StudioK3 is an artist led, non profit Project Space which focuses on contemporary art and networking. It is currently based in a former Hairdressers shop near the Irchel Park in Zurich at Schaffhauserstrasse 192.
Essentially, StudioK3 is a place to meet and see contemporary art in Zurich, it aims to encourage the discussion of contemporary art practice whilst giving visibility to its invited artists.
It provides exhibition opportunities and an outlet to art practitioners, establishing direct relations with contemporary art practice with Zurich and Swiss based artists, whilst linking Swiss artists with Great Britain and bridging the gap with the international art world.
K3 Project Space was founded by artist Clare Goodwin and art historian Sandi Paucic in their large industrial art studio. Originally based in the old MAAG cogwheel factory in Zurich between 2002 and 2016 "K3 Project Space" has collaboratively - initially often together with curator Oliver Kielmayer - organized around 120 exhibitions and countless performances, discussions, informal meetings and other events.
Between 2004 and 2012 K3 Project Space was the co-producer of the wearetheartists.net news paper. The international art newspaper was known for its provocative photo novellas and feared for its critical reviews and reports on contemporary exhibitions.
Some of the events took place in London in collaborations with CGP Bermondsey and Coleman Project Space. 2020 the name was changed to STUDIOK3. It was initially only online, then appeared as a pop-up at various locations in Zurich.
