[vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text]Vulnerable, sensitive – buzzword, slogan or motto? Politics, medicine and sociology make us rethink the topic every day. Ecology and climate research are confronted with it more than ever. The Corona crisis has made it abundantly clear to us: social interaction is a fragile construct. Theology reflects the concept at its very core: God became man in Jesus Christ – Jesus was vulnerable. Perhaps it is precisely from this vulnerability that comfort and strength arise?<\/p>\n

And what about art? Besides literature and music, hardly any other form of expression is as direct and diverse as the visual. It can be a statement, a reflective surface, a controversy or an (anti-) aesthetic. In the context of the competition, artistic positions, interpretations and forms of expression of the vulnerable are sought:[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE? WHAT FORM DOES IT TAKE? IS IT A FEELING, A PERSON OR AN OBJECT – CONCRETE, SUBTLE, ATTRACTIVE OR SHOCKING? WHAT IS ITS OPPOSITE \/ ANTAGONIST? WHAT CAN REPRESENT VULNERABILITY? HOW VULNERABLE IS ART?[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Young artists in particular are invited to find their own individual approach to the topic, to interpret the term freely and critically, to give it a form. The works of art should be a platform and a basis for discussion of the wide-ranging concept of VULNERABLE – VERLETZLICH.<\/p>\n

The patron of the competition is Bishop Dr. Gebhard F\u00fcrst. The call for entries is borne financially by the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, while the executive institution is the Diocesan Museum of Rottenburg.<\/p>\n

A total of 10 advancement awards and 10 recognition awards are being offered. All award-winning works in the advancement prizes category (places 1\u201310) will be displayed at an exhibition lasting several weeks as part of the 102nd German Catholic Day in Stuttgart<\/a> (May 2022). The exhibition venue will be the neo-Gothic church St. Maria<\/a> in central Stuttgart, which has been available as an open space for cultural projects, new spiritual concepts, art events, theatre and concerts since 2017.
\nIn addition, award-winning works in the categories of advancement and recognition prizes (places 1-20) are presented in a catalogue and on the competition website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ back_image=”2452″ back_repeat=”no-repeat” back_position=”left bottom” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ row_name=”Wettbewerb” el_id=”wettbewerb”][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ style=”light” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading]Competition[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”117891″]<\/p>\n

Advancement<\/h4>\n

Exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n

The competition aims to offer young artists especially a platform to present their current work to a wide audience. In this regard, an exhibition is planned in Stuttgart as part of the 102nd Catholic Day<\/a>. Prize winners in the advancement award category (places 1\u201310) will get the opportunity to have their work displayed over a period of 8 weeks. The works of art should form the basis for discussion and reflection on the concept of VULNERABLE – VERLETZLICH. The neo-Gothic church of [St. Maria] in central Stuttgart will provide the architectural home of the exhibition. The church has been used as an open space for a wide variety of cultural projects, new spiritual concepts, art events, theatre and concerts since 2017. Since the local campaign \u201cWe have a church, do you have an idea?\u201d it has been a centre of creativity at the heart of Stuttgart. Art objects, installations and performances can be presented here both in the interior and the forecourt of the church.
\nIf an accessible exhibition is not possible due to the ongoing pandemic, a digital concept will be implemented. If a live performance is not possible due to ongoing pandemic conditions, a recording will be shown as an alternative.<\/p>\n
