Plot 01 – open call is live
An open platform where talent becomes visible: art goes out into the street on clothing, and every piece creates impact for the artist and for a social cause.
– 20% to the cause
– 20% to the cause
Art leaves the portfolio, leaves the selection process, and goes out onto the street.
How TIP works
01 – The platform
Anyone can submit an artwork. It goes live with the artist’s name, portfolio and contact, for everyone to see.
Clothing with a QR
The community picks which stories go out into the street, and a QR says who made them.
The cause
For the artist who made it, and for the social cause behind that year’s plot.
Every piece carries a story and the name of the artist who made it. A QR on the garment says who is behind it, and every piece supports the artist and the cause behind the plot.
Printed on demand: nothing is made to sit on a shelf.
Theme
Plot 01 opens with a question that is simple enough to wear and big enough to argue with: what if love moved the world?
Emerging artists are invited to turn that question into an image. The community votes, the most voted work is produced, and a share of the net margin supports the Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona at Hospital Sant Joan de Déu.
This is the first public chapter of The Invisible Plot: urban art, collective choice and a cause moving through the same object.
The Plotters are the first artists who do more than appear in the project. They carry it: sharing the call, opening the conversation and helping the invisible become public.
To be a Plotter is to stand inside the story with a real stake in what gets built: not as a campaign face, but as a maker, a witness and a voice for the community around the work.
Venezuelan-born artist based in Barcelona. His work explores geometry, movement and optical perception through laser-cut acrylic and precise, repeated forms.
Multidisciplinary artist based in Barcelona, known for her work built around the kiss — a language without gender or borders.
Irish painter based in Mondsee. Two decades building a body of work where colour, text fragments and layered structures meet.
Storyteller based in Mondsee. Everything she does comes from one belief: talent should be seen. TIP exists to make that happen.
Each collection is accompanied by an artist with a long body of work. Not a jury, not a mentor handing down verdicts — someone who has spent years doing this and is willing to pass on what they know.
Halfway through the collection, the Host leads a workshop with the artists taking part. It is a working session: how a body of work gets built, how it survives, what the years teach. In person or online, and open to everyone who took part — not a prize for one. And it is a room full of people at the same point you are, which matters as much as the workshop itself.
Every Plot has a different Host. The work travels further when the people making it know each other.
HOST 01
Host 01 / Plot 00
Host
Born 1961 in Straß, Styria. His first international work was in music, with the Vienna Boys’ Choir. He trained at the Meisterschule für Malerei in Graz and then at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna under Maria Lassnig, Hubert Schmalix and C. L. Attersee, graduating in 1992, with photography under Friedl Kubelka-Bondy and Rudi Molacek. Sculpture and conceptual art followed with Timm Ulrichs at the Kunstakademie Münster and Michelangelo Pistoletto at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and screenwriting at the Filmschule Wien. Since 1990 he has worked across painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation and performance, much of it in public and social space: Alpha Black and White at the National Gallery in Bangkok, the sculpture Monument at Mauthausen, radikal lokal and Butoh at the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, and a solo exhibition at the Leopold Museum. His work is held by the Joanneum in Graz, the Neue Galerie Graz, the Styrian Art Foundation and the National Art Gallery in Bangkok, among others. Alongside it runs three decades of work in art and therapy — with children, with people with disabilities, in preventive youth work and in drug aftercare — and since 2014 he has taught on the art therapy programme at the Sigmund Freud University in Vienna and Berlin.
Open Call / Plot 01
Plot 01 will begin with five selected artists. Until the open call closes and the community decides, their place on the home stays deliberately anonymous: a visible space for names that have not been revealed yet.
These silhouettes mark the future archive. Soon each one will connect to a real artist, a work, a story and a cause moving through the same object.
The Invisible Plot is a public platform for emerging urban artists: an open call, a community vote, a wearable artwork printed on demand and a real cause moving through the same story.
Artists do not disappear after submitting. Each profile becomes part of a living archive, each selected work can travel beyond the wall, and every piece points back to the person who made it.
If you make work, enter the plot. If you are watching, vote, read, share and help decide which image deserves to move through the world.
Artists enter through a clear public brief. No jury gate, no application fee, no filter.
When the call closes, the public decides. The most voted work is the one that gets produced.
The most voted work becomes a wearable piece, with a QR that leads back to the artist.
A fixed share of the net margin supports the chosen cause. The project only works if the split is visible. Every piece is printed on demand: zero leftovers, and the more it sells, the more the artist and the cause earn.
Selected or not, every artist enters the public archive: a profile, the work, and a link back to them.
You submitted. That matters. The platform is built so visibility is not treated as a temporary prize.
