La Banda dei Bandi: zweifünf open call

The project zweifünf, initiated by design student and photographer Theo Kortschak, invites young designers and artists to take part in a 25-hour pop-up exhibition. Applications are open until October 30th 2025. zweifünf was developed within the framework of Tabula Rasa, an open call by the cultural platform Weigh Station in Bolzano.

Tabula Rasa is an open-call format by Weigh Station that specifically targets young people from and in South Tyrol aged 18 to 26 – those “who have something to say or do”, whether in the fields of environment, art, sport, technology, culture, or society. In collaboration with Stiftung Sparkasse, the City of Bolzano, and Politiche Giovanili Alto Adige, Tabula Rasa supports selected projects with funding from €500 to €2000, helping them come to life.
One of the selected winning projects is zweifünf.

What is zweifünf?
zweifünf was proposed by Theo Kortschak as a 25-hour pop-up exhibition format — focusing on design and art projects in South Tyrol — using the open call as a vehicle for visibility, exchange, and creative engagement among young talents.

Who can participate?
Young creatives based in South Tyrol, especially in design and art, aged 18 to 30, are invited to submit their projects, works, or products. Whether it’s a concept, installation, photo series, design piece, or experimental format — everything connected to the South Tyrolean creative scene and fitting into the exhibition space is welcome.

What does zweifünf offer?

• A temporary exhibition space for 25 hours in Bolzano
• Visibility for young talents — and the chance to take part in a dynamic, collaborative format
• Openness to smaller, less “professional” ideas: even if your project or artwork isn’t huge, a small idea is still a good idea

Deadline
October 30th, 2025
If you’d like to exhibit your design or art project with zweifünf, make sure to submit your application in time. Find all links to zweifünf's Instagram and the application form in the official posts. 

So — if you feel like showing your creative work in an exciting format, connecting with other young talents, and becoming visible within a fresh project in South Tyrol — zweifünf is the right place to start.
