Open Call for visual artists to submit works for participation in the 5th annual international exhibition of the Infinite Forms series, to be held in Athens under the curation of Paris Kapralos.

The official languages of the exhibition are Greek and English. A bilingual commemorative exhibition catalogue-book will be published in digital format, and the exhibition will also be presented online through the ARTgrID platform for one month.

Eligible works. The exhibition is open-themed. Artists may submit paintings, sculpture, mixed media works, photography, digital art, collage, textile/fiber art, mosaics, augmented reality artworks, video art, and installations.

Conceptual framework. The exhibition “Hybrid Identities” approaches upcycling both as a material practice and as a cultural condition. Here, the hybrid is neither an exception nor an aesthetic peculiarity, but a fundamental way through which human culture evolves. Our era continuously produces hybrids. Materials, technologies, cultures, images, and narratives combine, collide, and merge. Creative reuse represents one of the most characteristic forms of this process. The exhibition explores how heterogeneous elements can form a new unity without losing their origins. The artwork does not conceal its contradictions. Instead, it transforms them into creative force. Upcycling is understood here as the production of new cultural organisms. The old and the new, the natural and the artificial, the personal and the collective coexist within a unified body. Contemporary art constantly renegotiates the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, the handmade and the digital, the traditional and the contemporary, the local and the global, demonstrating that creation often emerges through the encounter of different worlds. Artists have always transformed otherness into new forms of unity. Perhaps this remains one of art’s most significant contributions to human civilization.

About the “Infinite Forms” exhibition series. Infinite Forms is an international exhibition series conceived by art curator Paris Kapralos, exploring the material and conceptual recycling of human culture through art. The series was launched in 2023 and presents one exhibition annually, aiming to promote artists who create works based on creative reuse and/or who investigate the reinterpretation and renewed meaning of cultural objects, symbols, and images.
