Resonance: Layers of Being This exhibition explores how identity, memory, and emotion overlap, creating layered experiences of the self. We are looking for works—painting, sculpture, video, installation—that engage with personal or collective histories, emotional echoes, or the invisible forces shaping perception. Pieces should reflect the complexity and interconnectedness of human experience.

Resonance: Layers of Being
Contemporary exhibition space — Bermondsey Square, SE 1, London

Resonance: Layers of Being explores how identity, memory, and emotion intersect, creating complex and layered experiences of the self. We invite artists working in painting, sculpture, video, installation, and mixed media to propose works that explore personal or collective histories, emotional resonances, and the invisible forces that shape our understanding of ourselves.

The exhibition will take place in a large contemporary space in Bermondsey Square (Central London, near Tower Bridge). Its generous scale — approximately 2000 sqm — allows room for ambitious artworks, immersive installations, and pieces that benefit from an open, spacious environment. The show will run for over four weeks during the Christmas period, offering artists sustained visibility at a culturally active time of year.

Viewings are arranged by appointment, encouraging intentional, focused engagement with the work. Rather than fast-moving footfall, this approach supports meaningful encounters with collectors, curators, and art-interested visitors. Appointments are already being booked throughout the exhibition period, including Christmas Day. We had over 2000 visitors at our last exhibitions, which lasted for only two weeks.

A public opening night will welcome guests into the space with drinks, alongside a performance by a professional dancer and choreographer, creating an atmospheric dialogue between body and artwork. Artists are also invited to participate in a mix-and-meet gathering during the exhibition — an opportunity to connect with fellow exhibitors, curators, and invited audiences.
In addition, artist talks will be programmed, allowing selected artists to share insight into their practice, themes, and methods, encouraging dialogue between artists and attendees.

Promotion will take place locally through printed materials and online through the curator’s Instagram platform with 11.9K followers, alongside targeted promotional campaigns aimed at collectors and art-interested audiences. Each participating artist will receive a certificate of participation.

Artists may submit up to five works, with no size limitations. Larger bodies of work may also be considered due to the scale of the venue. Works may be available for sale; standard commission applies, with full terms provided upon acceptance.

The venue has secure entry, ensuring works remain protected throughout the exhibition. Installation and de-installation will be carried out by the curatorial team with care and attention.

There is a participation fee of £300, payable within seven days of acceptance.

This opportunity is organised by MA Fine Art Monica  Mardare as an independent London curator committed to creating thoughtful, sensory exhibitions that foreground emotional depth, introspection, and the complex layering of human experience. The intention is to offer artists a meaningful platform in Central London — one that values clarity of intention, experimentation, and the unfolding of the inner world within community.

We warmly welcome submissions from artists whose work resonates with the layered and shifting nature of being.
