open call - metabolic arts gathering

The Metabolic Arts Gathering explores art-science and metabolism through a series of monthly meetings with readings, discussions, and art sharing over the course of 2023 at the Medical Museion in Copenhagen, Denmark. Meetings will take place in February, March, April, September, October and November.

We invite artists to be a part of the metabolic conversation around arts and seek different levels of experience with biology/science, as well as a variety of mediums. There are no required outputs: we simply ask you to engage in metabolic thought and let your art and ideas take you to new processes.

Metabolic Arts Gathering (MAG) is meant as an experiment; an open-ended process of coming together to see what happens when a group of artistic practitioners engage in sustained, topical conversation over time. Our outcomes are our conversations, which we hope will stimulate future collaborations and art making as we ask questions around what it means to develop metabolic arts and ask what a metabolic aesthetic can be.
