Open Call – An Institution is not an Island
‘An Institution is not an Island’ open call is an opportunity to question institutional, infrastructural, historical and spatial hierarchies at KASK & Conservatorium and collectively reflect on spaces as sites of resistance and transformation. The project will unfold as a series of site-specific artistic interventions, each responding to a different space at the school: a deanery meeting room, the corridors, the attic, the Cirque auditorium, and the gardens.
This open call encourages artists and collectives to intervene in KASK & Conservatorium’s spaces, much like how Henri Lefebvre suggests in ‘The Production of Space’ (1974) that urban space should be claimed by those who inhabit it. We aim to (re)activate these different spaces — either existing in the margins or occupying the center — in ways that are reflective of and critical toward their history, current use, and imagined future.
We welcome all artistic disciplines, including visual arts, audiovisual arts, drama and music. Proposals for events, happenings, workshops, other participatory works and public programming are also encouraged.
