OPEN CALL | LEFT HAND

Palmistry (手相), a traditional Chinese form of divination that provides mystical insights into an individual's fate and personality traits, analyzes the lines on the palms and fingers, symbolizing the left and right hands as Yin (阴) and Yang (阳)—energies analogous to the lunar and solar, darkness and light. Ursula K. Le Guin’s novel 'The Left Hand of Darkness' draws from similar thoughts in Taoism, encapsulated in the doctrine: “Light is the left hand of darkness, and darkness the right hand of light.

Works on Paper

For many, the freedom and immediacy afforded by working on paper is instrumental to their practices, spawning new
techniques and aesthetics, subjects and methods. Works On Paper encompasses a diverse range of media — from
drawing, printmaking, painting, collage, and beyond. Far from being confined to studies and experiments, works on
paper represent important modes of art-making in their own right.
BWAC is seeking artists exploring the creative potential of working on paper. Works On Paper will showcase artists with
an experimental spirit and exploration of the interaction between artist and paper in the process of creating art. No
photography. Original and framed work only.
