Occupied in 2011, the Trainstation Squat is a multi-purpose venue for alternative culture based in Kranj and established by the local youth. It is located besides the actual train station (hence the name) and before it was deserted (and subsequently squatted) it served as a wood storehouse. Nowadays, the place has a much more varied purpose and serves as a place for music concerts, band rehearsals, film screenings, theatre performances, skateboarding and various graphic arts endeavours.

The whole thing functions with an open-door policy towards potential users and is run by the Subart society, which serves as coordinator of the many culture producers who use the squat for various urban and non-commercial events and programmes. Some of the crews and collectives who use the Squat are the Vibe department, NKLG, Spiritual Submarine, Forestdelic, Interparty, KD quilenium, The Mor(R)ons and the Kranj Student Society. They also cooperate with the Layer House and the Rock bar Down Town, and for the purposes of the SubArt Festival, also with the local municipality.

Background

The subcultural activities in Kranj were since 2000 based at the so-called Izbruh's Cultural Pool (Izbruhov kulturni bazen), another squatted place, at that time an indoor swimming pool. Izbruh has been hosting a range of different entertainments (concerts, theatre performances, video and film screenings) several times a week and many as festivals as well. In 2011, the club ceased to exist (though it later turned into a more commercial venue).

No new alternative space has yet been provided for the Izbruh's vivid programmes so they first squatted another place at the bank of the Sava river (called Klub Subart) and a little bit later settled at the train station storehouse. Though they squatted the place on their own, with time they have come to an agreement with the town authorities, who bought and legalised the place.

Trainstation Squat has an intensive programme with over 100 events per year. The most active parts are music with about 5 regular producers creating programme in the club (that can house up to 500 people) and a music studio (bende, DJ-e in producente).

Trenutno delamo tudi na likovnih razstavah, ki bodo vsak mesec po en teden na voljo obiskovalcem, ki želijo spoznati dela mladih kranjskih ustvarjalcev.

The third is film programme that deals with documentaries, art films in the scope of projekt Kinofobia, and also unestavlished moviemakers from Slovenia. Letos smo se odločili, da v sklopu Kinofobije organiziramo še 1. filmski festival + SubArtovem festivalu kratkega filma -TEDEN MLADIH 2015 elo študentov Akademije za gledališče, radio, film in televizijo.
