The Centre for the Fictitious Ante Facto is a fully functional para-institution and avant-garde white cube space built on the premise that ‘a white cube is a dice with no dots’.

Founded in 2024, the mobile centre has previously exhibited Jens Masimov and published a book On Tent Hooks (2024), using its grabber mechanism. At its core, the Centre is a receptacle of open-ended eventualities premised on a willingness to call oneself a gambler or that structures are games, and games are gambles, and gambles are desires, and desires are anti-intellectual.

It is a hotline, collection, examination, catalogue, editing service, studying room, researching conference, cross-reference, number, assembly-line, classification, conservator, document and display. For the fans, chancers and academics alike, the informal, improper and public are the centre’s official activities.

Director and Founder, Nathalie Viruly, runs the centre, which is currently in tenure at Stockholm University. In this instance, at Norberg Festival 2025, the Centre for the Fictitious Ante Facto is curated by Bad Federation.

The Centre for the Fictitious Ante Facto is part of Norbergfestival 2025's bleed: program.
