ART AWARD 2024: “In die Zukunft zurück”
Deadline: March 15th 29th 2024
This year, the 14th open Art Award call of Baustelle Schaustelle e. V. invites young artists to submit photographs on the open topic “Zurück in die Zukunft”. The winner’s work will be shown in autumn 2024 in a solo exhibition at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen.
IDEA
The Art Award 2024 is bound to the topic “Zurück in die Zukunft”. Please submit a project (exposé), which is to be realized at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen in a solo exhibition (opening september 2024). 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 at the time of the exhibition. The winner commits her-/himself to realize an exhibition in fall 2024 at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen. 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.
BAUSTELLE SCHAUSTELLE
The project space Baustelle Schaustelle is a venue for young contemporary art. Since fall 2007 works by young international artists have been exhibited. The non-profit showroom in Brigittastraße, Essen which was initially intended as a temporary experimental platform, has become established as a permanent exhibition venue. From 2010 until 2022 the Art Award already received a great amount of positive feedback from artists and the media.
