REAKTOR Potenziale

The REAKTOR’s cross-disciplinary programme features works that are imbued with the spirit of the times. Indeed, what is still considered experimental today may well one day be perceived as timelessly permanent. That is particularly true of contemporary art. The REAKTOR’s call for concepts is designed to seek out that very potential in the visual arts, hence the title Potenziale. Particular emphasis is to be placed on space-defining art for the REAKTOR’s architectural core, i.e. its main hall.

Selection criteria:

• Art experience | The Open Call is looking for works that address the topic of reason and emotion.
• A balance between conceptual depth and material precision | Previously completed works featured in the portfolio will be taken into consideration when assessing the submission.
• Preference will be given to objects and/or concepts that make full use of the main hall’s sizeable volume.
• Site specificity | Optionally a dialogue is to be sought with the genius loci (in terms of architecture and/or content).
• Feasibility | Budget, public safety
