Paris-Cologne Performance Night

This night of performances by up-and-coming artists from Paris and Cologne is the result of an experimental open call for artistic projects in the Paris region initiated by Academy member, Monika Gintersdorfer. This call was primarily directed at artists active in the field of performing arts whose work is characterized by a political and/or social standpoint and who had never before applied to a European cultural institution. The call was non-bureaucratic and asked for applications in any language and form, without requesting institutional confirmations or detailed budgets. The call itself was promoted via unconventional channels, in DJ sets, and by word of mouth. The Academy thus aimed to extend the group of potential applicants and to oppose the overprofessionalization and tacitly racist exclusionism of the cultural field. Call projects will be shown together with several matching works by young artists from Cologne and followed by a DJ set from KATHARINA SILVER (Cologne), all selected by Academy’s team. The event is preceded by a voguing workshop in TanzFaktur on 23.4., led by Alex Mugler.
