Franklin Furnace is dedicated to serving artists by providing both physical and virtual venues for the presentation of time-based art, including but not limited to artists' books and periodicals, installation art, performance art, and unforeseen contemporary avant-garde artforms; and to undertake other activities related to these purposes" - Franklin Furnace Moving Image Archive Finding AidBrowse this list and descriptions to learn more about the content in the Digital Collections & Achives.
