ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 2024

INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL FOR DRAWINGS

How is one’s own judgment of a work of art changed if one knows nothing about the names and origins of the authors? How do you develop your own definition of value if the prices are standardized? Where is the boundary between art and non-art?

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 2024 at Kunstraum Kreuzberg features 700 DRAWINGS by 700 international artists. The works will be presented with no mention of authorship or title. The drawings are offered for sale at a symbolic price of 250 Euros. The identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is sold: Sold drawings will be taken right off the wall. The empty space left behind will be marked with the artist‘s full name and place of origin. The given unit sales price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a conceptual place holder for any conceivable amount of money in the art market.

The exhibition is preceded by an INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL for submissions. There are no guidelines specifying content; the only requirement is that the drawings are no bigger than A3. Age, biography or gender will not be requested to be disclosed and do not play any role in the final selection of works. The selection will be made on the basis of anonymized image files.

ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS is conceptual art and exhibition project all in one: Each and every artist becomes part of a collective work of art where hierarchies are entirely absent.

Everyone is eligible. The participation is free of charge.

LINES FICTION

FILM ROLL 2024

November 16, 2024 – January 12, 2025

For over a hundred years, drawings have been transformed into moving images, and from the very beginning, artistic animated films have played a significant role. Viking Eggeling, Lotte Reiniger, and Walter Ruttmann were already setting distinct standards in the 1920s of the last century.

For the FILM REEL 2024, Lines Fiction issued an open call, bringing together 116 artists and teams from around the world. Their films are each under 8 minutes long and broadly explore the concept of drawing. For the second time since 2022, FILM REEL presents a wide and vibrant cross-section of the artistic animation scene.
