Onze taak

BAK is a leading international platform for theoretically informed, politically driven art and experimental research. Based in Utrecht, BAK addresses the social, ideological, and environmental urgencies of the present by combining public programming and exhibition making with research, learning, and talent development. Working with communities involved in arts, activisms, and academia, BAK cultivates art as a public sphere and a space for politico-aesthetic experiments.

"BAK, basis voor actuele kunst is a base for art, knowledge, and the political. BAK is committed to the notion of art as a public sphere and a political space, and provides a critical platform for aesthetico-political experiments with and through art. BAK brings together artists, thinkers, and other members of the precarious classes to imagine and enact transformative ways of being together otherwise."
