280A is an association of international artists and curators based in Vienna with a strong focus on contemporary art and post-photographic practice. We offer the possibility of presenting works outside conventional galleries through the strong, cross-border networking of our artists.

​

Based on own curatorial projects new works are conceived and realized; we act here as a producer, curator, presentation platform and independent publisher and provides a counter model to the conventional art business. The projects range from exhibitions, publications, print editions, festivals, trade fairs to curated stays abroad. For every project a new group of artists form the representative of 280A. Like this, the aesthetics, topics and dynamics are in a constant flowing change.
