Alternative Art Spaces and Their Alternatives

Maximilian Lehner

25. 11. 2021 at 6 pm, Škuc Gallery

In the last years, more and more alternative or off-spaces entered the art scene. Oftentimes, we might wonder what might be alternative about them, and what could still constitute an alternative today. As the emergence and proliferation of such spaces is not a new phenomenon, this talk will look into different histories of off-spaces. Departing from the question of what constitutes the ‘alternative’ in their definitions, it should be a start for a conversation on the possibilities of alternative art spaces today.

More about the rest of the exhibition programme and exhibition.
