ART AWARD 2019: „Photography in Motion“
Deadline: March 24, 2019
In this year, the 10th open call of the Art Prize of Baustelle Schaustelle invites young artists to submit works on the open topic “Photography in Motion”. The winner´s work will be shown in autumn 2019 in a solo exhibition at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen. In addition, the winner will present his / her work in form of a lecture in our series ZU GAST at Baustelle Schaustelle Düsseldorf.
We are pleased that Thomas Seelig, Director of the photographic collection at Museum Folkwang, this year was interested to specify the topic. “Photography in Motion” gives the artists the opportunity to choose their medium from the wide range of working with “Photo”.
IDEA
The Art Prize 2019 is bound to the topic “Photography in Motion”. Please submit a project (Exposé), which is to be realized at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen in a solo exhibition (opening 27/09/2019). From the exposé, the development of the own artistic work should emerge clearly.
Room layout can be seen on our website www.baustelle-schaustelle.de/kunstpreis17
CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION
Artists up until the age of 35 are welcome to apply. The winner commits him-/herself to do an exhibition in fall of 2018 at Baustelle Schaustelle Essen. At the opening (27/ 09/2019) there will be an introductory speech or artist talk which the artists are obligated to organize. The winner will also introduce his/her work further by doing a talk, performance (or other forms) in our series “ZU GAST” at BauSchau Düsseldorf, Birkenstraße 61 (Date: 24/09/2019).
BAUSTELLE SCHAUSTELLE
The project space Baustelle Schaustelle is a venue for young contemporary art. Since fall 2007 it has been exhibiting works by young artists from all over Germany, Europe and the USA on a regular basis. The showroom in Brigittastraße, Essen which was initially intended as a temporary experimental platform, has become established as a permanent exhibition venue. Since its first open call in 2010 the art award already received a great amount of positive feedback from both artists as well as the media. The subject of the art awards varies from year to year: last year’s theme was “space”. In September 2017 Baustelle Schaustelle opened a second space in Düsseldorf, Birkenstraße 61, where talks, lectures and performances take place.
