Practice & Partnership

Water Over Clouds is a cultural studio and artist collective based in New York City. We work across painting, research, spatial installation, film, and architectural study. We treat art as investigation -- and investigation as material.

We partner through commission, collaboration, and advisory. If you are working on something that sits at the intersection of culture, technology, and space -- we would like to hear about it.
