SYSTEMA is a gathering of affinities, offering a social space that provides a venue and visibility for independent spaces, artist- or curator-run initiatives, and non-profit collaborative projects. Contributors are invited to propose works for exhibition and public programs, which, after a careful selection process, are allocated throughout the various spaces of Palais Carli, Marseille’s former Art Institute.
In 2025, SYSTEMA’s artistic comittee is composed by Won Jin Choi, Lucas Jacques-Witz, Myriam Mokdes and Ryder Morey-Weale.
SYSTEMA is a non-profit organisation founded in 2021 in Marseille, France, by three independent spaces; Giselle’s Books, Gufo and Voiture 14.
