Research Institute in Art, Design and Society | HUB Open Call #5
The idea behind this year´s theme “Duration? Dur(action)” is an action that prevails in time. Action also has an open meaning, but it is always linked to time and space. It is from these presuppositions that they understand the notion of performance.
With this call, they seek proposals - they encourage RC expositions - that openly position themselves in the tension between performative temporalities. The hybridity of action must be maintained through the various possibilities they propose for participation: first and foremost, artistic practices, particularly those associated with "time-based art." This encompasses all forms that engage with temporality in their work and address the critical issue of our time without time, transcending disciplinary boundaries.
HUB is an online multimedia publication. Recognizing its limitations, they encourage participation that involves rhizomatic extensions of the expositions' content, allowing it to manifest in the real world. This is a key issue for this call: How can we avoid being trapped by an online framework that prioritizes speed and immediacy — an approach that has extended its influence over all aspects of reality? They aim to critically engage with this framework while maintaining a vital connection to the real world.
