Events allgemein

Call for Artist, we are looking: for Pleasure(-Activists), intimacy, closeness

and sexyness. We long for touch, for bodily fluids and frictions. We want to feel

pleasure, devote ourself and let go. We are hungry, desiring and shameless.

We want to understand nudity and eroticism as a means of expression, to

rebel against sexist, heteronormative and racialising attributions and as

a political issue against internalised and lived established structures in

intimate relationships.

For the YUP Festival 2022 we are looking for performances, video performances

or performative installations by groups or individual performers on the topic:

Pleasure. The event will take place on 18-20 March 2022 in Osnabrück. We look

forward to receiving your submissions via our application form. Give us an

impression of your artistic work with a written concept (one DIN A4 page is

enough), documentation or other forms of visualisation.

Here is the link to the application form:

Who is the YUP Collective?

Since 2017, the YUP Collective has been realising various event formats related

to performance art in Osnabrück and other cities. Our cooperation partners were Haus der Jugend, Kunsthalle

Osnabrück and Museumsquartier in Osnabrück. The YUP collective consists of

7 FLINTA*persons. As a self-organised group, the Collective is not bound to

any institution and works on a grassroots democratic basis. We understand our

curatorial-mediating practice as political, as it negotiates issues and topics

relevant to the collective and initiates discourses.

We will let you know the results of the submissions at the beginning of January

2022.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us:

As an experimental form of conferencing Traversing Topologies: Imagining worlds and knowledge with/through artistic research is interested in ways of experiencing real topologies in alignment with the numerous versions of their abstraction and generalization. With decentralized actions, walks, performances, and interventions, the conference explores mental, geographical, and digital landscapes, and in the process designs forward-looking perspectives for artistic research and knowledge configurations.
