OPEN CALL 2022: The Palace Is Vacant.

The doors are open to tell new and old stories, to realize ideas and to dream dreams. What’s the significance of splendor in times of emptiness? Destroy it all, tear it down to build anew, simply abide, move in, or rearrange it after all? Who or what is to reside here, what should be kept, what has to go?

Be it a baroque oil painting or graffiti, marble sculpture or assemblage, chandelier or laser show, Line Dance or a modern expressive one, lyric poetry or factual report: We cordially invite artists of all genres – regardless of degrees, education, vita, background or gender – to submit their idea and apply for our 2022 annual topic “The Palace Is Vacant” until 13 June 2021. Group applications are also welcome.

Attention: We reserve the right to curate individual submissions as a group show if we find them thematically appropriate.
Please keep in mind that our gallery is not that big. Info on room dimensions can be found at our website and upon request via email. Furthermore, we are located in a residential building, therefore, we cannot host concerts or other productions that exceed a normal noise level in the room. Sorry!

WHAT SHOULD THE APPLICATION LOOK LIKE?

The application should be written in German or English and please be sure to send it to us as one PDF file by e-mail! Max. 5MB in size and structured as follows:
