Germany | Bewegter Wind Art Festival - call for artists' proposals

Wind Art Festival in Northern Hesse, Germany 16th – 30th Aug. 2020 on the theme of "Change ?!" Announcement of the 10th International Art Competition "bewegter wind" 2020 and international call for proposals. The climate is changing. Meteorologically, but also socially. We are looking for proposals that make change visible. There is a total prize money of 7,000 €.

The competition entries will be exhibited in especially interesting and picturesque places in Northern Hesse. The exhibition will be accompanied by a thematic programme that invites visitors to discover the exhibits and the landscape.

Theme of the competition "Change ?!". Wind is a symbol for change, movement and transformation. The climate is changing. Meteorologically, but also socially. Changes on a large or small scale - wanted, suffered, hated, longed for. Are we their victims, their cause...or both?

Threatening, but also future-oriented possibilities are opening up. Is apocalypse on the horizon, or rather a variety of possible solutions that shape the future. The future can be composed of small and large changes.

How are participatory experimental spaces created? Where does the fresh wind that moves us come from and when does it remain a gentle breeze? We are looking for proposals that illustrate change.

We look forward to your multifaceted ideas which contribute to the interpretation of this topic. Artistic answers in the form of wind objects, installations, performances and LandArt in its widest sense are asked for. Diversity and originality from all fields of art are welcome. The organizers will try to find possibilities of realization together with the artists even for the most unusual entries.
