About Vorspiel 2019

With Vorspiel 2019, transmediale and CTM Festival continue the yearly tradition of strengthening Berlin’s network and scene of independent artists, curators, institutions, and project spaces. The Vorspiel network aims to connect different genres and practices, offering opportunities for exchange and reflection, as well as for sharing critical discourse on art, technology, politics, and identity. The jointly created program presents the diverse approaches of multiple cultural agents in a concentrated format, while also creating a space for dialogue with the two festivals. For this reason, each edition of Vorspiel takes place right before transmediale and CTM kick off. Read more about the 2019 editions of transmediale and CTM Festival.

Call for Participation

The Vorspiel 2019 Call for Participants is addressed to independent project spaces, platforms, curators, and artists in Berlin.

The two-week event series will start with a shared opening event on 18 January 2019 at ACUD MACHT NEU, organized by transmediale and CTM together with all participating venues.

Deadline: 23 November 2018

Production and organization costs associated with Vorspiel events must be covered by the associated spaces and organizers. transmediale and CTM will organize the communication and promotion of the program, including a dedicated Vorspiel 2019 website, a press release, print materials, and social media.
