Vanising Landscapes Call for Artists
Vanishing Landscapes is an open medium, group exhibition of artists working across painting, photography, sculpture, video, and more, who question the relationship between the environment and self. The selected works are both personal and universal responses to the disappearing natural places that we call home.
Traditionally, a landscape is defined as a natural scenery with mountains, forests, rivers, etc. Exhibited works in Vanishing Landscapes define the term 'landscape' as both the depiction of a natural scenery, as well as the emotional, psychological and cultural landscape that we share with the natural world.
While Vanishing Landscapes expresses a sense of loss, it also embraces a brighter future where the resilience of Mother Nature and the presence of man can remain in harmony. It holds a space for reconstruction and reconnection, and the viewer is asked to slow down, take in the beauty that surrounds them, and engage with the subtle rhythms of a world in flux.
