Dom umenia / Kunsthalle Bratislava
addresses to visual artists, theoreticians and curators of contemporary art an

OPEN CALL FOR SUBMITTING EXHIBITION PROJECTS,

which will be realized in 2014 in the space of 
the newly reconstructed Kunsthalle LAB.

Kunsthalle LAB* is the part of the exhibition 
space of the nascent Kunsthalle Bratislava. Its 
display windows are oriented to the frequented 
public communication of Square SNP. The 
exhibition space of Kunsthalle LAB would like to 
present the most recent, overlapping 
manifestations of visual art. Preferred will be 
contextual projects with a clear and dense 
concept, perhaps even directly reacting on the 
site-specific situation of the gallery´s 
location, or the opportunity of direct 
communication of contemporary art with the public 
space from behind the display windows of the LAB 
and its daily functioning.

Our ambition is preferentially to present projects
/ of interactive character,
/ site-specific,
/ working with light and sound- mediating the sensory setting of the viewer,
/ reckoning with the participation of the viewer, collaborative, collective,
/ performative,
/ confronting in general the traditional 
perception of art as an exclusively ’artistic' 
discipline,
/ projects well and effectively communicating in 
the direction of the street´s space and 
Bratislava´s frequented square.

--------
The opportunity to apply for the space of 
Kunsthalle LAB with an authorial project pertains 
to the time period May - December 2014. We will 
discuss the exact date of the exhibition with 
each selected author individually.
