OPEN CALL FOR EMERGING ARTISTS | Moments of Grammatical Collapse

Eligibility:

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.

Moments of Grammatical Collapse is a contemporary art exhibition that confronts these ruptures. Through moving images, soundscapes, digital experiments, material interventions, and performative gestures, participating artists address unstable structures and speculative grammars. This is not simply about disruption—it is about testing the limits of perception.

Presented through a cross-continental curatorial dialogue between A Space Gallery (New York) and DFFF Studio (London), the exhibition operates in a hybrid model, combining physical presentation with digital outreach to amplify global resonance.

In collapse, we search for new syntax, temporalities, and imaginaries. We do not rebuild—we dive in, sense, and recompose.

Eligibility:Open to all visual artists working in any medium.
