Kunstraum Lakeside

Kunstraum Lakeside is a site for the production and presentation of international contemporary art, which aims to provoke critical reflection on aspects of the economy that concern society as a whole. Given its location at the Lakeside Science & Technology Park in the immediate vicinity of the University of Klagenfurt, the Kunstraum operates at the interface of economic, scientific, and cultural research, practices, and forms of discourse, and strives to make an enduring contribution to the social and cultural dynamic at Lakeside Park.

The mission of Kunstraum Lakeside is to convey and challenge divergent perspectives on common social relations. Through its various exhibitions, public art projects, lectures, discussions, film evenings, and publications as well as cooperations with universities and other institutions, the Kunstraum triggers interdisciplinary debates on the pressing issues of our time among correspondingly diverse audiences. Implementing such a program capitalizes on the potentials that arise from the close-knit ties on site between business, university research, and the artistic field.
