OPEN CALL FOR EMERGING ARTISTS | Moments of Grammatical Collapse

We live within a grid of default grammars—how emotions circulate, how bodies function, how images are interpreted, how technology operates, and how narratives unfold. These rules form the grammar of the contemporary world—a matrix of rhythms, orders, and perceptions. Yet, this system sometimes breaks down. Sensors fail, timelines blur, readings collapse. And in these moments of collapse, meaning doesn’t disappear—it multiplies, mutates, and opens toward the unknown.

Iconic

We invite artists from around the world to participate in our upcoming exhibition on the theme of "Iconic".

This open invitation seeks to show different interpretations and perspectives on how we perceive the world around us. Through various forms of visual and conceptual expression, we aim to explore the multifaceted nature of perception, challenging conventional notions and broadening our understanding and approach to life.

Program Overview

July Open Call: Animalia

Our July Open Call, “Animalia," has been created by our 34 Gallery Art Advisor Lawrence W. Lee to generate discussion on emotions that often defy words. Previous Winners can be found on the Open Calls page of our website. Our initiative aims to channel the power of art to explore monthly mental health themes through art therapy.  This month, we are particularly interested in works by artists who reduce mental health distress through self-care with the assistance of pets, guide/therapy animals and the natural world.

Why Animals Matter in Art

Open Call: Goldstücke 2025 – Light Art Festival in Gelsenkirchen

From 2 to 5 October 2025, the Buer district city centre in Gelsenkirchen will once again be transformed into an atmospheric stage for artistic light interventions. We invite individual artists and interdisciplinary teams to submit new concepts or existing light artworks that can be well adapted to the urban environment.

This year’s edition follows the theme “Active Positive,” inspired by architect Oskar Hansen’s concept of “Open Form.” We wish to promote a shared, optimistic engagement with our built environment, encouraging participation and dialogue through light art.

Submission deadline: Friday, 6 July 2025, 23:59 (CET)

We look forward to receiving your submissions.
