We invite young artists to engage with this landscape, where industrial remnants and natural regeneration intersect. Time and archaeology are approached as entangled, material, and open-ended processes. The project draws on Elizabeth Grosz’s notion of material temporality and Karen Barad’s theory of spacetime materialization, treating the site as a fluid “living archive,” constantly shifting between past and future, human and non-human, geology and affect.
We welcome proposals that respond to these layered conditions through critical, poetic, or material approaches—exploring thresholds between disciplines, temporal scales, and ontologies, or intervening, attuning, and co-existing within the site itself.
Deadline: July 25, 2025, 23:59 (UK time)
Installation Period: August 5 – August 20, 2025
Exhibition Duration: Works may be temporary or permanent, depending on the proposal.

This is a suspended open-pit mine, measuring 100 × 50 × 25 meters, with a water depth of 20 meters at the bottom.
This rocky hill was once the floor of an ancient ocean. Today, it forms a sharp 90-degree turn, cutting into the earth like a riverbed, with its entrance facing directly toward the highway.
