Application deadline: December 10, 2021
The Mattress Factory is pleased to announce our new International Open Call for artist residencies and solo exhibitions.

The artists forming the Artist Review Panel for the 2021 International Open Call are vanessa german, Sohrab Kashani, Christopher Meerdo and Sarah Oppenheimer. The Artist Review Panel will review submissions and select artists to be offered residencies and solo exhibitions, shaping the upcoming programs of the Mattress Factory from submissions to the open call.
During their residency, artists are free to explore wherever their process leads them. The Mattress Factory will support each artist’s process from development through production and installation to exhibition. Solo exhibitions resulting from residencies will be scheduled from Spring 2023 onwards.

VIS Open Call #8: »Of Rules and Alternatives«
Application deadline: January 6, 2022
VIS – Nordic Journal for Artistic Research is a digital journal presenting artistic research, with a special emphasis on the Nordic region.
In this issue of VIS, which is organized as a dialogic editorial endeavor, we seek expositions that situate themselves between a claim of breaking with the rules and the establishments of new orders, work which thereby amalgamate or reject the very concept of this dichotomy by operating in the liminal field (or limbo) in between. How does this ambiguity manifest in your work? How and why does this liminal space materialise in your work, and what strategies – conceptual or concrete – do you use to navigate it? Do you plan for it, or is it something that emerged through the process? What boundaries is your work pushing or permeating, and vice versa?
We are interested in artistic practices that are exploring and/or questioning the artistic possibilities that lie within (and beyond) the liminal space between rules and alternatives, be they cultural, scientific, social, or political, to unravel and propose ideas and insights that will meet the needs, desires, or challenges of our times.
Selected authors are granted 2-3 months to develop their proposals into full expositions. These expositions are to be fully developed and ready for peer-reviewing.
The call for VIS issue 8 is open until 6 January 2022.
