This is part of a double open call. Artists may apply to one or both of them.

Located underneath L’Objet Trouvé in Prague, FOUND OBJECT is a recently opened art space dedicated to experimental, process-based, and cross-disciplinary artistic practices. Following a summer break, the group exhibition Works in Progress will mark the reopening of the space and act as an introduction to its curatorial direction: open, playful, research-led, and attentive to artistic processes as much as to final outcomes.

For this exhibition, we are looking for projects that approach the artwork not as a final, fixed object, but as a creature, system or entity that unfolds over time: through research, interaction, collaboration, repetition, failure, play, or transformation.

We welcome works that are literally unfinished, ongoing, or still evolving, as well as finalized projects that reveal the process behind their making. The exhibition can also be an opportunity for artists to present their work in a different way — by sharing sketches, research material, documentation, trials, fragments, or unfinished stages that would be otherwise left unseen.

We are especially interested in works that are interactive and/or playful, social, research-based, experimental. All media are welcome, with a particular interest in installation, low-tech interactive experiments, documentary practices and participatory formats.

Artists are encouraged, but not required, to continue developing or activating the work during the exhibition.
