Some moments don't announce themselves. You take one street instead of another, you stay five minutes longer, you say yes without thinking. Nothing seems to happen — and then, later, you realise something had already changed.
THE WAY invites work that rests on one of those moments: a small, unnoticed turn that quietly redirected a life. Not cause and effect made dramatic, not the butterfly that starts a storm — just the ordinary fork you only recognised once you'd already passed it. The way out, the way in, the way to.
We're showing these together as a non-linear conversation — many turns, side by side, with no single route through.
What we're looking for. Work that rests on one specific, unnoticed turn. It can be unfinished, unclear, a fragment. Any medium welcome: painting, print, sculpture, installation, performance especially, sound, moving image, interactive and interdisciplinary work.
How it works. Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis and space is limited, so earlier is better. Please note that we will send a formal update regarding your submission status once the review process is complete, regardless of the final outcome.
Shipping. Selected artists are responsible for getting their work to the London venue. For print-based work, we can arrange printing in the UK — so you only need to send the file.
