call: bb15 art space Linz/Austria – FRICTION
Deadline: 20 December 2022
Call for entries
bb15 art space – FRICTION
Residency and exhibition
Location: bb15 art space, Linz, Austria
Duration: 10 to 14 days – Spring 2023, Autumn 2023 or early 2024
bb15 art space is seeking proposals for its 2023-2024 program around the open-ended theme of friction. Friction is against sameness, the continuum, the immediate. An emerging friction defeats expectations, questions the agreement and is itchy. Frictioning implies resistance, going against a certain motion. bb15 is looking for projects that bring tension, distortion and counter-current into the flow of things.
bb15 is hosting a program of exhibitions, performances, screenings, talks and happenings. We are open to original propositions that are site-specific, closely or loosely related to sound and engaging with the theme of the open call.
Conditions:
Installation/production residency for up to two weeks. bb15 can facilitate a few days more in case the artist(s) want to make specific research in Linz. The exhibition duration is 14 days.
Conditions: 800€ artist fee (also for collectives). Travel fees within Europe will be additionally covered. Artists will be provided with free accommodation in Linz. They will work within bb15 premises. Production material up to 200€ is covered with receipts. No application fees!
Possible periods: Spring 2023, Autumn 2023 or early 2024
bb15 will provide technical and curatorial support. We expect that the artist is able to work independently and has a clear plan for the implementation of their proposal, with production developed prior to the residency.
bb15 will take care of the promotion of the exhibition.
bb15 will give access to its technical equipment (projectors, speakers, media players, etc)
We are looking for respectful, inclusive and thoughtful collaborations.Â
bb15 favors train and bus trips over other means of transportation.
