—A / Artist
R— / Run
—E / Europe
Artist-Run Europe is part how-to resource, part history, and part socio-political critique of the conditions, organisational models, and role of artist-led practice within contemporary visual art and society. An ongoing research and publishing project with multiple contributors, iterations and intended outcomes, it includes case studies of spaces and projects, essay texts, and a detailed index of artist-run spaces from across Europe.
The index is an extensive database of both active artist-run spaces and projects as well as acting as an important archive of now-defunct initiatives. A tool to quantify and compare the disparate attributes, organisational models, funding structures and aims, users can search specific terms or attributes such as location, status, type, or navigate the index by country. New entries are invited and can be submitted via the Submit page.
