AFAAB

AFAAB is the initiative for the creative preservation of the Ant Farm Antioch Art Building.

The Antioch Art Building was designed by radical architects Doug Michels (of the seminal media art and experimental architecture group Ant Farm) and Tom Morey and built in 1971 out of local off-the-shelf components.

The building’s metal cladding, concrete floors, and utilitarian details resemble the vernacular Ohio architecture factory or warehouse. However, the look and feel of the building is more like a vibrant, bright, Neo-Bauhaus workshop, with huge a huge gallery space, print studio, painting studio, and ceramic space surmounted by classrooms, screening rooms, and a fourth floor of lofted open individual studios.

AFAAB aims to preserve the building for future generations of artists and creatives to use, while having fun and making art along the way.
