Opencall : MONDO NAIL ART

Are you an artist, nail technician, photographer, visual artist, designer or performer?

But above all, you love nail art!

Openbach is launching a call for entries for a group exhibition dedicated to this practice, at the crossroads between fashion, craft and artistic expression.  

We're looking for proposals that explore nail art from an artistic perspective. With this exhibition, we aim to showcase creations that go beyond aesthetics to become art forms in their own right. Volume creations, ultra-detailed paintings, futuristic nail designs, oversized or connected nails: these are all avenues we hope artists will explore.

We invite you to apply! 

Les Variations Textiles

Vous êtes artiste du textile ? Vous réalisez des œuvres textiles uniques et innovantes ? Alors cet appel à candidature est fait pour vous !

Pour la suite de son cycle sur les pratiques artistiques, OpenBach vous propose de participer à la seconde exposition collective autour de l’art textile : LES VARIATIONS TEXTILES.

Voici quelques exemples de pratiques attendues : le tufting, l'arm-knitting, la broderie, le tricot, le crochet, le canevas, le tissage, le patchwork, la tapisserie, la sérigraphie sur textile...

Option 1. Design your own card: Create your own card model, complete with feature card, personal illustration and unique reverse side! You can submit up to 6 cards.

Nos corps dessinés

THE EXHIBITION

A discipline par excellence in the art world, life modeling opens the door to the study of morphology, proportions, shadows and gestures of the human body. It's also a wonderful way of capturing the image of another person's body.

In this group show from October 2 to 9, the Openbach gallery will be showcasing the full range of techniques and sensibilities used in live model drawing.  Nos corps dessinés' is also an exhibition that pays tribute to both artists and models.

The exhibition will be divided into three areas : a zone dedicated to the genesis of this practice, a space with a selection of framed works, and finally a patchwork of drawings.
