Dear colleagues, Dear students,
OPEN CALL EXTENDED UNTIL 17.7.2023, 11 h!
we know that the end of the semester is always stressful for everyone. Therefore we have decided to extend the Open Call until the 17.7.2023, 11 h.
We cordially invite you to submit your works addressing the topic of my reality is not your reality for the third group exhibition at Exhibit Studio. The opening of this exhibition will be on the 7th of September. Please upload your work via calls.akbild.ac.athttps://calls.akbild.ac.at/calls/ExSR23/
The third exhibition will be a continuation of the previous two. Spinning the story about the life of young artists, we invite artists to submit their finished work that explores the intersection of reality and mental health. We are interested in art that delves into the inner emotional states, coping mechanisms, and challenges faced by artists in their journey to navigate the world around them.
After significant projects and moments of indulgence, devastation often comes – not only physical, but also emotional (burnout&hangover). It is overlapped with the routine of ordinary life, various psychological traumas, and the art market’s constant pressure on the ongoing production of art. We encourage artists to share their unique perspectives, shedding light on the diverse ways they deal with the realities they encounter.
How do you, as an artist, navigate reality? Do you find solace in obsessive work or intentional pauses? Does isolation or immersion in vibrant social scenes help shape your artistic practice? How does your art become a vehicle for escapism, allowing you to explore other dimensions of reality? How can art re-sort the concept of reality?
The Academy’s Exhibit Studio is the exhibition space for students and run by students. It is located in the Academy building at Schillerplatz on the 1st floor. This academical year it is coordinated and curated by Olga Shapovalova and Christian Azzouni. Both are studying at the Academy and work at the Contemporary Exhibitions Office.
We are very much looking forward to see your submissions!
Best,
Exhibit Studio c+o
