Shedhalle Tübingen e.V. is a contemporary art forum in the university town Tübingen, located on the former area of the town's slaughterhouse. The association Shedhalle provides an arena for the presentation, development and creation of contemporary art.
Exhibition place
The Shedhalle is situated close to main university buildings and is within easy reach of Tübingen town centre. The large and bright exhibition hall provides around 1000sqm exhibition space and can be partitioned by flexible room dividers; therefore different conceptions of space are possible.
Subject: sense no sense
The call for proposals is open to artists whose creative work reflects or questions themes and aspects of human perception and its processing.
Possible topics and themes include
- Contextualizing, constructing and making sense of what is perceived on an individual scale as well as on the level of society
- Questions of producing and maintaining meaning and symbolic order
- The challenge of the perceiving subject and its sense of self
- The explicitly artistic conception as it relates to everyday or scientific perception
- Trying to uncover unconscious processes of perception
- Asking the artist himself for his impulse and drive to shape meaning and form, and how he stays within individual disciplines or moves beyond them
- Boundaries between figurativeness and abstraction
- semantic complexity and phenomena of multistable perception
- stimulus satiation and vacuity of information, ambiguity and uncircumventability, delusion and vision, utopia and hallucination
Participation
The open call is directed to visual and performing artists. You have to consider that the hall is not a clean white cube. The local conditions (no air conditioning, possibly high air moisture) have to be taken into account.
Additional programme
During the exhibition additional events are intended. Proposals for performances, concerts, lectures, workshops, etc. are highly welcome.
