Dirty Dark Place (DDP) is an errant artist-run project spanning contemporary art, publishing, sound, moving image, and cultural research.

Founded in Austin, TX, by Daedelus Hoffman, DDP encompasses exhibitions, social sculptures, objects & printed matter, artist books, records, film, radio, writing, archives, a Substack, and the ongoing podcast & performance series Trouble Country.

Projects are guided by histories of place, parafictional inquiry, utopian and dystopian narratives, where research and fabrication drift between play, mischief, menace, and invention.
