We are inviting visual and new media artists to submit their artwork for the exhibition program of the 8th Student International Film Festival.

We encourage a view of the body as productive and creative, the body as a process that […]

The ‘Post Box’ long term exhibition project creates international visibility and interaction between artists during the traveling restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic. Artworks sent to the postbox of the Hypercube Space will be exhibited in a 105cm (W) x 170cm (H) x 33cm (D) public display window located next to the postbox itself. By hacking this advertisement display window, this idea engages with the art audience in the heart of central Lisbon, now home to a growing international community who have chosen the city as their home. This is in keeping with Hypercube’s manifesto to expand the notion of the artspace. Every month another international artist’s work will be selected and presented for a 4 week period as part of a rolling open call for submissions.

Please ensure the work can be easily posted (e.g. foldable, rolled, boxed, etc.) Expensive shipment […]
