The concept

The project title Total Diagnoses contains a large dose of absurdity and
this absurdity somehow becomes relevant to the current historic moment. The
ambition for a global diagnosis of the present, is doomed to failure from
the start by our post globalized world where the logic of what is happening
is largely determined by what's local and different. Simultanously in new
history - cycling in particular appears the idea of a total diagnosis - a
new social concept which will launch a new era, a new political system or an
important change. This happened before the October Revolution in Russia,
before World War II, before the fall of the Berlin Wall:

Do we live today in a similar moment?

The events of recent years led many observers to believe that we are on the
eve of change. The global financial crisis has put into question the Western
model and clearly showed that the post liberal capitalist system needs
reform. The economic map of the world has changed and the countries of Asia
and Latin America came to the fore. The Arab Spring launched new radical
clashes. The war in Syria, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, Charlie
Hebdo, are all parts of a puzzle that has a complex system where religion,
military activities and geopolitical interests can lead to unpredictable
developments. The war in Ukraine showed that Russia declares its new place
in the world as a global player. Are we facing a new Cold War?

Against this global picture occur thousands of local conflicts, refugee
waves, discriminatory practices, personal life stories:

The concept of Total Diagnoses does not aim to present a pessimistic or an
apocalyptic future. It is looking for answers to many questions with ideas
that present possible artistic alternatives to the current socio-cultural
environment. Therefore very important are the positive practices of
solidarity, collaboration and targeted joint activities of various small
communities and groups based on artistic, economic, minority or
socio-political principle.

Application Requirements

The open call is aimed at a wide range of contemporary artists
internationally. The specifics of the concept require works that reflect
analytically and critically, comment and interpret the geopolitical, social,
economic, technological and intellectual reality today.

To apply for the Open Call, applicants are required to present:
- CV
- Portfolio
- Precise project proposal - a description of the idea, visual materials and
technical specification

The selected artworks will be presented as part of a public talk at the ICI
Curatorial Hub in New York, an international group exhibition in Vienna
(2016), and an international group exhibition in Budapest (2016).
