Title & Description
OUT OF THIS WORLD: Call for Visual Artists (Hybrid Exhibition)
Moon Art Fair has launched an open call for its upcoming dual-format exhibition titled "OUT OF THIS WORLD" (German: Nicht von dieser Welt). Inviting artists to push past traditional boundaries of reality, the call seeks imaginative interpretations of distant galaxies, surreal dreamscapes, spiritual realms, and abstract otherworldly dimensions. The exhibition features a two-tier presentation strategy: a month-long virtual 3D showcase on the KUNSTMATRIX platform followed by a physical pop-up group exhibition at Galerie PopUp Horst in Hamburg, Germany.
