“Call for local artists - Zwischen Ausstellung und Atelier”
29. - 31. Mai 2026, Q18 - Quartier am Hafen
“Call for Local Artists – Between Exhibition and Studio” is a presentation that emerged from the open call of the same name organized by Photoszene Köln and eye got space. Between March and April 2026, local photographers and artists were invited to apply for a studio visit. The studio visits are a format developed by Photoszene that highlights a diverse community of artists who work with and experiment using the medium of photography. Studios and ateliers are fiercely contested spaces in an increasingly densely populated city. Not everyone who works with photography has access to these spaces. The applicants are invited as a temporary collective to transform the White Cube “Q18” in order to provide insight into their current work and thoughts. The presentation therefore represents a work in progress, a “space between exhibition and studio,” and in this way highlights collective processes with the questions:
How can the individual contribute to a shared future?
How can we work—better together?
