brau.ART is an annual curated exhibition of contemporary art in Dessau-Roßlau, which is organized by the brau.ART e. V. art association. From September 11 to 27, 2026, the show is already entering its 17th round and will once again take place within the walls of the Alte Schultheißbrauerei (subject to planning permission).
Artists in the fields of fine arts and design are called upon to work on the topic of “o. T.” to deal with.
What is hidden behind this succinct “o.T.”? An indication that a work does not want to be defined? Perhaps it means “untitled”, “without a theme”, or perhaps “open topography”, “obscure tendency” or “open dreams”. Our language knows many ways of loosening, shifting and transforming meanings. And yet: perhaps it is precisely the unnamed that is the real title. Perhaps art needs no explanatory words, no framing, no securing of evidence. Perhaps its own breathing, its own glow, its own enigma is enough. Either way, a moment of expectation remains.
Dear artists, let us participate in your interpretations, your settings, your refusals. Show us what “o.T.” can become in your art, surprise us and our audience!
Applications are only possible via the following online form.
