Open Call for Artists

“The space we love is unwilling to remain permanently enclosed. It deploys and appears to move elsewhere without difficulty; into other times, and on different planes of dream and memory.” – Gaston Bachelard, “House and Universe,” The Poetics of Space

The exhibition aims to explore spaces beyond their physical dimensions as static arrangements of surfaces. Our experiences, memories, and imaginations always overlay the space because we bring them with us; we inhabit the space, transcending its geometric dimensions. “Always container, sometimes contained.” Just as Bachelard sees the house as the portal to metaphors of imagination, we see the exhibition space as a portal to portals, a site of contingent relations, a space to imagine it otherwise. On the overlapping fields of dream and memory, we find intimacy and security within the dynamic state of flux.
