Open Call for the Upcoming Exhibition:

Fauna Aquatica: On Fluid Existence

September 3rd - October 28th

The ocean is mysterious place, creatures with unexpected forms in a world we know so little about. There is beauty and intrigue here in the unknown.

This show aims to explore the sheer variety of bodies and lifeforms present in our oceans, to celebrate the odd and fantastic, and to celebrate the mysterious place that holds our planet's ecosystem in the balance.

How can we dig deeper into this mysterious environment and shine a light on the denizens of our oceans? What don’t we know? What are you curious about? What beauty can we find in this alien landscape?

Theme/Description: ocean creatures, mystery, the unknown, the alien.
