The H BOX project commissions new video works for a specially-designed "nomadic" viewing unit. H BOX is hosted by museums and art events around the world.

Launched in 2006, H BOX comprises video works and a nomadic viewing unit that can be completely dismantled and reassembled in host venues including the Centre Pompidou (the Box's first public appearance), Musac (Leon), Mudam (Luxembourg), the Tate Modern (London), the Yokohama Triennal, and the Ocma (Los Angeles).

The Foundation has support H BOX since 2008, reflecting its remit to support the creation of new work in specific artistic discplines. Each year, curator Benjamin Weill commissions four new video works from young international artists.

To date, all H BOX videos have been commissioned from cosmopolitan artists who have risen to prominence since 2000. Through their wide-ranging aproaches, distinctive narrative techniques and technologies, the H BOX programme reflects the diversity of this relatively new discipline, which first emerged in the late 1960s.

The box itself is conceived as an integral screen and setting for the films, designed by Franco-Portugese architect Didier Fiuza Faustino. Made from honeycombed aluminium panels – a state-of-the-art material used in the aerospace industry – the unit is fitted with an audiovisual system designed for optimal viewing.

In 2010, the H BOX continues its tour in Europe and Asia, with a programme of 16 new works.
