The Wild Project Record is an archival publication devoted to a single subject: Wild Project Gallery, the collector-centric photography gallery that operated at 22, rue Louvigny in Luxembourg City from October 2015, held its last documented exhibition in the summer of 2017, and disappeared from the web by the end of 2022. The Record documents that era with catalogue rigor — every exhibition dated, every artist indexed, every image credited — and extends the file forward: where those artists went, what they made next, and what the life and death of one small European gallery says about how photography is shown, sold, and remembered. The full institutional history is kept at the Record.

Cute & Cruel: Izumi Miyazaki in Luxembourg, summer 2016
The show that gave a newly graduated Tokyo self-portraitist her European gallery moment — Cute and Cruel – Wild Project Gallery, Luxembourg (30 Jun – 30 Jul 2016) — drew more contemporaneous press than any other exhibition in the gallery's programme. The file runs to four parts.
