artist-run.eu ~ a new online/mobile resource for and about artist-run spaces is now live!

artist-run.eu continues the ongoing Artist-Run Europe research project, featuring new case studies, and an extensive, searchable, updatable index – an online resource which quantifies and compares the disparate attributes, organisational models, funding structures and aims of a vast number of spaces across Europe.

artist-run.eu features a detailed index of well over 600 spaces and projects from all over Europe, as well as new, expanded case studies of specific projects.

A companion to the publication Artist-Run Europe, the aim of artist-run.eu is to enable artist-run spaces to learn about and connect with each other, and allow artists, curators, researchers and general visitors to explore, learn about and visit artist-run spaces.

We are accepting submissions from European artist-run spaces, projects, collectives, as well as artist-run resource organisations, archives, festivals, annual events, and non-profit art-fairs.

The Artist-Run Index quantifies and compares the disparate attributes, organisational models, funding structures and aims of a vast number of spaces in virtually every corner of Europe. The aim is to enable artist-run spaces to learn about and connect with each other, and allow artists, curators, researchers and general visitors to explore, learn about and visit artist-run spaces. New entries are encouraged and can be submitted now via the Submit page.

Users can search specific terms or attributes such as location, status, type, or navigate the index by country. A companion to the printed publication, the aim of artist-run.eu is to enable artist-run spaces to learn about and connect with each other, and allow artists, curators, researchers and general visitors to explore, learn about and visit artist-run spaces.

Part how-to manual, part history, and part socio-political critique, Artist-Run Europe looks at the conditions, organisational models, and role of artist-led practice within contemporary art and society. The aim is to show how artist-run practice manifests itself, how artist-run spaces are a distinctive and central part of visual art culture, and how they present a complex, heterogeneous, and necessary set of alternatives to the art institution, museum and commercial gallery.

artist-run.eu continues the ongoing Artist-Run Europe research project, featuring new case studies, and an extensive, searchable, updatable index – an online resource which quantifies and compares the disparate attributes, organisational models, funding structures and aims of a vast number of spaces across Europe.

With multiple contributors, iterations and intended outcomes, the ongoing project seeks to support, empower and celebrate artist-run practice, increase knowledge and awareness, and encourage collaboration and discourse.
