The exhibition «ART SPACE IN A GREY ZONE» documents
a series of architectural projects engaging in the spatial, urban,
and political positions of TRANZIT, a network of autonomous
initiatives in contemporary art, and its specific situation
in Bratislava. Exploring issues such as landscape, exhibition
space, and factors of production in contemporary art, the
15 projects presented in the exhibition document how friction
with a given environment, a «grey zone», can generate
new and complex architectural solutions. A series of models
and architectural drawings introduces the activities of
TRANZIT Bratislava and provides an overview of the methods
and design strategies employed at the Department of Concept
and Design in Vienna and at the Institute of Ecological and
Experimental Architecture in Bratislava.
