About the Open Call

Hosted at one of Milan’s most established interdisciplinary cultural institutions, NOVE brings together artists whose practices engage critically with material, form, concept, and spatial conditions. The exhibition encourages dialogue across disciplines, cultures, and systems of thought. Artists are invited to propose works that respond meaningfully to the architectural and conceptual framework of the exhibition space, particularly works that explore ideas of transition, transformation, and in-betweenness.
