The Automat is a non-profit exhibition and event space in Saarbrücken that sees itself as an open platform for explorative discourse. The focus is on organising exhibitions of contemporary art; young local artists are shown as well as national and international positions. The formats are developed independently, cooperated with changing partners and project proposals are taken up.
Spontaneous uses for knowledge transfer and cultural or civil society initiatives are just as much part of the concept as the bringing together of visual art with other forms of expression. Founded in 2019.
