Ättiksfabriken is an artist-run space situated in Falun, Sweden that aims to promote contemporary art and other cultural projects. The unconventional model which it proposes is the one of a bidirectional informational fluxus: from the projects realised within this space towards the exterior and vice versa, presenting to the local public international art projects and concepts.The confusion that ca
n be created between the words, unrelated etimologically Ättik in Swedish and the English Ethics is used as a motif for the plurality of systems of values and the acid relationship that often exists between them. The space is found in the building where between the years 1837-1879 functioned the first vinegar factory (Ättiksfabriken in Swedish), projected by the architect Bergmästare Clas Wallman and ruled by J.W. The building belongs to Falu Kommun and was restored in 2015 by the Kultur och Fritidsförvaltningen. Next to Ättiksfabriken is located the former prison of the city.
