→ A Glocal Class for Digital Performance

We are looking for artists who are interested in exploring the digital space as an artistic platform and at the same time work locally situated. This year we will select 10 artists to work together in a work-tank for one week and learn from each other. In the end, there will be a public showing, in which first work approaches will be presented. The goal of this year‘s edition of Tender Absence is to create a network of artists in order to strive for sustainable structures in international project work. The digital artistic form will also be the focus of the discussion: How can we produce beyond streams and zoom meetings? Who do we address on the Internet? How can we convey our local realities globally without exoticizing them? From the beginning, we will not be in a zoom meeting, but in an immersive space, trying out social gatherings in the digital.
