Call for proposals for an exhibition participation”…vs. early work”

Künstlerhaus Dortmund e.V. has been run by artists since 1983 as a self-organized studio and exhibition space for contemporary and experimental art. The exhibition project “…vs. early work” deals with the individual (stylistic) development of artists. To this end, the group exhibition will juxtapose one current work and one early work for each artistic position. Such positions are being sought through this advertisement.
As the term “early work” can always be defined slightly differently, a time difference of at least 10 years was set as the simplest criterion. In this case, very young artists would have to fall back on the treasures of their youth, while older artists could also present stylistic changes in the middle of their careers. There are no restrictions regarding the media and content of the artworks. There is a pool of presentation technology for digital media in the building.
