Open Seas: Exhibition Opportunity
For International artists
Kala Gallery announces Open Seas a call for entries exhibition open to artists working in all media. Open Seas seeks work by artists who explore the idea of borders from a wide range of perspectives.
From political geography to psychological boundaries, the idea of borders can mean a line, an area, an arc, or a mark where something begins and something ends. When there is a border, a zone appears around this line. Inside the zone is like a chrysalis with a flexible shell. It is in constant flux and a transitional state. It expands on its own merging the edges of the outside. Often it is an area where human desire and curiosity – desire to see what’s not there and desire to change and transform, come to life and/or collapse constantly.
This exhibition asks artists to explore how borders —both atmospheric and conceptual—can be represented in a diverse reach of media. Work will be selected by Mayumi Hamanaka, Kala’s Gallery Manager.
