Open Call Bosch Parade 2026 powered by defect
The deadline is on 19 February 2025.
Nothing and nobody’s perfect. Defects are everywhere, both large and small. Depressing poverty and unrisen cakes. Falsely sung notes and prolonged illness. Low-flying jets and dubious legal loopholes. Plagiarising academics and appallingly dressed carnival revellers.
Bosch Parade 2026 pays tribute to all these defects and imperfections, sailing under the title Powered by defect from 18 to 21 June 2026 and calling on artists of all disciplines as well as collectives, clubs, gangs and meetings to submit their ideas.
“Community meets Artist meets Defect” is the credo. And so we would like to see, hear and read about which defects and which community you would like to depict for Bosch Parade 2026.
Once again, we are looking for artistic works that make surprising connections between the work of Hieronymus Bosch and the present day. It is best to keep your proposal rough around the edges so that it can evolve during and throughout the process.
