MEMPHIS CALLING is an international open call for curators and curatorial collectives to develop an exhibition for Memphis in Linz, Austria, in early 2027.
We are looking for distinctive curatorial approaches that bring together different artistic positions and engage with contemporary artistic, social, political and technological questions. There is no predefined theme or medium. We welcome experimental, interdisciplinary and unexpected approaches and are particularly interested in ideas that explore different ways of working with the exhibition space.
The selected proposal will be developed in dialogue with the Memphis team and presented from mid-January to the end of February 2027. A total budget of up to €7,500 is available for conception and realisation, including curatorial and artist fees, production, travel and transport. Memphis additionally provides the exhibition space and infrastructure, organisational and technical support, communication and PR.
Applications are open internationally and can be submitted in English or German.
