April Open Call
Nebulous is an exploration where boundaries dissolve, forms shift, and transformation takes hold. The exhibition invites you to step into the undefined, to embrace the in-between, the shifting, and the unknowable. Boundaries blur, edges dissolve, and forms slip between states, resisting the need for a fixed definition. In this space, transition is not just a moment but a state of being.
Through this exhibition, we explore what emerges when we release certainty. It asks us to dwell in the threshold, to find presence in the liminal, and to recognise that some spaces are not meant to be named, only experienced. Here, nothing is static. Everything is in flux.
Mediums Accepted
Open to all mediums, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, installation, video, performance, and mixed media. However, we are not accepting AI art.
Size Restrictions
2D works should not exceed 91 x 122 cm
3D works should not exceed 150 (height) x 100 (length/width) cm and 20kg. Floor-based sculptures should be stable and not pose a safety hazard.
Video and digital works will be submitted as files (MP4 or MOV). For installation, the artists are required to provide equipment (e.g., monitors, projectors).
Performance art has no size limits, but artists must specify spatial and technical needs, including how much area they will occupy or how the audience will interact with the work.
For installations, provide detailed setup instructions and consult with the gallery regarding size, lighting, or electrical requirements.
