Funding, through art.
Artbroken represents founders whose primary medium is their own labour. We do not curate ideas — we curate residue. Every work in our catalog was made by the person who made the company, using whatever was left over once the company was finished with them for the day.
The result is an archive: of effort, of years, of the part of a business that the cap table never captures. We sell that archive, in editions of one, to the small number of collectors who recognise it for what it is.
We hold four sales per year. We accept five founders per cycle. We ask for one work per founder, and the work must be honest — meaning, made of what it is made of, and stated as such.
