OPEN CALL - HIGH VOLTAGE - KUNSTKANTINE - Groningen
This October, HIGH VOLTAGE transforms the Machinefabriek into a space charged with movement, sound and collective energy. They invite artists to submit work that explores energy in all its forms-not only as electricity or infrastructure, but as movement, rhythm, transformation, connection and collective experience.
Inspired by the building's industrial history, The Current by Club Guy & Roni and the energy of rave and club culture, HIGH VOLTAGE brings together artists whose work resonates with themes of change, renewal, identity and freedom. We welcome submissions from artists working across all disciplines, including installation, sculpture, painting, photography, video, sound, performance and interdisciplinary practices.
