Open Call: Light & Audiovisual Art Festival in Cologne

Kulturhof Kalk e.V. invites artists to participate in RE-LIGHT HALLEN KALK 2025, a festival dedicated to light and audiovisual art – with a strong focus on sustainability and creative reuse. We are looking for artists working with light, projection, sound, and interactive installations to transform the Osthof of Hallen Kalk into an immersive, illuminated art space. Selected artists will be given the opportunity to create site-specific works using discarded and repurposed technology, such as old projectors, speakers, and computers – provided by other artists and supporters of Kulturhof Kalk e.V. The chosen artists for RE-LIGHT HALLEN KALK will drench the historic grounds of Hallen Kalk into light and sound – using discarded electronic equipment, provided through Kultrurhof Kalk e.V.: projectors, laptops, speakers, lights, microcontrollers and more – donated by local artists and supporters. The full list of devices can be accessed here (constantly updated). We are seeking proposals that creatively reuse obsolete technology to illuminate and activate both the indoor and outdoor spaces of Kulturhof Kalk. The aim: to reshape perceptions, foster dialogue, and spark new connections between art, technology, community, and the environment.
