Institut for (X)
Place // Time
Toldboden, Godsbanen, Aarhus, DK // October 2009 -
The Institute of (X) is a culture and business platform for young designers, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs and craftsmen working side by side.
Located in a former customs building, the “Institute of (X)” is a part of Godsbanen, a former railway traffic area now officially dedicated by the municipality of Aarhus to become a future culture hub in the very heart of the city.
The Institute of (X) is run by the Aarhus division of Bureau Detours and comprises various workshop- and office facilities which may be used for projects of all sizes.
A number of non-commercial cultural events (organized by ourselves, the municipality of Aarhus, various international and Danish artists and other art and cultural initiatives) have taken place here. Everything from art exhibitions, concerts, children- and family events, municipal meetings, “open house”, cultural salons, festivals and more.
The Institute of (X) launched two new, much related, initiatives; D.A.K and AIRatX in March 2012:
