La rada is a space dedicated to contemporary art in the heart of Locarno. Founded as a platform for artistic exploration, it was co-directed by Noah Stolz and Patrick Gosatti between 2007 and 2012. Over the years, La Rada has established itself as a key venue thanks to a rich and eclectic programme combining exhibitions, cultural events and the exploration of experimental formats. Its varied activities include publishing works, producing complex installations, making artists’ films, and organising conferences, festivals and performances. In collaboration with renowned institutions both in Switzerland and internationally, such as LUX in London and Argos in Brussels, La Rada remains a dynamic laboratory for contemporary artistic practices and a meeting place for artists, ideas and the public.
