Kunsthalle Bratislava is a state-funded cultural institution without a permanent collection,
focused on presenting a wide range of contemporary art approaches. It is situated in the
historic House of Arts building, established in 1958, located in the most vivid part of the city
centre. Kunsthalle Bratislava strives to formulate new dialogical trajectories among various
geographies or political positions; its goal is to function as an inclusive communal space of
immersion and engagement between (non)professionals. The institution’s cultural path,
besides the temporal exhibition dramaturgy, focuses on collaborations with other
institutions, cross-disciplinary relationships and mediation of discursive and learning
exchange.
