Anonymous Drawings

Berlin Exhibition Call for Drawings Post date 26/09/2026 How does our perception change when we know nothing about the artist behind a work? How do we determine the value of a drawing when every work is offered at the same price? Where is the boundary between art and non-art? “Anonymous Drawings” is an exhibition project that puts these questions into practice. The exhibition at “ZAK – Zentrum für Aktuelle Kunst” in Berlin, Germany will feature around 600 drawings by 600 international artists, without revealing their names or the titles of the works. Every drawing is offered at a symbolic fixed price of €250. Of this amount, €200 goes directly to the artist, while the remainder helps fund future open calls and exhibitions. The fixed price does not reflect the market value of the work. Instead, it functions as a conceptual placeholder for any price imaginable within the art market. It symbolizes the possibility of art existing beyond economic hierarchies. Anonymity is maintained until a work is sold. Once sold, the drawing is removed from the wall, and the empty space is filled with the artist’s name and place of origin. Each exhibition is preceded by an international open call. There are no thematic requirements; the only limitation is a maximum format of A3 (29.7 x 42 cm). Biographical information is not requested. Selection is based solely on anonymized digital images. Only selected artists are asked to send their original drawings to Berlin. “Anonymous Drawings” is both a conceptual artwork and an exhibition platform: a collective artwork without hierarchies that continually rethinks the relationship between art, the market, and the public. Participation is free and open to everyone. deadline: 27-Sep-2026 more info: https://www.anonyme-zeichner.de/en/call-for-submissions/

Members of the Contemporary Performance Network also receive Strategy Coach Notes, an in-depth guide that examines the application from the reviewer’s perspective. For Tokyo Biennale 2027 Social Dive, the notes analyze the theme, project structure, site-responsive expectations, residency model, application questions, evaluation criteria, community engagement requirements, budget, timeline, and documentation strategy. The guide explains how reviewers are likely to assess proposals and shows how to build a project that responds to Tokyo as a place of research, collaboration, and public exchange rather than simply as a presentation venue. About the Tokyo Biennale 2027 Tokyo Biennale has developed Social Dive as a long-term model for creating new work through sustained engagement with the city. The 2027 edition centers on the theme “From ‘Me’ to ‘Us'”, encouraging artists to move beyond individual expression toward projects that cultivate dialogue, collaboration, shared memory, and public participation. Rather than commissioning finished works, the Biennale seeks proposals that evolve through research and interaction with the people, histories, and social conditions of Tokyo. Projects may take many forms, including performances, exhibitions, workshops, tours, participatory projects, moving image works, research initiatives, or curatorial programs. Every proposal must be capable of being presented publicly during Tokyo Biennale 2027 while remaining flexible enough to adapt through conversations with the Biennale team, local organizations, residents, and project partners. The residency operates across eleven project sites that reflect different aspects of Tokyo. These range from historic temples and traditional alleyways to business districts, entertainment venues, transportation hubs, wholesale districts, and Akihabara Electric Town. Applicants do not select a final venue independently. The project site, presentation format, residency structure, and implementation plan are determined through consultation following selection. Community collaboration is central to the program. Applicants should expect ongoing dialogue with residents, businesses, researchers, cultural organizations, educational institutions, and local stakeholders throughout the research and production process. Documentation, public programming, and participation in Biennale communications are also expected as part of the residency. What Is Offered - Round-trip travel support up to 300,000 JPY - Accommodation in Tokyo - Project development support up to 200,000 JPY - Honorarium of 100,000 JPY - Venue coordination - Interpretation support - Translation support - Invitation letter - Residency-based research and production - Presentation during Tokyo Biennale 2027 Who Should Apply This opportunity is particularly well suited for artists whose practice develops through research, public engagement, collaboration, and place-based inquiry. Strong proposals will demonstrate how a project can emerge through sustained interaction with Tokyo rather than arriving as a completed artwork. Artists working across performance, installation, socially engaged practice, interdisciplinary research, participatory projects, curatorial practice, moving image, architecture, urban studies, sound, and community-based work are encouraged to consider the residency. Applicants should also be comfortable working collaboratively with institutions and local partners while remaining flexible throughout the production process. Tokyo Biennale 2027 Timeline - Application Opens: July 17, 2026 - Application Deadline: September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM JST - Selected applicants participate in residency-based research and production before Tokyo Biennale 2027. - Final residency schedule is determined with the Secretariat. Why The Tokyo Biennale 2027 Matters Many international residencies support artists after a project has already been defined. Social Dive takes a different approach by supporting projects that emerge through direct engagement with place, community, and shared inquiry. Reviewers are looking for proposals that can grow through dialogue and collaboration while remaining operationally realistic within complex public settings. For artists interested in socially engaged practice, public space, participatory performance, and interdisciplinary research, this residency offers significant institutional support alongside an opportunity to contribute to one of Japan’s leading contemporary art events.

Ricklundgården

Winter in the Swedish mountains Deadline: 30 Sep 2026 Country: Sweden Ricklundgårdens artist residency welcomes artists from all disciplines, offering a space to slow down, reflect, and create.

Tokyo Biennale 2027

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS / CURATORS! TOKYO BIENNANE 2027 “SOCIAL DIVE” To dive into Tokyo(the city) and engage deeply with society(people). Deadline: 30 Sep 2026 Country: Japan Art Project Creating Ten Sites for Cross-Border Encounters and Dialogue “Social Dive” is an art project in which artists immerse themselves in various neighborhoods across Tokyo to discover both the unique traditions held by local residents and the new values emerging there. For Tokyo Biennale 2027, we are undertaking the co-creation of spaces for cross-border encounters and dialogue, addressing the theme: “From ‘Me’ to ‘Us’.” To solicit proposals from around the world for this initiative, we are launching the Social Dive Open Call. The designated project sites encompass ten diverse locations that shape the character of Tokyo: a historic temple in the city center, a cutting-edge business district, a traditional neighborhood alley, a rare surviving small-scale wooden building, a bustling train station, and an entertainment venue. These are locations where the Tokyo Biennale has previously engaged in projects. Realizing art projects in such settings inevitably involves navigating various regulations, rules, technical requirements, and budgetary constraints. We invite proposals from artists and curators who are ready to overcome these challenges alongside us and bring these projects to fruition. The theme of Tokyo Biennale 2027: “From ‘Me’ to ‘Us’.” Today, the world is in an age of conflict and division. To avoid repeating the memories of war, violence, and exclusion, we must reexamine the wisdom and cultural resources that have been passed down across generations. Tokyo is a city that carries the memories of neighborhoods dating back to the Edo period. It has twice suffered great loss — through the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Second World War — and each time it was rebuilt through the strength of its citizens. At the same time, Tokyo is an international city where diverse people from around the world gather, and where different languages, memories, beliefs, wounds, and hopes intersect. Kenzaburō Ōe wrote: “I cannot live my life over again. But we can live our lives over again.”* One single “me” may not be able to build the future, or overcome the anxieties and divisions of the world. Yet when “me” encounters others and reconnects relationships, a new consciousness of “us” begins to emerge. It is there that the possibility of living anew can be found. Art projects engage with society as a form of cultural prescription, reconnecting people with people, people with places, and people with memories. When individual creativity and the creativity accumulated within the city resonate across time, a new creativity of “us” is born. Tokyo Biennale 2027 will open up the foundational cultures that lie within Tokyo, passing memories of the past on to the future, and becoming a place of practice for living anew not as “me,” but as “us,” in an age of division. Masato Nakamura General Producer, Tokyo Biennale 2027 Duration of residency The duration of the residency will be determined according to the artist’s preference. Accommodation Accommodation in Tokyo Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Application Guidelines Eligibility： Open to artists, curators, researchers, collectives, and practitioners in related fields active both in Japan and abroad. Applications are accepted for both artwork production by artists and art project proposals by curators. Applications may be submitted by individuals or groups. Groups must designate a single representative. Applicants must be at least 18 years old at the time of application. There are no restrictions regarding nationality, place of residence, or base of operations. Applicants must be able to participate in research, residency-based production, collaboration with relevant parties, and the presentation of outcomes in Tokyo. Eligible Art Projects： We are inviting proposals for art projects or artist-in-residence production plans for the 11 designated locations. Eligible projects are not merely exhibitions of existing works but must be developed through research, residency-based production, and engagement with people in Tokyo. A wide range of formats is accepted, including artwork creation, exhibitions, performances, video works, tours, workshops, participatory projects, research projects, and curatorial projects. Proposed art projects must be capable of being presented or exhibited in some form during the Tokyo Biennale 2027. Each applicant may submit only one project proposal. Relevance to the theme "From 'Me' to 'Us'"： The art project must respond to the Tokyo Biennale 2027 theme, "From 'Me' to 'Us'." It must take individual experiences, memories, bodies, perspectives, and inquiries as its starting point while opening itself up to others, local areas, society, the city, and communities. Rather than stopping at the expression of the individual "Me," the proposal must re-examine the nature of "Us"—including relationships and the public sphere—through dialogue, collaboration, empathy, friction, and coexistence. It must not treat the city of Tokyo merely as a venue for presentation but must engage with the people living there, as well as local history, culture, daily life, and social issues. The proposal must demonstrate originality, social relevance, an experimental spirit, and feasibility.Studio / Workspace About the Project Sites： The art project encompasses eleven sites, ranging from shrines, temples, and halls to business districts, back alleys, old wooden buildings, and entertainment spaces. Shrines, Temples, and Halls (Religious Facilities): ① Toeizan Kaneiji Temple, ② Yushima Seido Removed from the daily hustle and bustle, these sacred spaces have long served as places where people confront their inner selves—their personal reflections and prayers. At the same time, they are spaces where diverse people gather and offer repeated prayers, thereby shaping a sense of "us"—a community or society. In an era of increasing digitalization and individualization, this project seeks to use the power of art to rebuild the "deep connections with others" that are gradually being lost. Through the dialogue between artistic expression and visitors, we aim to gently dissolve the boundaries of the individual self and build a bridge toward a future where we live together. Business Districts: ③ Otemachi/Marunouchi/Yurakucho, ④ Kyobashi Business districts are lined with skyscrapers and defined by schedules that tick by minute-by-minute. While these are places where individuals can maximize their personal capabilities, they can also foster psychological distance between people. To help business professionals break free from a state of "isolated individuality" and regain a sense of belonging as members who shape the city together, this project uses art to create "moments to pause and intersect with others" amidst daily routines, transforming functional urban spaces into stages for warm empathy. Back Alleys: ⑤ Nihonbashi, ⑥ Yaesu Back alleys act like the capillaries of the city. Unlike the main thoroughfares—which serve as the functional "public stage"—these alleys retain a deeply personal atmosphere, imbued with the character of old buildings, outdoor AC units, and residents' potted plants. We seek art projects set in back alleys—spaces that foster human connection through their intimate scale and "hideaway" atmosphere—where chance visitors and long-time locals can cultivate a deep sense of shared empathy. Old Wooden Architecture: ⑦ Kanda These wooden structures stand quietly in the city center, having witnessed repeated earthquakes, wartime destruction, and rapid urban development. Their scarred pillars, soot-stained ceilings, and creaking floorboards are imbued with the lives and stories of the countless individuals who once inhabited them. We seek art projects that reimagine these buildings not merely as "relics of the past," but as "living media" that intersect with the memories of those living today. Station Space: ⑧ UENO Station Since opening in 1883, Ueno Station has served as the “Gateway to Tohoku,” connecting Tokyo with northeastern Japan and witnessing generations of departures and homecomings. The present station building was completed in 1932 following the Great Kanto Earthquake. It is distinguished by its imposing, symmetrical façade and spacious concourse with a high, open atrium. Shinkansen trains, conventional railways, and subway lines intersect across a multilayered spatial structure of ground-level, underground, and elevated spaces, bringing together diverse people, cultures, and memories. New art initiatives are also being developed to transform JR Ueno Station into a “Hub for Cultural Creation.” Entertainment Space: ⑨ Tokyo Dome City Tokyo Dome City is a rarity on the global stage—a massive entertainment complex located right in the heart of the city. It is an energetic district where concerts, sporting events, and attractions allow people to encounter the things they love and experience genuine excitement. We seek art projects that harness the myriad forms of "individual energy" found here and channel them into a collective force—evolving the area into a larger community ("us"). Shopping district: ⑩ Akihabara Electric Town Akihabara Electric Town developed from a postwar market for radio components, evolving over time into a center for home appliances, electronic parts, computers, games, anime, and idol culture. Large and small shops, multi-tenant buildings, narrow alleyways, elevated railway tracks, signs, and advertisements overlap to form a complex and chaotic urban landscape, where highly specialized commerce coexists with diverse communities. Internationally recognized as “AKIBA,” it attracts visitors from Japan and around the world as a global mecca for otaku culture. It is a district with a distinctive urban culture in which the real and virtual worlds of technology, desire and expression intersect. Wholesale District: ⑪ Bakurocho/Higashi-Kanda Bakurocho and Higashi-Kanda—the new hubs for the Tokyo Biennale—are located in the eastern part of central Tokyo, straddling the Nihonbashi district of Chuo Ward and the Kanda district of Chiyoda Ward. During the Edo period, the area flourished as a nexus where inns, commerce, and the flow of people and goods converged, driven by the bustle near Ryogoku Bridge and the traffic along major highways. In the modern era, it solidified its character as a wholesale district, accumulating a rich history of commerce and lifestyle culture. Bakuro Curart inherits this legacy of trade and culture, generating new activities and encouraging visitors to explore the area as art, craft, community, and learning resonate with one another.Fees and support Support Offered： -Round-trip Travel expenses (Up to 300,000JPY including tax based on efficient and reasonable economy class tickets between Tokyo and your country.)
