<p>CALL FOR ARTS<br>
The Presence of the Past. Reflections on the artistic legacy from the <br>
Communist Regimes The end of the Communist Regimes in Central and <br>
Eastern Europe almost immediately lead to intensives disputes about <br>
both the architectural and the artistic heritage from the former <br>
regimes. One prominent example here is the "Palast der Republik" <br>
(Palace of the Republic) in Berlin and the decision of its <br>
demolition, which went along with a heated controversy within the <br>
city but also nationwide. The debate, that was emotionally and <br>
politically laden, increased and compounded the separation between <br>
those supporting the conservation of the building and those arguing <br>
for its demolition. Although most of such arguments address concrete <br>
buildings and works of art and are thus shaped by their respective <br>
characteristics, in their essence they go far beyond, raising general <br>
issue about how to deal with a past, that is still physically there <br>
and visible in everyday life: What is worth to preserve, what should<br>
be continue to be used even though in a different way, and which <br>
argument sufficiently supports the demolition of these legacies, in <br>
its consequence implying an irresistible sinking into oblivion. The <br>
answer to these questions is obviously shaped by the tension between <br>
the artistic values of architecture and the arts on the one hand and <br>
a historical as well as moral judgment about its origins, and its <br>
political uses on the other.<br>
The Leipziger Kreis. Forum für Wissenschaft und Kunst – an <br>
institution seeking to bring scholars and artists together to jointly <br>
challenge pressing issues at stake – aims addressing these questions <br>
in a recently started project. Young scholars and artists are going <br>
to turn together towards the history, present and future of the <br>
inherited architecture and arts from the former socialist countries. <br>
Fundamental for the project is its comparative perspective, which <br>
includesnot only Germany, but also Poland, the Czech Republic, <br>
Hungary or Russia. <br>
Artists (painting, media art, fotography or cross-over) who are <br>
interested in participating in this project are invited to hand in <br>
their applications. From everybody chosen to participate it will be <br>
expected to develop a concept, which contributes with a fresh and <br>
enriching perspective to the general theme of the project, i. e. the <br>
forms of dealings with the architectural and artistic legacies of the <br>
socialist regimes. For December 2007 a joint exhibition is planned as <br>
well as the publication of a catalogue.<br>
For applications (in either English or German) please us send until <br>
March 19, 2007<br>
– an expose of the envisaged with a short rational<br>
– a portfolio with a documentation of former works<br>
– a short CV as well as a list of publications / exhibitions<br>
