www.rum46.dkrum46 started as a non-profit exhibition space for contemporary art in 1995—initiated by students from the Jutland Academy of Fine Arts in Aarhus, Denmark. Today it is run by 6 members with backgrounds from Det Jyske Kunstakademi, Rietveld Art Akademi in Amsterdam, Det Fynske Kunstakademi, Whitney Independent Study programme in New York, HDK in Berlin og Konsthögskolan in Malmö. As an artist-curator collective rum46´s curatorial practice is today characterized through the key words socio-political and exchange. The projects and art practices rum46 presents often focus on social dialogue, communication and action, which can put important social and political problems in play. The participants involved show new spaces and possibilities of action, alternatives in relation to the society we are part of, via exchanging and interaction in social, political and cultural fields—with a starting point, amongst others, in the aesthetic. At the present time different kinds of international exchange-projects, actions in public open network database and sound events are some of many initiatives. rum46 also encompass live performances, reading groups, investigations on digital media, smaller exhibitions, book editions and debates as host or collaborator with artists, artist groups, curators, theoreticians and educational institutions. rum46 is run by Grete Aagaard, Barbara Katzin, Tanja Nellemann Poulsen, Sixten, Lise Skou, Ditte Lyngkær Pedersen, Thorbjørn Reuter Christiansen.
