The research project “Off OffOff Of?” (2015-2019) undertook an analysis of self-organized art spaces in Switzerland. It has thus created a unique overview of an important part of contemporary Swiss cultural life. An important basis for the scientific work and the cultural policy discussion was the compilation of a data set with over 700 of such initiatives. This data set is accessible via the interface of the project website https://selbstorganisation-in-der-kunst.ch. However, no further use has been made to date. The challenge aims to make the dataset more accessible, i.e. above all to link it to Wikidata and to store parts of it in Wikidata.
