OPEN CALL - Artists - Deadline 15 December 2024

Eye becomes water will be presented as a series of three exhibitions from mid-February 2025 to the end of June 2025. These exhibitions will be either solos, duos or trios, accompanied by a public programme of events, developed in collaboration with exhibiting artists. We welcome students, recent graduates, emerging and more established artists practising in any form.

Eye becomes water, the 2025 exhibition programme explores waiting as its conceptual starting point. This draws from Het Paviljoen’s history — one that is primarily passed down through oral storytelling and void of archival documentation. However, this void allows for speculative practices of/in the space. The position, and the action, of waiting, form the broad conceptual framework to guide artistic responses to the exhibition space. Waiting is of subjective multitudes — it is a mode of alertness to our surroundings, it is a practice of care for others, it is a revolutionary act of resilience against ongoing struggles, it is inflected with issues of gender, race, class, and location.

Deadline: Sunday 15 December, 18:00
