About
Inter Arts Center (IAC)
Inter Arts Center (IAC) is an infrastructure for artistic research and research in music education, research education, as well as cross-disciplinary art and research. As part of the Faculty of Fine and Performing Arts at Lund University, IAC operates in close dialogue with the three academies Malmö Art Academy, Malmö Academy of Music, and Malmö Theatre Academy.
IAC facilitates opportunities for collaboration and exchange between faculty researchers, other university researchers, external academic and artistic partners, as well as society at large.
IAC was established in 2010 and is located on the fourth floor of the old Mazetti chocolate factory, in central Malmö. It is a work and meeting place for researchers and artists who use the advanced technical facilities for short and long-term projects. The center includes sound, video and artist studios, and venues for performances, concerts, installations, screenings, talks and seminars.
IAC aims to create a strong cross-disciplinary environment for artistic inquiry, development, production, and exchange. As a unique place for experimentation, IAC particularly supports and promotes artistic development work, research with a focus on technology-oriented art and cross-disciplinary projects and processes.
