💕Here’s a short story about a romance under the bridge💕The last couple of years, super-crew Aarhus Volume was flirting with the remote area under the bridge (Ringgadebroen) a stone throw away from their headquarters at X. With some “kommunal bowling”, they finally signed a user-agreement with BDK (Bydelskontoret) which allows their love with the territory to flourish for at least 5 more years, until the year of 2025 ⚡️Last year, the bridge-area was initiated with the festival “Aarhus Volume Under Gaden”, and since then, different live events happened, like corona-friendly Herselection in September 💃🏾Pics taken by Thor Sølyst Farup, Johan Buus and nyiaarhus.dk #institutforx #aarhusvolume

X history week: 10 MORE YEARS, BUILDING G, THE LOF

X history week: 10 MORE YEARS, BUILDING G, THE LOFT AND K.10 more years: This year, 2020, the municipality finally agreed to a user-contract for (X) to stay in the area for 10 more years! Here’s a piece of history on some of the latest blossoming parts of Institut for (X):Building G’s nickname is GONE because of its location south of Institut for (X). G was taken to use in 2012 and contains a variety of materials and artefacts from past Bureau Detours projects. Today it functions as storage for eventmaker crew Aarhus Volume, who also, the last few years, started bringing the remote area from G and down to the bridge (Ringgadebroen) alive.The loft, under the ceiling of A-huset, works today as a multifunctional room embracing band rehearsals, learning room and meeting ground for up to 30 multimedia artists, musicians and social entrepreneurs. The Loft also functions as an artist-residency (with the artists participating in the space) and intimate venue.New area K is located between the original area of Institut For (X) and Ringgadebroen alongside Den Grønne Kile. It’s junction is the K-building, DSB’s earlier service building called “Welfare- and machinehouse”. Today the area is evolving into a cultural space for social initiatives like UAC artplatform (Useful Art for Communities), Natur Retur, and Viking-battle-group Ask.Download THIS IS X for free on our website institutforx.dk and learn more about us <3Sources: THIS IS X, X2 Guide til Degentrificering, photographers incl.

X history week: BUILDING C (2011), YARDSHOPPEN + K

X history week: BUILDING C (2011), YARDSHOPPEN + KJÅLLEREN AND THE E-HOUSEAround 2011 Bureau Detours took over Building C (3rd building being occupied). It was originally the washing station for freight train covers and is the only one still remaining in Denmark, therefore it’s uniquely labeled worthy of preservation. C became the workshop and physical testing ground of Bureau Detours. This includes light and heavy machinery for woodwork and serves as a project space.As a part of the C-house there is a small space that was once busy as Yardshoppen and today Kjålleren. Yardshoppen was assembling the raw graffiti culture og Aarhus, selling cans, merch and drinks with an outside hangout area. Today there is Kjålleren, a small shop by locals with a wide selection of drinks and beers and if you’re lucky, a DJ accompanying them.Outside the C building is the E-house (5th house of X) - E is a temporary project space, through the years it housed: a fashion designer, drawing exhibition, masters project, underground party, birthday party, photography studio, etc. Today it houses Patteriet, a ceramics workspace.Sources: THIS IS X and different photographers incl.

X history week: BULLDOZERDAY, F-HOUSE AND WHAT USE

X history week: BULLDOZERDAY, F-HOUSE AND WHAT USED TO BE 🔥Before bulldozer day came, and made way for the new School Of Architecture between Godsbanen and Institut For (X), there was the B- and F-House with a garden to ind side, and the skatebowl on the other.In continuation of the B-house was the long, narrow building of F. F-house was the start-up hub of Institut For (X). It was surrounded by a beautiful garden with hangout-spots, childrens playgrounds and a courtside where different physical activities was hosted such as yoga, sports, volley and the Vikings Club combat training. This spot was the old “entrance” to X, when coming from the city.Inside the F-house design- and architecture-crews T1000, Spant Studio, Studio Mockup, Træmand and Tetris-Studios had build their own offices and ateliers from the inside, joined by party-club Double Rainbow (Later Oginokken), MC-klubben, and the early days of Plantecaféen.Bulldozer Day (28th January 2019) came in agreement with the municipality and demolished parts of the culture of Institut For (X). It helped push people to do things today, rather than tomorrow and keeps X intuitive and spontaneous.Sources: THIS IS X and different photographers incl. Johan Adrian Buus
