DEADLINE: 05/07/2025

We are looking for artists who treat objects as subjects. If your practice explores the internal logic of materials or investigates non-anthropocentric relationships between objects and humans, we warmly invite you to participate in OOO.
This exhibition uses object-oriented ontology (OOO) as its curatorial framework. We focus on the agency of objects—no longer passive tools for human use, but autonomous entities with meaning and the right to remain silent.
Exhibition Details:
- Exhibition Dates: July 15-18, 2025
- Curated by: YDMD Studio
- Produced by: Synonym Lab
Link to apply HERE
Deadline: July 5, 2025 (Rolling review – early submission encouraged)
If you've ever wanted to let objects speak, this is their chance to take the stage. We want to hear from the object, through you.
Conditions:
We are calling for artists who:
- Use materials not just as carriers, but as conceptual language
- Are interested in themes such as non-human perspectives, material ontology, and the perception of existence
- Challenge traditional modes of display and work with installation, moving image, sound, or text
- Observe and interpret the subtle dynamics between object–object and object–human relationships
Eligible formats include (but are not limited to):
- Painting
- Installation / Experimental Video / New Media
- Material Research / Text-based Works / Sound Art
- Reassembled Everyday Objects / Found Object Collage
- Works interacting with tools or technological devices
