In a world dominated by military conflicts, climate change, migration crisis, fake news, and political rearrangements, the digital ecosystem – in which AI is one among other major actors – plays a crucial role. We, volens nolens, increasingly identify ourselves with the machine, while we employ various strategies of resisting the artificial. Art is an important part of this process.

Deadline: Deadline 26 August 2024, 24 h (CET)
Call for entries

Open Call “Spin doctors”

Organized suppression of the climate crisis. Actors and their construction kit.

Exhibition in Berlin 11.10. – 22.11.2024, Tue. and Fri., 5-8 p.m.

In a public call for entries, we are inviting international artists to submit contributions for the theme described below: “Eye wiper. Organized repression of the climate crisis. Actors and their construction kit” for a group exhibition in our exhibition spaces.

Cognitive scientists have developed a toolkit called PLURV to help identify disinformation and propaganda in relation to the climate crisis: Pseudo-experts, logical errors, unfulfillable expectations, cherry-picking and conspiracy myths are all identifying features. Let’s expose PLURV!

One actor that promotes the suppression of the climate crisis is, for example, the Springer press. Their publishing house is largely owned by fossil fuel investors. The AFD and so-called “lateral thinkers” are also helping to suppress them. Narratives can be “It’s always been hot in summer”, “That’s a good thing!”, “Yes, just the weather”, “Fear-mongering and scaremongering”, “He who believes will be saved”, “Belief in man-made climate change is a substitute for religion?”.

In Germany, the CDU and FDP parties are conducting a textbook delaying discourse: they have no proposals. It’s really not about political ideologies, it’s about defending fossil business models.

Displacement leads to aggression against, for example, meteorologists on TV who receive hate messages. You only believe what you want to believe. Researchers talk about dissonant information being devalued and consonant information being valorized. The fact that humanity is in the process of destroying the foundations of human life with its way of life generates unpleasant emotions: Feelings of guilt, fears, sadness about the squandered future, the inevitable suffering and death. Cognitive dissonance, that is. Pseudo-information that suggests everything is not so bad can have a relieving effect.

Disciplines: object, sculpture, installation, photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, video with credits given, sound is possible. A performative contribution such as a performance, VJ or similar to the vernissage, artist talk or finissage is desired.

International works: letters and videos from non-EU countries.

We offer exhibition space with equipment, bar, advertising by mail and div. Websites and social media and web and print flyers, organization of the work texts, the lecture, the documentation.
We do not charge a fee for applications, exhibitions etc. We are a free, self-organized project space and work on a voluntary basis. For sent works, we ask that senders include the return postage. Unfortunately, there is no budget for production, further technical equipment, transport and insurance (the room is technically secured). We expect good cooperation and agree on rules of cooperation: https://gg3.eu/en/agreement-with-exhibiting-artists-2/

Individual artists or existing artist groups can apply online with max. apply for three works.

The presence of regional artists is desired for the vernissage and the artist talk, as is the supervision of the exhibition.

Deadline 26.8.2024, 24 h
Acceptance or cancellation until 5.9.
Set-up 10.10., 15-19 h
Vernissage 11.10., 19 h
Exhibition duration 11.10. – 22.11.2024

Open Call- “Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet”
Climate protection with displacement. Wash my fur, but don’t get me wet.

64th exhibition of GG3 3.5.2024 – 14.6.2024 Berlin
The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.
People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. One denies one’s own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People don’t want to see their own responsibility as voters for political parties and as consumers of flights, cars and goods who cause CO2‚ emissions. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.
The artworks in the gallery and front garden are intended to refer to the generic term “displacement of man-made global warming, outside to the displacement of specific problems of the locations:
1. park path at the Waldemar bridge: Cyclists and scooter riders displace the driving ban in the park
2. park path south of the lake: the greenery on the walls is being damaged for graffiti. The sprayers suppress the importance of the climbing greenery for people.
3rd, 4th sidewalks near the stairs into the park: Litter is dumped or thrown down. The actors suppress the fact that the litter usually disturbs pedestrians and residents.
5th lake: The lake is over-fertilized due to the prohibited feeding of aquatic animals. The feeders suppress the adverse effects on animals, water quality and the plants of the lake.
Plan of the exhibition
6. and 7. works to suppress man-made global warming.
Exhibition in the gallery and front garden: Tuesdays and Fridays 5-8 p.m., on the sidewalk, in the park and on the lake two days each 4-6 p.m.

Call for entries

Open Call
Supergau is an imaginary landscape, a culturally primaeval landscape!
Supergau is temporarily limited and, during the festival, superimposes itself like a second layer over the existing topography of one of each of the five Gaue (regions) of Salzburg (Flachgau, Lungau, Pinzgau, Pongau, Tennengau)
https://www.supergau.org/

What is Supergau?
Supergau is freed from the supposed dominance of the city with its programmed cultural spaces, freed from municipal museums, theatres, cabaret stages, that need to be filled by a target audience. Freed from the concept of the public space because Supergau knows only landscape.
Supergau is surface and depth at the same time. Supergau has forest- and meadowscapes, mountainscapes, housescapes, asphalt- and concretescapes. All these and other landscapes can become a stage at Supergau, an artistic field of action. Supergau is a festival that takes place exclusively outdoors.

The biennial festival celebrated its premiere in Flachgau in 2021 and transformed Lungau into a Supergau for contemporary arts in 2023. The festival will continue in Pinzgau in 2025.

Supergau invites artists to take their time for the festival and therefore enables residencies in advance that offer the opportunity to work on site, conduct research and engage in dialogue. The entire creation process, the development of a Supergau dramaturgy and the joint development of content with the participants is an essential part of the festival. This Open Call marks the beginning of the Supergau, which will culminate in the ten-day festival for contemporary arts in late May/early June 2025.

What are we looking for?
– Artistic contributions outdoors
– Artists from various disciplines who will join us in exploring the question
of what the countryside can do as an art- and as production-space,
what the city cannot do and what new forms of encounter and dialogue
we can create here
– Artists engaged with the questions, problems and potentials of this
region
– Spatial art that can cover entire meadows, forests, lakes, squares or
motorways, for example
– Cross-disciplinary works that enter into collaborations with visitors,
residents, local initiatives or associations
Mixed teams with participants from fields other than art are possible (e.g.
from science, agriculture, health, education, crafts).
1 The province of Salzburg is divided into five political districts and one statutory city, the City of Salzburg. The districts are still commonly referred to as Gaue (as landscape areas). for contemporary arts

Locations
The third edition will transform Pinzgau into a Supergau for contemporary art. With its 2,641sqm, Pinzgau is the largest district in the province of Salzburg. The festival therefore focusses on the region between Krimml and Zell am See. The following towns are located in this area: Wald im Pinzgau, Neukirchen am Großvenediger, Bramberg, Hollersbach, Mittersill, Stuhlfelden, Uttendorf, Niedernsill, Kaprun and Piesendorf.
A connecting element is the Salzach river, which originates in Vorderkrimml and runs through all the villages in the upper Salzach valley. The Kitzbühel Alps in the north and the Hohe Tauern in the south (highest mountain:
Großvenediger, 3,657m) characterise not only the landscape, but also local life. It is a difficult balancing act between ecological protection and economic utilisation of the impressive natural area, large part of which is legally protected as the Hohe Tauern National Park. This makes it necessary for the submissions to deal with possible limitations and restrictions due to nature conservation.
The approximately 40,000 people in this select region live on just under 1000sqkm. Zell am See, with around 10,000 inhabitants, is the district capi tal of the Pinzgau. Primary economic sectors are tourism and agriculture.
As in many rural regions, the issue of emigration, land use and development, second homes and the effects of climate change on local life and (ski-)tourism also play a role here.
High water and flooding in the villages between Krimml with its waterfalls and Zell am See have led to an increase in protective measures, which are currently being worked on.
Even people from Salzburg often don‘t realise that the Pinzgau region has a natural border with Italy. This arduous passage over the Krimmler Tauern was one of the escape routes for Jewish travellers to Italy in 1947 to escape the persistent anti-Jewish climate and set off for Palestine via Trieste.
As in most rural regions of Austria, the local brass bands and folk cultural organisations are firmly anchored in the culture. But there is also room for regional museums and initiatives with venues for contemporary art and culture.

APPLICATION DOCUMENTS
The remuneration will be processed in the form of a grant from the province of Salzburg.
All required documents must be sent as a single PDF file to kultur-wissenschaft@salzburg.gv.at
by Sunday, 12 February 2024, 23:59 at the latest.

The required PDF with a maximum number of eight pages and a maximum file size of 10 MB must contain the following information:

– Short outline of the project (max. five sentences explaining the essence of the project. The short description is for publication on the Supergau
website)

Remuneration
The total budget for the Open Call is 220,000 euros. Together with a jury
of experts, the artistic director selects projects that can apply within two
categories:
A. up to € 15.000,–
B. up to € 30.000,–

These two categories are purely indicative and say nothing about the quality and importance of the individual artworks. The categories play no evaluative role whatsoever in the programming, supervision and realisation and are not mentioned even after the judging.
The lump sums stated above must include fees, production and performance costs as well as travelling expenses. These amounts are gross amounts. It is expressly pointed out that the province of Salzburg, as the organiser, attaches great importance to „fair pay“ (www.fairpaykultur.att) and that the calculations are explicitly assessed in this respect. Fair, ade quate remuneration for all participants is one of the selection criteria.
Supergau provides accommodation and meals for a maximum of 2 people per collective / group during the residencies and invites all participating artists to stay overnight in Pinzgau for the entire festival period (in May/ June 2025) (flat-rate accommodation allowance per group).
Applicants are welcome to bring in additional funding from outside sources to support their proposal. The application is open to individuals, groups, or ensembles at any stage of their career.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
Supergau offers further support during the preparation and duration of the festival as well as professional marketing and press work.

Supergau will take place at the end of May 2025. The preparation period begins with the official announcement of all participants from the Open Call in May 2024.
