The exhibition “ART SPACES IN A GRAY ZONE” documents a series of architectural projects regarding the spatial, urban, and political situation of TRANSIT – a network of autonomous contemporary art initiatives and their specific situation in the city of Bratislava. Fifteen exhibited projects address themes such as landscape, exhibition space, and production factors in visual art. It documents how the “tensions” created by the given environment, i.e., the “gray zone” of the city, can inspire new and complex architectural solutions. Through a series of models and architectural drawings, this exhibition provides an overview of methods and design approaches developed at the Faculties of Architecture in Vienna and Bratislava, and introduces viewers to the activities of tranzit Bratislava.
