BABEL is an artist-run exhibition space for contemporary art in Trondheim (Norway), founded by the artists at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder in 2006. The exhibition programme is mainly based on open calls and peer review and aims to present art that emerges from the artists’ own visions, without external directives or commercial considerations. BABEL presents a broad range of exhibitions by artists from Norway and abroad.
This open call applies to exhibitions taking place in 2027 and 2028. Artists may apply with solo or group exhibitions, fully developed projects or more open exhibition ideas. Curatorial projects are also welcome. There are no formal requirements regarding the conceptual or material framework of the exhibition, beyond what is necessary to present and assess the artistic practice.
The open call is intended for professional visual artists and craft artists at all stages of their careers. Artists from all over the world can apply.
The artist will receive:
- Exhibition fee of 12,000 NOK
- 3,000 NOK for transportation for artists living outside Trøndelag
- Free access to LKV’s shared workshops for wood, metal, printmaking, analogue photography, ceramics and large scale production
- Exhibition documentation, communication and marketing, basic hosting and mediation, and practical assistance within available capacity
