ART AWARD 2020: „Untit­led: Pain­ting – sta­tus and perspectives“
Dead­line: April 4, 2020

This year, the 11th open Art Award call of Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le e. V. invi­tes young artists to sub­mit works on the open topic “Untit­led: Pain­ting – sta­tus and per­spec­ti­ves”. How can pain­ting be con­tem­po­ra­ry despi­te the use of can­vas and frame? The winner’s work will be shown in autumn 2020 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 2020 is bound to the topic “Untit­led: Pain­ting – sta­tus and per­spec­ti­ves”. Plea­se sub­mit a pro­ject (expo­sé), which is to be rea­li­zed at Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le Essen in a solo exhi­bi­ti­on (ope­ning 09/10/2020). 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 2020 at Bau­stel­le Schau­stel­le Essen (ope­ning on 09/10/2020). 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 Düs­sel­dorf on 07/10/2020. 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.
