Description

This year, we’re launching an OPEN CALL to connect with two new artistic positions. Under the theme DATING ALIENS, we’ll be landing at PARALLEL VIENNA (10–14 September 2025), and we’re inviting you to shape the space with us in a collaborative exhibition.

What does DATING ALIENS mean in our context? Following last year’s theme, New Encounters, we want to continue discovering new things and developing fresh ideas, whatever or whoever they may be. Dating Aliens embraces the unfamiliar, the mystique, and the unexpected.

Good to know:
– You’re welcome to apply either individually or as a duo.
– Works with a strong conceptual foundation will be prioritized.
– All media are welcome (sculpture, video, photography, etc.).
– You should be open to teamwork and collaboration.
– Joy in the process is essential.
– Each selected artist will receive a symbolic artist fee of €200.
– Selected artists will be featured in our Parallel magazine.
– We prefer not to exhibit works that have already been widely shown.
– Participation in the OPEN CALL is free of charge.

Please send us:
– A short concept (max. 500 characters)
– An artist statement (max. 350 characters)
– A link to your website and/or Instagram

To: mail@les-nouveaux-riches.com | Subject: DATING ALIENS
Submission deadline: June 30, 2025 (Selected artists will be contacted via email by July 16.)
Note: Applicants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation expenses. Presence is mandatory throughout the art fair, including during setup and takedown of the exhibition.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us: mail@les-nouveaux-riches.com. We are looking forward to your submissions.
Love, LNR Team
