On March 9th, 2006, UND platform took off in the empty space of a former supermarket at Waldhornstraße, Karlsruhe. About 600 sqms exhibitions space was provided free by Volkswohnung Karlsruhe. Due to the enormous dedication of all participating artists it was possible to realize the idea of an off-scene art fair. From 9th to 12th march UND#1 offered innovative art positions and approaches to ca. 1000 visitors . Apart from local initiatives, guests from Poland and Switzerland took part.

The given architectural circumstances resulted in a kind of hybrid between trade show and working project space. This concept was stressed even more by various interdisciplinary events in between and a discussion panel on artist-run initiatives and their way of networking.
