This year, the 13th open Art Award call of Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le e. V. invi­tes young artists to sub­mit works on the open topic “Wan­del — Wech­sel — Wen­de”. as we are lite­ral­ly loo­king with our expec­ta­ti­ons and hopes for some­thing new. The winner’s work will be shown in autumn 2023 in a solo exhi­bi­ti­on at Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le Essen. In addi­ti­on, the win­ner will pre­sent her/him work in one night of our series ZU GAST.

 

IDEA 

The Art Award 2023 is bound to the topic “Wan­del — Wech­sel — Wen­de”. Plea­se sub­mit a pro­ject (expo­sé), which is to be rea­li­zed at Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le Essen in a solo exhi­bi­ti­on (ope­ning Sep­tem­ber 2023). From the expo­sé the deve­lo­p­ment of the own artis­tic work should emer­ge clearly.

 

CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION 

The open call addres­ses artists up until the age of 35. The win­ner com­mits her-/hims­elf to rea­li­ze an exhi­bi­ti­on in fall 2023 at Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le Essen (ope­ning on 07/09/2023). On this day the­re will be an intro­duc­to­ry speech or artist talk. The win­ner will also intro­du­ce his/her work fur­ther by doing a lec­tu­re, talk, per­for­mance (or other forms) in our series “ZU GAST” in Essen or Dues­sel­dorf. The win­ner is obli­ga­ted to orga­ni­ze an intro­duc­to­ry per­son and pos­si­ble other interlo­cu­tors. We inform that the­re will be no bud­get other than the pri­ce money.
