Open Call | Art Exhibition in China - Time Folded

Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group art exhibition open call "Time Folded".

Time doesn’t always move forward. It loops, stretches, overlaps—and sometimes, it folds.
We invite artists from all disciplines to explore the visual possibilities of nonlinear time: memories that resurface, futures imagined in fragments, histories layered with the now.
This exhibition seeks works that embody the cyclical, fragmented, and simultaneous experience of time. Whether abstract or narrative, conceptual or emotional, we are looking for images or videos that reflect time as an unfolding process—not a fixed line.

ACCEPTED ART MEDIA
All artistic mediums are welcome, including but not limited to painting, photography, video, digital art, mixed media, collage, and sculpture. Works must be submitted in digital format, and artists must agree to have their works printed by the organizer for exhibition display. Original artworks do not need to be shipped. Selected video works will be presented on a screen within the exhibition space.
