Open call for Artists & writers
all artworks by artist Nichola Rodgers - www.nicholarodgers.com
Haus A Rest invites artists and writers to submit work for our upcoming exhibition and publication on the theme "Ephemeral Art."
This theme celebrates the beauty of the temporary, the fleeting, and the impermanent
From art made with natural elements to performances that vanish in the moment, to writing that captures transient emotions—"Ephemeral Art" explores creations that exist only briefly but leave lasting impressions.
Ephemeral art is a form of artistic expression intended to be short-lived and transient. The term "ephemeral" refers to something transitory or short-lived. Ephemeral art is meant to be experienced in the moment and exists only in memory once it has passed.
Here are some characteristics of ephemeral art:
Intended to disappear: Ephemeral art is created to disappear, deteriorate, decompose, or self-destruct.
Site-specific: Ephemeral art is often created for a specific location.
No lasting object: Ephemeral art is usually a one-time occurrence and cannot be preserved as a lasting object in a museum or gallery. Unless it has been recorded on a separate medium.
Powerful message: Ephemeral art can convey a powerful message about the impermanence of the world.
Symbolism and significance: Ephemeral art can access layers of symbolism and significance.
The term "ephemeral art" became prominent in the 1960s with the Fluxus group. Artists like Joseph Beuys were interested in creating art that existed outside of the traditional gallery and museum structure.
What We’re Looking For
"Ephemeral Art" can be interpreted in countless ways:
Visual art using perishable or transient materials
Writing that captures fleeting thoughts, emotions, or moments
Art or writing about the passage of time, memory, or impermanence
Multimedia or performance pieces that are time-bound or event-based, emphasizing the art of the moment
Whether it’s physical, digital, or conceptual, we want works that highlight the fragile, beautiful nature of impermanence.
Submission Guidelines:
We welcome submissions across various media:
Visual Art: Photography, sculpture, installations, natural or perishable materials, and temporary public art.
Writing: Poetry, prose, and essays that explore ephemeral themes.
Multimedia/Other: Short videos, performance documentation, and digital art that emphasizes the temporary.
Submission Requirements:
Visual Art: Submit up to 3 images (jpeg ), with titles, dimensions, and a short description of each piece (max 150 words).
Writing: Submit up to 3 pieces in .docx or .pdf format (max 1,000 words each) with a short explanation on how the piece embodies the ephemeral. Can include images
Additionally:
Artist/Writers BIO (150 words) and a maximum(200 words) discussing your connection to the theme.
Deadline for Submission: 4th Feb 2025
Your work will not be accepted if you do not provide the requested items. If accepted your work will be featured in the Zine, Instagram, and FB for at least one month, and very likely for several. We do not guarantee to keep your work listed after the issue has ended.
