EN EM Art Space: Off the Grid

OFF THE GRID

This exhibition explores alternative ways of engaging the grid, challenging its discursive and conceptual confines and liberating its structural coordinates through form, color, tone and concept. The exhibition seeks artists who conceptually promote ways to resist the grid, offering possibilities to live off the grid. Works can be any 2D, 3D or time-based mediums including but not limited to: works on paper, prints, books, photography, paintings, sculptures, video and installation. There are no size restrictions.
