Description

We are looking for conceptual artists whose work is primarily centered on ideas, processes, or gestures rather than material objects. This could be an action, a situation, a system, a spatial or social intervention, research, or a thought experiment—anything that can be conveyed through a textual description and does not necessarily require a physical object or performance.

========================== ABOUT THE PROJECT

ONE HOUR is an experimental exhibition where each work exists for only 60 minutes before being covered by the next. We use a wall in an urban environment, where every hour, one artist posts a description of their conceptual work. If necessary, one image may be included to help illustrate the idea.
This exhibition is not just a platform for individual works but a conceptual statement in itself. The final piece of the day serves as a manifesto of the project, documenting its ephemeral nature.

========================== WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- Conceptual artists whose work transcends traditional media and object-based art, focusing on ideas, processes, or gestures.
- Individuals who are deeply passionate about experimental formats and eager to work outside conventional boundaries.

========================== REQUIREMENTS

- Participation is free
- The location remains secret until the day of the exhibition.
- You or your representative must be physically present in New York City on the day of the exhibition.
- Each artist is given one hour within a one-day exhibition.
- The exhibition will be documented in a catalog and digital archive.

========================== HOW TO APPLY

Send an email to gallery@kirilvayer.com with:
- A brief description of your artistic and conceptual practice (one paragraph).
- A description of the conceptual art project you would like to present (one paragraph).
- One optional image if it helps to illustrate the concept.

Deadline: March 7, 2025
The exhibition will take place on March 8, 2025, in New York, NY, USA.

ONE HOUR is more than an exhibition—it’s a living process unfolding on the streets of the city, where ideas ignite and disappear. It’s a space that values nonconformity, intellectual boldness, and artistic gestures that defy convention. Are you with us?
