Is the artistic space you create a place for exchange and
communication?
Is your art practice socially engaged?
Are you investigating
interconnectedness and sociopolitical
agency in your work?
If some of these questions
relate to you, we look forward to hearing from you!
In cooperation with APL – Angewandte Performance
Laboratory, HUFAK – Student union of the Angewandte (ÖH) and the INTRA research project “Archives in Practice” we look for
individual or group student projects that engage with transdisciplinary, socially engaged art practices.
The
selected projects will be accompanied by mentors and peer feedback over the course of the upcoming summer semester 2023, with
a core phase in May/June at the APL Angewandte. The aim of the pilot project is to offer you a welcoming and safe framework
that enables you to carry out independent, artistic work across institutes – from the conception of ideas to applied practice
– all in the summer semester 2023.
