The Association for Temporary Arts is a forum for presenting and discussing contemporary art. [a:t] is not guided by any prior prejudices as to what art is or ought to be; rather, it searches for new areas and forms of distribution for contemporary art. In this search, the Internet is an obvious forum, but not the only one, activities include exhibitions as well as seminars.
The organisation is small, we are five people only, Åsa Andersson-Broms, Karin Hansson, Nils Claesson, Astrid Trotzig and Josefin Ericsson. But we collaborate with a network of people where the small organisation makes us very flexible as a collaborative partner.
Geographically we are located in Stockholm, but we don’t have our own office. The Association for Temporary Art is a temporary project and we like to have it in this way. It gives us a platform for creating interesting art projects, but it doesn’t need to be maintained, as there are no costs except production costs.
Financially The Association for Temporary Art has no regular support. Each project has its own solution based on the generous help from friends, partners and contributors. The Arts Grants Committee of Sweden (Konstnärsnämnden) has supported [a:t](1996), Best before (1999), The Art of Organising (2001) and "The Body in the Net" (2007).
