Call for participation

The title refers to an exhibition that intends to bring together many 
different artistic / political positions, concepts and objects.

All interested artists are invited to participate by sending their concepts 
to Hamburg. A panel of artists and critics will review the concepts sent and 
decide which projects may be realized. Those invited will be assisted 
financially in the realization of their works.

We are looking for aesthetic positions that discuss or have a critical look 
at the private, social and political realities we have created for 
ourselves, realities people live, fight and die for. We are looking for 
projects that question the usual, that pick on things often left unseen, 
that irritate our sense of being bogged down in unchangeable situations.

The exhibition will be divided into six zones, which compose the structure 
of the show. Artists may choose to orient themselves around the following 
loose themes:

* control
security / insecurity

* news services
disinformations

* everyday life
unexpectedness

* border politics
walking the tightrope

* government power
law, discipline, repression

* science fiction and economy
the administration of the future


Artistic media is open: performance, operations with existing realities, 
working models on the interface between art institutions and the public 
realm, multimedia artworks.
