“I know no weekend”. Socially Committed Art in Eastern Europe
Call for Art Students
Application Deadline: 31 January 2012
Application Deadline: 31 January 2012
Joseph Beuys (1921 – 1986, Germany) is now considered as one of the most influential artists of the 21st
Century, though or because his work produced controversial debates
about contemporary art and the socio-political commitment of artists in
the 1970s and 1980s. Today his approach seems more relevant than ever.
Young art students from Banja Luka, Brno, Kosice, Novi Sad, Pécs and
Wroclaw are invited to deal with the validity of Beuys’ artistic
approaches to today’s society, to develop new art works, interventions
and performances that deal critically with Beuys’ ideas and/or that are
influenced by them. They are encouraged to
deal artistically with current social and political issues and their
interrelation.
Altogether 6 students, one from each city, will be chosen and get
the possibility to realize their project ideas and to get in touch with
the local art scene in Pécs. The students will be awarded with a fee
(300 Euro per person). Travel and accommodation costs will be covered
by the organizers, as well as an allowance for production and material
costs.
“I know no weekend” is supported by ERSTE Foundation, Goethe-Institut and Robert Bosch Stiftung.
