The Bring In Take Out Living Archive offene Ausschreibungen
(English version see below)

LA ist ein kollektives Kunstprojekt, das auf den Grundsätzen des Teilens, des Austausches, des gemeinsamen und individuellen Wissens basiert. Wir suchen mit „offenen Ausschreibungen” nach Information, der Dokumentation von Kunstwerken und nach Kunstwerken von Frauen sowie feministischen KünstlerInnen in Audio/Text/visuellen Formaten, die in der LA Wien Ausgabe und weiteren berücksichtigt werden.

Im Rahmen von unserem kontinuierlichem Bemühen, feministisches Wissen, Erfahrungen, Ideen und Einstellungen im Hinblick auf feministische Kunstpraktiken im postjugoslawischen Raum und darüber hinaus zu sammeln, haben wir einen on-line Fragebogen entwickelt, der für KünstlerInnen, AkademikerInnen, KulturarbeiterInnen, KuratorInnen, AktivistInnen und allen Personen mit Wissen, Erinnerungen und/oder Expertise in diesem Bereich konzipiert ist. Jede Meinung ist wichtig, bitte lassen Sie uns Ihre wissen!
Der Fragebogen ist hier zu finden: http://bringintakeout.wordpress.com/questionnaire

Perpetuum Mobile ist eine Zusammenstellung von Videoarbeiten wie auch von anderen digitalisierten Kunstprojekten (Fotos, Comics, Texte, webbasierte Projekte) und wächst auf der Basis einer kontinuierlichen, offenen Ausschreibung. Die Kompilation wird im Rahmen der LA Ausstellungen (als Vorführung an der Perpetuum Mobile Station) in unterschiedlichen Städten gezeigt. Aus rechtlichen Gründen können wir nur Videoarbeiten als Geschenk oder einfach als Kopie akzeptieren. http://bringintakeout.wordpress.com/artists-and-works/perpetum-mobile/

Wenn Sie an LA offenen Ausschreibungen wahrnehmen wollen, schicken Sie bitte Ihr Material in digitaler Form an: bringintakeoutgmail [dot] com oder bringen Sie es in VBKÖ oder Open Systems mit.

About the Project
The Bring In Take Out Living Archive (LA) takes and uses artistic, creative and research means and their intersecting strategies to create a contemporary art exhibition, laboratory and public archive of women artists and feminist art.

With the bring-in-take-out principle, the LA aims at creating an interactive platform for sharing and collaborative work in the digital and public space, in which the politics of remembering, contemporary art and translation of feminist knowledge happen.

The main referential backgrounds are contemporary art, feminist theory and practice, as well as post/Yugoslav space which function like a polis as defined by Hannah Arendt: “The polis, properly speaking, is not the city-state in its physical location; it is the organization of the people as it arises out of acting and speaking together, and its true space lies between people living together for this purpose, no matter where they happen to be” (The Human Condition. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1958, p. 198.)

The LA tends to be transparent, socially engaged and methodologically innovative platform which gathers artists, researches and curators. The project evolves and processes trough LA editions in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Vienna and elsewhere. The concept further on develops with every new edition.

The Bring In Take Out Living Archive open calls

The Bring In Take Out Living Archive is a collaborative art project that is grounded on the principles of sharing, exchange, commons, and collective vs. individual knowledge. With different open calls we are looking for information, documentation of artworks and artworks of women and feminist artists from the (post)Yugoslav space and beyond:

Bring In Take Out Living Archive Questionnaire
As part of our continuous endeavour to collect feminist knowledge, experiences, ideas and beliefs in regard to feminist art practices in the (post)Yugoslav space and beyond, we have developed a Questionnaire to be filled out by artists, academics, cultural workers, curators, activists and all who have knowledge, remembrances and/or expertise in the field. Each opinion counts, so please bring in yours! You can find the questionnaire and fill it out at this site:

Open call for Perpetuum Mobile video compilation
Perpetuum Mobile is a compilation of video works as well as some other digitized art projects (photos, comics, texts, webbased projects), growing on the basis of a continuous open call and on display within LA exhibitions (as screening at the Perpetuum Mobile station) in different cities. For legal reasons we can only accept video art works as a gift or simply as a copy.

For Reading Room and Digital Oven – another two stations of LA exhibition – we are looking for any kind of documentation: photo, exhibition photos or information on video and audio material etc., preferably in digital format.
