The Slovak Center of Visual Arts (SCVU) and the Dom umenia/Kunsthalle Bratislava (KHB) were established as an outcome of the pursuit of particular artists and theorists as well as the broader cultural public to create a representative exhibition space in the center of Bratislava. The mission of SCVU and KHB is to survey, document and mediate contemporary visual art to national and international audience. The Slovak Center of Visual Arts and the Dom umenia/Kunsthalle Bratislava aim to mediate and house visual art in Slovakia in cooperation with the in-house research and education center through exhibition projects, library, archive, website, magazine, and newsletter.
