Forced to leave their Real Street location to make way for an apartment development, dadaLab co-founders Barna Kantor and Kyle Evans secured another lease less than a week before their move.
dadaLab 2.0, naturally, includes a long-desired lab space for developing artworks and two loading docks outside the building, easing the transportation of projects. Acknowledging that they’re just one of many arts organizations that, the duo also takes pride in sharing their new, bigger home with Interactive Nature, Fusebox Festival, and Art Island, among other orgs and individual artists.
Kantor adds: “One of our missions is to bring in new voices and support the up-and-coming experimental works that could change this city again. There’s a robust underground music scene in Austin, still, that absolutely needs to be fostered.”As they complete their move, the co-founders have begun brainstorming ways to utilize their new site. Already in the works? An artist residency and an immersive code-based light art experience for Christmas.
“The only way to rebuild Austin’s art scene is through ownership. You have to be part of the system. Otherwise, the system will always take advantage of you and kick you out when they no longer need you.”
