= construction / providing a link to Bauhaus[3][4] The artist name plays on the difference between the phonetic and the written understanding, and as such underlines the group interest in the relation between art and language.

The gallery stands for LAb[au]'s understanding as a collaborative art agency engaging in a trans-disciplinary work,[9] being expressed through a program ranging not only over exhibitions, screenings and audiovisual performances, but also to conferences, artist-residencies and workshops.

[10] Featured artists range from Manfred Mohr to Nicolas Schöffer, Casey Reas, Limiteazero and Frank Bretschneider to Mika Vainio.

In 2015 the members of LAb[au], Els Vermang and Manuel Abendroth, founded the exhibition platform Société to continue the experience of Mediaruimte, which closed in 2012.
