Wetlab

The Wetlab is a space at Hangar where hybrid, unconventional practices take place—ones that destabilize and add complexity to the established boundaries between science and art from a transhackfeminist perspective. It is a laboratory dedicated to material experimentation, rooted in DIY (Do It Yourself) and DIWO (Do It With Others) cultures, where responsible autonomy and creative collaboration are essential. The Wetlab also hosts workshops, talks, and research residencies. Its aim is to foster encounters between artists, scientists, and various social agents, and to promote the development of open tools that facilitate knowledge transfer. The Wetlab’s resident agents are envisioned as catalysts of material research processes capable of establishing both conceptual and practical interrelations with the center, generating learning communities around their fields of work. The Wetlab is not a conventional laboratory—nor does it aspire to be one. It remains open to transformation and carries the history of its past residents. It is equipped with a shared central work table and laboratory instruments, most of which have been recovered from other currently inactive labs.
