Open Call | Art Exhibition in China - Inner Landscapes

Call for Entries
Posted June 1, 2025

Independent & Image Art Space (Chongqing, China) is happy to announce a group art exhibition open call "Inner Landscapes".

Not all landscapes are visible. Some unfold behind closed eyes, shaped not by geography but by memory, emotion, and thought. These inner terrains—subtle, elusive, deeply personal—form a vast and ever-shifting world that reflects how we see, feel, and remember.

Inner Landscapes invites artists to chart the topographies of their inner world:
emotional geographies, psychological contours, dreamlike spaces, and abstract states of being. How does grief become a color field? How might joy be mapped as movement or tension traced as a visual rhythm?

We welcome artworks that explore this interior dimension—whether through figurative representation, abstraction, collage, conceptual forms, or experimental processes. These landscapes might emerge from dreams, trauma, memories, or meditative stillness. They may be expansive or confined, soft or fragmented, luminous or obscure.

This exhibition encourages a deep dive inward—not to escape the outer world, but to reveal how our internal realities shape the way we perceive everything outside of us.

ACCEPTED ART MEDIA
All artistic mediums are welcome, including but not limited to painting, photography, video, digital art, mixed media, collage, and sculpture. Works must be submitted in digital format, and artists must agree to have their works printed by the organizer for exhibition display. Original artworks do not need to be shipped. Selected video works will be presented on a screen within the exhibition space.
