Central Tasks

In compliance with its vision and credo and as an independent culture and art forum, KulturAXE positions its terms of assignment into the context of contemporary art and the concept development of innovative projects.

Since 2003 a new priority area has been established in the synergy with experimental architecture and technology, and the development of mobile environments.

KulturAXE sees an important new challenge in the development and realization of innovative cultural concepts for sites of cultural heritage in CEE with the means of modern and user oriented architecture. The focus will be set on the creation of “Art and Knowledge Landscapes”.
