StudioK3 is an artist led, non profit Project Space in Zurich which focuses on contemporary art and networking. StudioK3 is currently based in a former Hairdressers shop near the Irchel Park in Zurich at Schaffhauserstrasse 192 (Tramstop Hirschwiesen, Trams 10 + 14). StudioK3 is supported by the Kultur Stadt Zürich.
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. 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.
