The European Kunsthalle was and is an institution without its own space. It defines itself as a 'Kunsthalle' (Art Space), because the team is interested in the history of this type of institution and its idea of the public. The publication 'Under Construction' contains documentation of the similar titled series of lectures and panel discussions that took place 01-31 March 2006. The essays tackle fundamental issues facing new initiatives and institutions for contemporary art, and is divided into five topics: The Problem of Location, The Process of Societal Transformation, Cultural Economies, Curatorial Concepts, and, most ambitiously of all, The Way in Which the Art System Operates. Articles and discussion transcripts include "The Crisis of the Audience," "The Cultural Politics of Institutions," "Smuggling: A Curatorial Model," "The Power and Powerlessness of the Private Collector" and Liam Gillick's "Revised Construction of One." . Currently (2026) the European Kunsthalle is registered as a non-profit organisation in Vienna. Following the idea of situational presence, the European Kunsthalle will take place in Vienna and elsewhere.
