OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS*

1st International Conceptual Art Biennale “Perceptions of the World”

Curator of the Biennale: Tomas Lagūnavičius.

​

Submission deadline: 2026.05.12

What is this Biennale about? How do we today interpret the various events taking place in the world: everyday, personal, social, political, aesthetic, technological? How do we perceive them and how do we interpret them? What concepts do we apply: postmodernist, metamodernist, modernist, etc.? What emotions do you experience while interpreting: do you calm down, or, on the contrary, do you feel anxious or afraid?

​

We invite artists to submit their works reflecting these themes and to share their interpretations, emphasizing that in conceptual art the idea and text are very important. Please submit conceptual art works in which ideas are expressed through texts, drawings, photographs, as well as in painting or collage forms, clearly presenting the concept of the work.
We look forward to receiving photographs of artworks according to the provided criteria.
