IRINA BUJOR’s “Open Call” reaching out in Graz

The superlarge poster (139x119cm) looking at laughter as portrait was thought as an intervention for the vitrine of Narrenkastl in Frohnleiten, but soon came the idea of expanding the reach of the “Open Call”. The new posters were placed in art spots in Graz - Volkskunde Museum, Kunsthaus, Künstlerhaus and Kultur Service Gesellschaft vitrine - asking for a direct feedback: booking a laughing appointment with the artist for a future artwork.
