Get matched →This is an open call for an art in public space competition for the new Campus Handwerk of the Handwerkskammer Halle (Saale). The competition is a 1-stage artistic competition with a preliminary open expression of interest. A selection committee will choose up to ten artists or artist groups to participate in the competition from the submitted expressions of interest.
Professional visual artists are eligible to participate. There are no local restrictions.
The competition focuses on 'Kunst am Bau' (art in architecture) for the new Campus Handwerk. The task is to develop an artistic overall concept for the outdoor areas, especially in front of the main entrance and in the inner courtyard. The artwork should enrich the quality of stay and contribute to the identity and atmosphere of the ensemble. It should connect the themes of ART – CRAFT – TOOL – MATERIAL – STAY – ENCOUNTER into an independent, site-specific, and permanently effective total work of art, making familiar things newly experienceable. Handcraft professions, tool shapes, movements, materials, and manufacturing techniques should be translated into a contemporary formal language. The artistic work can be executed in various media, with a particular opportunity to combine contemporary and applied art, and to integrate or newly conceive seating and gathering elements.

The Handwerkskammer Halle is building a new center for vocational training and further education for craft professions in the region, called 'Neubau Campus Handwerk'. The future campus will be located at Straße der Handwerker 2, 06132 Halle (Saale), in the Halle-Osendorf district. The new building includes 19 workshops for inter-company training and master preparation courses, covering approximately 8,000 square meters. There will be 238 workshop places and 148 classroom places, as well as a dormitory for 111 guests, a canteen, and outdoor facilities. The competition is for the future outdoor common areas, particularly in front of the main entrance and in the inner courtyard.
