OPEN CALL

OPEN CALL for artists to join group exhibition

The group show will exhibit art that is engaging in a way that is comprehensible, provokes thought, inspires or teaches new points of view.

We invite artists working in any given format, technique and/or medium. From poetry to textile, from painting to photography, performance to video – try us! Fundamental selection criteria include the quality, originality, engagement and contemporaneity of the work.

The call is open to anyone – there are no restrictions based on age, gender or nationality. We explicitly welcome creatives without institutional background or formal training. There is no registration fee for the application. Selected artists are expected to attend the opening in person.

NEXT VIENNA EXHIBITION

In the light of the latest surge in Covid cases, the Austrian government has declared a nationwide lockdown starting next monday. This once more introduces curfews and a ban of events and other social gatherings. Because of this, we are required to postpone the upcoming Vienna exhibition scheduled for Nov. 26th – we’re aiming for a date in Jan/Feb now.
