Open Call: Visible/Invisible

In "Visible/Invisible", we invite you to explore the nuanced interplay between perception and reality through the eyes of contemporary artists. This  photo-based exhibition brings together a diverse collection of artists who share a common pursuit: capturing the subtle, often overlooked aspects of their everyday environments.

The works on display challenge us to reconsider what we deem visible and invisible in our surroundings. Through their keen observations and unique perspectives, these artists reveal the hidden layers of our daily lives; moments and details that often go unnoticed yet resonate with profound significance.

Each photograph in this collection offers a window into the mundane and the extraordinary, presenting the familiar in a new light. By honing in on the minutiae of their natural surroundings, these artists invite viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty and complexity of the ordinary world.

"Visible/Invisible" is not just a showcase of individual vision but a celebration of the collective power of observation and interpretation. It encourages us to see beyond the surface, to recognize the extraordinary in the everyday and to find meaning in what is often dismissed as inconsequential.

We hope this exhibition inspires you to look closer and see deeper, discovering the unseen that connect us to our environment and to each other.

Co-curated with Christine Nguyen.
