Compete Emptiness 2022: Call for Artists

Exhibizone Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Exhibizone - Emptiness 2022

Opportunity Description

International Deadline: September 26, 2022 – Now in its second year, Emptiness encourages artists working in any medium to share their artistic interpretation of “Emptiness” and join us in yet another top-rated show by Exhibizone that so far has attracted 3,800,000+ visitors globally. Visualize emptiness in an exhibition and win cash prizes.

THEME
Emptiness has been a word with many meanings, aspects and feelings from different viewpoints, in various cultures.

Cambridge vocabulary uses “not sincere”, “sad feeling”, and “a state with no emotion or purpose” for emptiness, while in Buddhism it is called “the true nature of things and events.”

Lao Tzu in Tao Te Ching artistically quotes: “We mold clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that makes the vessel useful.”

While a western view of emptiness often seems to be negative, in some eastern philosophies, it represents a state of stillness and placidity to see through the illusion, which represents the “mirror of the universe” and the “pure mind”.

The COVID-19 virus spread forced us to isolation, and we all faced some sort of emptiness, either due to losing a loved one or feeling lonely during the long-lasting lockdowns, or even through finding ourselves, appreciating our own company and observing a state of stillness.

Does the word “Emptiness”, and the feelings attached to it, brings you a valuable serenely and tranquil quiet or it is equal to nothingness, depression, loneliness, and despair?

On display October 10 to November 10, 2022.
