SMACH is an international call for artists. SPROUTING. The theme of the Biennale 2023 is a verb declined in the gerund indicating an action already in progress on a visible level or on invisible, microscopic, metaphorical levels. The term has a wide range of applications from botany to molecular biology to the development of the neural system.
Today, we have left the Covid almost behind us, but we live in a present of wars, inflation, climate and energy crisis. It is a time of instability, which often rhymes with low fertility. With SPROUTING, we want to stimulate you to imagine what can be born in this era. What seeds would you like to plant? What shoots would you like to see sprout? What would you like to grow (or create) and leave for future generations?
We leave the answers to your visions, which can interpret the suggestions given by the theme according to conceptual and visual variations that we hope will be unexpected, stimulating and, of course, in dialogue with nature and the proposed prestigious Alpine sites.
You can find the full call for proposals in 4 languages and the document with detailed descriptions of each location below or as downloadable PDF-s at 2023 SUBMISSION PAGE.
