HOX No.04
PLAY
DEADLINE: 13.04.25
The next print edition of HOX – platform for critical observation will be published on 8 November 2025 on the occasion of a showcase event in Zurich.
The focus is on providing a platform for critical positions in the arts. We are looking for artistic positions that are interested in this topic and want to open up new perspectives.
For this, we would like to get together with the selected contributors for a workshop in May, to look at the showcase space together and to discuss the plans for the print publication and the event in November.
