The Body as Threshold
We invite emerging and mid-career artists to submit works for our new group exhibition The Body as Threshold, exploring how the body exists in states of passage and transformation — between inside and outside, private and public, human and environment. Rather than treating the body as a fixed subject, the exhibition approaches it as a crossing point: a site where emotion, movement, and perception shift from one state to another.
We welcome works that capture the experience of being “in between” — moments of transition, change, or emergence.
About the project
The exhibition will take place in November at 17 rue Chapon, 75003, Paris, in the city’s vibrant Marais district— near the Centre Pompidou — with expected footfall from both local art audiences and international visitors.
It continues the gallery’s curatorial focus on states of transformation and perception, following Scentless Depths (September, 2025) — an international group show exploring water as resonance and invisible presence.
