international
artists. designed by architect didier fiuza faustino, the unique structure hosts a rotating, diverse programme of
videos by alice anderson, yael bartana, sebastiĂĄn dĂaz-morales, dora garcĂa, judit kĂșrtag, valĂ©rie mrĂ©jen,
shahryar nashat, and su-mei tse.

consisting of two entirely collapsible modules constructed of aluminum and perspex, H BOX can be assembled,
disassembled and transported as required. it is designed to travel the world, in search of new audiences.
each year, as H BOX tours between museums internationally, four new artists will join the programme as four
others give up their place. the itinerant nature of the structure and the commissions shown within it highlight the
exciting fluidity of video, a medium that continues to reshape the twenty-first century.
