Trondheim Academy of Fine Art invites students to take part in the KUNO Biennial 2025 in Trondheim. This nomadic biennial continues its journey from the Vilnius edition Shared imaginations in 2023, and now proposes to embark on a Venture Collective.
By deliberately playing with associations to the start-up term Venture Capital, which evokes economic playgrounds of risk investment and speculation, we want to twist the understanding of the capitalist value system and instead emphasize a value creation fostered through social cooperations. To frame a space that faces the economic realities we are living in, including the art world, while imagining alternative and collaborative ways of venturing. We call for proposals that take the risk of being open, complex and sensible to a place, an environment, uncertainty and collective processes. That are seeking for an artistic and transformative responsivity towards the worldly challenges of our time. This can and should take multiple forms.
