–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Our first exhibition explores our bodies as agents: as (mis)carriers of information, meaning and experiences. We are looking for works that inquire the body in relation to its past and to its inside/outside. 

In which ways do individual experiences condition a body when interacting with another? 

How do our bodies (mis)communicate? 
How do our bodies send, receive, process?
How do our bodies sense, make (no) sense? 
What is tension, what does it connote?

Which bodies are allowed to communicate?
How is a body able to communicate? 
If language itself drives power and culture, is there such a thing as a body before/after culture? 

How does our language change? How do we change if we don’t sense each other’s bodies anymore while interacting? 
What is the role of a body in an almost post-immersive world? 
Can we be someone else if we are invisible?

Can we be truly invisible?
Can we be truly silent?

SUBMISSION INFO

The submission should be uploaded as one PDF-file (max. 10 MB) on the call platform of the academy of fine arts: https://calls.akbild.ac.at  
The file name needs to include the name of the submitting person. The file should include:

  • Texts/Photos/Videos of the work
  • Written project statement (optional)
eg. description, context information, poem, essay, as you see fit (max. 1 A4 page)

OR voicemail (optional)
Since not everyone feels equally safe with written text, you can instead also record a voicemail (in English, Spanish, German, Italian or French) which you can link to in the document, describing your project in any way you feel comfortable with.

  • CV (optional) (max. 1 A4 page)
  • Portfolio (optional)

WHAT CAN BE SUBMITTED

Works of any medium can be submitted.
We would like to accompany the exhibition with a small publication, so we encourage the submission of graphic and text-based works for this as well.
If you have suggestions for a supporting program (eg. group practices, discussion panels, workshops, etc.), please contact us here: exhibitstudio@akbild.ac.at 

WHO CAN SUBMIT

Students of all departments of the academy of fine arts can submit their works.
We encourage everyone to submit their work regardless of previous successes or advancement in their studies.
