Dear all,

can someone please post our open call? Thanks in advance.

We have started an open call and are inviting artists to send us
artworks that deal with the actual phenomenon of social distancing.
We want to set an example in times of the covid-19 crisis and general
curfew and promote the creativity of those who sit at home and do
not know what to do with themselves. We call on artists to send us
a work dealing with the new phenomenon of social distancing. We are
currently facing involuntary quarantine and isolation. From one day to
the next, you can no longer live as you have always been used to. What
does it do to humans? What happens to public space without the usual
dynamic? How does this dynamic shift into private, at home? How does
it change interpersonal relationships when social distancing becomes
everyday life? Do we currently live in longdistance relationships? Is
the journey currently going inwards? And what comes after this general
isolation phase?

We call on artists, but also everyone else who deals with these
questions, to send us an artwork. All contributions are first uploaded
to a specially created website and made accessible to everyone on
the Internet. Artists participating in our festival can benefit
from a large existing network and publishing. We are aware that the
movement of social distancing art is still in its infancy. At the
same time we would like later to present the selected works of art as
documentation, of the present „unimagined= “ time.
Without a doubt, the website alongside its contributions will last for
weeks, months and years and gain relevance as a historical statement.
At a later date we would like to present the works of art, selected by
our team in our gallery - Arrival Room in Saarbrücken/Germany.
A separate exhib= ition will be organized under the name of Social
Distancing Art Festival - SODA.

All entries please send to : arrivalroom at gmail.com

No fees ever attached!
