OPEN CALL | Moments Of Living In Haste
A Space Gallery invites emerging artists to inhabit Moments of Living in Haste—a two-week residency unfolding inside a derelict prison–factory in New York. Once a monument to order and confinement, the site now dissolves into rust, echo, and light. Here, decay and renewal collide; here, tenderness grows inside the absurd.
We ask you to enter the ruins not as a witness, but as a medium. Collect traces, invent rituals, build work from what is broken. Ultimately, the fragments you gather will be returned to the world as a shared exhibition and an open conversation.
