Lateral ArtSpace was initiated in April 2012 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, as an experimental platform for young and emerging artists, emphasising dialogue between local and international artists. Lateral ArtSpace assists and promotes the development of solo exhibitions and group projects, along with a programme of events that includes performance, video screenings, public gatherings, book/magazine launches, and artist’s talks. The exhibition programme is continuously diversifying while constructing a network of young artists from different countries.
