Open Space aims to bring diverse creative practices together to encourage exchange and joint projects with its visual arts programme within its long-established history in Vienna. This program designates the inter-relationship between creative practice and divergent lines of encounters in an engagement of creating a discursive platform for a variety of reflections of potential critical dialogues to facilitate new creative connections initiated by Gülsen Bal.

The programme covers three sections in which an exhibition is delivered in seeking for multi-facetted criticality by presenting different artistic practices by Mustafa Akkaya, Sener Özmen, Khaled Ramadan. There is a Special Event section showing the works of Jorge Galindo & Santiago Sierra, Servet Koçyigit, Renata Poljak under Film- and Video-Screening: From a Place of Darkness, forcing us to rethink historical notions of progress and the inhibitions. Along the side, a Meeting Point section functions to create a platform for experimental practices in collaboration with the University of ARUCAD.
