LABOR was founded in 2007 as a joint initiative of C3 Centre for Culture & Communication Foundation, the Studio of Young Artists Association (FKSE) and the Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE) in the premises of the former Studio Gallery.
LABOR is a platform where the objectives of partner institutions appear jointly: • support of emerging artists • projects related to the contemporary art education • experimental initiatives advancing or reflecting on the structural changes of the contemporary art world • cooperation between art and the scientific and technical domains • events organized in the framework of international collaborations.
The purpose of the collaboration is to create a flexible, shared (art) space that provides a platform for art research as well as exhibitions, projects and occasional events.
LABOR aims to emphasize the social responsibility of contemporary art and its role in knowledge production. It organizes discursive programs to strengthen the debate- and discussion-culture of the local art world involving other fields of culture. LABOR recently opened Book Space, a reading room and library where current theoretical texts, magazines, and publications on visual culture are available.
