The inspiration for this e vent:\nthe Salon des Refusés\, French for “exhibition of rejects”\, i s generally an exhibition of works rejected by the jury of the official Pa ris Salon\, but the term is most famously used to refer to the Salon des R efusés of 1863. In that year\, artists protested the Salon jury’s rejec tion of more than 3\,000 works\, far more than usual. Emperor Napoléon II I decreed that the rejected artists could exhibit their works in an annex to the regular Salon. Many critics and the public ridiculed the refuses\, but the critical attention also legitimized the emerging avant-garde in pa inting.

It has the right to award doctorates and post-doctoral lecturing qualifi cations and offers more than 40 study courses covering the full spectrum o f the arts and related academic fields. Art and science are moving towards one another\, discovering common issues and working methods. The creative \, imaginative processes in the arts and sciences are similar\, whereas th e concrete realisation of their results tends to differ. Repeatedly\, this difference is the source of productive tension and areas of friction. In all disciplines of the arts and sciences\, further developments over recen t decades have been characterised by mutual influences and efforts at diff erentiation. Today\, traditional dividing lines between the spheres can no longer be maintained\; they are being newly defined and presented in thei r permeability. This international competition aims to give the impetus an d opportunity to artists (fine art\, media\, architecture\, design\, music \, theatre\, visual communication etc.) and scientists to work between the priorities of the arts or between the arts and science. No entry fee.
