Open Call
The shop window exhibition SCHAUVIER will dedicate itself to the theme of vacancy in June and July 2024. Formerly purpose-bound spaces stand abandoned, reminding us of the absence of what once existed and what may await us in the future. Vacancy in rural areas reflects societal pain: the loss of community and social interaction. However, we aim to broaden the perspective on these vacant spaces. They should not merely be seen as deficiencies but rather as domains that create space for reflection, interpretation, and thoughts. The emptiness transforms into potential, eagerly awaiting to be filled with new impulses. Vacancy becomes a time of reorientation, where untapped potential can be filled with fresh vitality. The decision on which contents shape this space lies with us. The association „ent“ warmly invites artists from all disciplines to engage with this shift in the significance of public and semi-public spaces. The SCHAUVIER exhibition aims not only to raise awareness of „social vacancy“ but also to create a new space for community and discourse.
The association „ent“ – Association for the Promotion of Art and Culture in Rural Areas, relocated to the premises in the center of Stadt Haag in July 2022. Currently, the association showcases the shop windows of the art and cultural workshop „ent“ with two exhibitions annually. With SCHAUVIER, we are now excited about the fourth exhibition within this format.
