As part of CAN’s 30th anniversary program, No Center explores the notion of the “center” in the label “art center”. By questioning the legitimacy of this term, the CAN team and artists attempt an institutional self-criticism and invite reflection on the accessibility and professionalization of art, the criteria for selecting artists, and the exhibition as a space for conviviality.

With the support of: Ville de Neuchâtel, République and Canton de Neuchâtel, Loterie Romande, Fondation Philanthropique Famille Sandoz, Fondation Ernst & Olga Gubler-Hablützel, Fondation culturelle de la Banque Cantonale Neuchâteloise, Fondation Casino de Neuchâtel, Département de la culture du Canton de Bâle-Ville, Österreichisches Kulturforum Bern and Pro Helvetia, Fondation suisse pour la culture.
