Open Call 2023

Joy & Revolution

Joy & Revolution invites applications from artists, curators, programmers, and arts & tech gurus to the third edition of Open Call JOY & Revolution.

We all have different levels of identities and local backgrounds, but art and technical language remain universal.

Joy and revolution are two very different concepts, but they can be related in some ways. One way, joy and revolution can be driven by a desire for change and a belief in the possibility of different words or personal utopia.

With this open call, you can show us your Joy & Revolution.

Joy & Revolution

Joy & Revolution lädt Künstler, Kuratoren, Gemeinschaften, Programmierer und Kunst- und Technikgurus ein, sich für die dritte Ausgabe des Open Call JOY & Revolution zu bewerben.

Wir alle haben unterschiedliche Identitäten und lokale Hintergründe, aber Kunst und technische Sprache bleiben universell. Joy und Revolution sind zwei sehr unterschiedliche Konzepte, aber sie können in gewisser Weise miteinander verbunden sein. Einerseits können Freude und Revolution durch den Wunsch nach Veränderung und den Glauben an die Möglichkeit einer anderen Sprache oder einer persönlichen Utopie angetrieben werden.

Mit diesem offenen Aufruf können Sie uns Ihre Joy & Revolution zeigen.

IT MAY SOUND UTOPIAN

OPEN CALL Exhibition-Relay 2021

Solo Exhibition & Curatorial Project

This program is designed to support the artists, curators and creative individuals

to fight back against the COVID-19 disaster.

Think about the alarming crises in the world. The spreading pandemic, racism and discrimination, growing far-right propaganda, international terrorism, and climate change are to name a few of the perceived threats to our existence. Some people are paralyzed by uncertainty in this unpredictable time, and yes, we are also confronted with severe socio-economic problems. In addition, this unexpected crisis has unfortunately accelerated the rate of restrictions on civil liberties and mass surveillance methods have uninterruptedly risen.

Even if it may sound utopian, we are forced to think about new models of “how we live” in these perilous times. The image of “Utopia” maybe a romantic and unrealistic concept but it is an urgent one as we try to revise our current problems.

Under the title ‘It may sound utopian’, DISKURS Berlin launches the second round of the Exhibition-Relay in 2021 to attract, select, and provide an opportunity to artists, curators, and creative individuals.

In the first Exhibition-Relay 2020, 16 artists and 2 guest curators were chosen and created 11 exhibitions which received attention from the public and the press. For the past program please visit

www.discursus.info/exhibition/past/exhibition-relay-2020-solidarity-fightback-sungoesup/.

With the second round of the Exhibition-Relay in 2021, we encourage creative thinkers to create personal utopias in this unpredictable and vulnerable world.

This project is specifically designed to be viewed through the windows of DISKURS Berlin as our doors remain closed. With the exhibitions changing every two weeks, this fast-paced exhibition program aims to support the art scene to fight back against the COVID-19 crisis.
