Entries open for Minus20degree Exhibition (8th Edition)

The 8th edition of minus20degree takes the term, Allmende, as its starting point. Allmende, or in English, the Commons, refers to a shared ground and its resources “was jedem gehört” what belongs to all. The allmende is rooted in a social agreement of collective ownership, ensuring that no one takes more than is harmful for the resource and for the other participants, such that all can benefit.

They are looking for artists in the field of sound art, videoart, performance, theater, installation, or dynamic land art for their 2026 edition.

They are especially interested in art that takes and needs space, art that is mobile or makes the audience move. They also look forward to receiving proposals for sound- and videoart that embraces the snowy landscape as an endless projection surface.
