— too bold, too big, to far: Unrealized artworks become visible. Artists from all over connect.
While mobility is restricted, borders and distances are clearly perceptible and existential uncertainties
are omnipresent, more artistic works than ever remain in the state of planning. Whether it fails due to
lack of time, space or money or accompanies your artistic work for years as bold dream — we are looking
for your projects, which have not (yet) made it beyond their state as an idea, concept, draft or prototype.
With this exhibition we want to open up a space and visibility in terms of concepts, sketches, drafts, plans
and photographs. These papers will be presented at the art space BLECH. in Halle, Germany.
At the same time, despite current challenges and immobility, this format allows to present
and bring international artists together. Since many things cannot take place on location and in person,
there will be an online programm additional to the exhibtion. For an exchange and encounters, the
participating artists and their work will be presented and discussed on a digital platform.

STATEMENT
Since I found this soul landscape, or it found me, it keeps whispering stories into my ear. Stories of earthly survival, another branch, another connection.
Donna Haraway says „Nothing is connected to everything. Everything is connected to something.“.
And everthing has a story, a history, her_story. But we know and care so little about the stories around us, the song of a landscape, the knowledge of the other beings that inhabit it. And what we know often stays in little boxes called science. The agave, who would have guessed that it has a colonial heritage? The dorade, who would have known that they are gender-fluid? The beautiful coastline, who thinks that the ground is poisoned? The seagulls, how do they live together? And what are all those queers doing here?
We are all on the same island. And if we look carefully, maybe we can find the fine strings that connect all those stories. What can they teach us? What can we learn for earthly survival? How can we become responsible?
