CALL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FESTIVAL TODAY IS 2030CALL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FESTIVAL TODAY IS 2030 The 2nd edition of the Festival ‘Today is 2030’ proposes an international call for emerging artists to participate under the subtitle ‘Loving arts’. The aim of this festival is to delve deeper into the concept of love as possibility, attitude and form of resistance; acting as a force that generates links and alternative models to conceive social relationships that go beyond the mechanisms of power. The present mood is that the positive outlook for the future has been compromised by a widespread trend of imbalance between overabundance and scarcity. Humanity reveals itself as a main destructive agent in a dramatic encounter between natural history and the history of mankind. We face, without a doubt, a new awareness of heartbreak. The festival proposes to mobilize different aesthetic vocabularies to interrogate the love event, and its relationship with the transformation of society and that of the Earth. Can we talk about love as a driving force for acts of courage and transgression to inhabit the planet in another way and, why not, eroticize it? ‘Loving arts’ is a call to thought and artistic creation: imagine waking up on an ordinary day, in the middle of 2030. You look around and you make a work of artistic creation inspired by other forms of love speech. The goal is to prove or prove wrong that a planetary democratic project is possible.
TERMS OF THE CALL The initiative consists of a physical exhibition that will take place in Storm And Drunk (SAD) by the end of November 2019. Additionally, some of the proposals may be developed in other spaces that host the festival, such as the Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) in Madrid, and others, depending on the proposal. It is also possible to participate in a virtual exhibition which will take place from December 2nd on the website: hoyes2030.love, as well as in the social networks of the project.
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS Participants may be natural persons or artistic groups of a maximum of three people, of any nationality or place of residence. They must be over 18 years of age, and they must also show proof of having devoted themselves to studies, artistic or creative works in any discipline of contemporary art for at least two years.
Participants may submit original works of a multidisciplinary nature (painting, sculpture, photography, video, writing, music, texts, short format presentations, performances, papers...). Works have to relate to the theme of the current edition of the festival ‘Today is 2030. Loving arts’.
The organizers are committed to transfer the selected works that will take part in the physical exhibition of the festival venues. They will take care of the collection, transportation and return of the pieces. The works are insured by the organizers. There is a payment of 280 euros to cover fees.
SUBMISSION OF THE PROPOSAL
Participants may submit a maximum of 3 proposals, including series made of no more than 6 works. Proposals must be accompanied by a brief explanation of the work or series in free format. They must also include a short biography of the author or collective, or a résumé, as well as the name, nationality, email address of the author or group and contact phone number. Proposals will be sent to the email address love [op] hoyes2030 [punt] love indicating if the work or series is presented to both the physical and virtual exhibitions, or to the physical display only.
For any questions related to the call feel free to write an email to hola [op] hoyes2030 [punt] love

OPEN CALL // CALL FOR ENTRIESyour favorite PUB. in town is looking for entries
PUB. comes into being for the second time this year. The artistic concept/room/publication installation by Anna Weberberger and Valerie Bachschwöll is going to seek shelter in an art space situated in Linz, Upper Austria from December to January. Therefore it is looking for self-published works (zines, soft-/hardcover books, magazines, experimental forms…) that are of artistic and not commercial nature. The key subject of PUB. is „exhibiting vs. publishing“ while also creating a platform for young artists to showcase their self-published work. PUB. plays with the in- and outside, reality and fiction and the recipients expectations. Room, atmosphere and any outwards communication tell nothing about PUB.’s actual content.
Applicants should send an email with the following content (max. 2 MB) to: pub [punt] lications [op] hotmail [punt] com including: – short description of the publication including pictures
Postage will most probably be taken over.

Call For Artists - Berlin
CALL FOR ARTISTS
As a response to Institut für Alles Mögliche, Take Place I fills the 20 square meter gallery space with artists. Presented through the window wall towards the street, the work consists of live encounters between people, while the material is the artists or the artists’ presence. During the gallery’s opening hour, street passengers and visitors are welcome to come into the gallery. Once they enter the gallery, the audiences become parts of the work. With artists standing, sitting and chatting in the space, the work erases the difference between the artists and visitors. It exists as a performance, an interaction, and an immaterial experience.
In Take Place ⅠⅠ, a group of artists sitting on three rows of stadium seats inside the gallery facing the window, staring towards the street through the entire opening hours. Rather than being observed, the work is observing whatever is happening outside the gallery and creating an unfamiliar situation for both the artists and the viewers. And the work itself is held in the moments of these encounters. Through these encounters, the work challenges the viewers’ as well as the artists’ roles and participations in a work and in an exhibition, blurring the lines between the making, presenting, and experiencing of an art piece.
Exhibition dates: Opening, 7-9 pm, Dec 11th 2019 (Take Place Ⅰ) . Exhibition, 12-6 pm, Take Place Ⅰ on Dec 12th - 13th. Take Place ⅠI on Dec 14th - 15th. The participation requires 2 hours from an artist each day. All participating artists will be credited (this project is not funded) —— Ming Lu 10 Oct 2019
The Institut für Alles Mögliche is an artistic project that sets about questioning, scrutinising and probing the institutionalisation and presentation of contemporary art. The central concept is to develop spaces of possibility in which exchange and experiences can take place. The project can be understood as an organism, as an artistic attempt to find niches and to implant a non-commercial program into the commercial structure of the municipal sphere.
A note to all artists: there are no requirements for which media you normally work on because the medium of this project is your presence in the space. There are no physical works showing in the gallery and it is not a ‘traditional exhibition’ in general sense. It is a project conducted by 150 artists who are convinced by the concept, and the project belongs to all of us. Due to the large number of the artists and the limitation of the space, it is not possible to do things that are not related to this project. Although some artists proposed very exciting works, but are not related and can’t fit into this specific concept. If you want to do something different please propose directly to Institut für Alles Mögliche. email: ming.lu [at] network.rca.ac.uk website: |
