With MEMPHIS CALLING, Kunstraum Memphis are opening to external curatorial perspectives through an international open call for the first time. MEMPHIS CALLING is looking for a curatorial concept for an exhibition bringing together several artistic positions, to be realised in early 2027 (exhibition period: mid-January to the end of February).
Memphis understands contemporary art as a space where artistic, social, political, economic and technological questions intersect. Experimental and transdisciplinary approaches are explicitly welcome.
The exhibition will be present at Kunstraum Memphis for four to five weeks. The Memphis Light Box can be incorporated as an additional artistic presentation space: a 1 × 6 metre light box on the exterior façade that has so far been used primarily for text-based works.
