Description
Columbia City Gallery and SAM are inspired by Ai Weiwei’s relentless pursuit of questioning authority through his work, driving him to be the prominent iconoclast he is today. After a catastrophic 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan in 2008, the Chinese government sought to hide the scale of the disaster, notably by holding back the names of students who had perished. This secrecy emphasized the state’s unwillingness to take accountability, as the substandard construction of government-subsidized schools was a major driver of student deaths. In response to the government’s lack of transparency, Ai mobilized a Citizen’s Investigation to uncover more details on the student casualties. It was a simple inquiry: Who were these students that died? That question spurred a whole movement that brought the community together to remember the departed and demand change. It also led to several iconic works by Ai such as Snake Ceiling and Sichuan Earthquake Names Project, demonstrating to the world the heartbreaking reality of the young lives lost.
Channeling this same kind of investigative spirit, all artists working in 2D and/or 3D media are encouraged to submit artwork completed within the past three years that reflects the theme: Answer As Question. We ask artists to practice rigorous examination, emphasizing work rooted in research, asking questions, and uncovering hidden perspectives through investigation.
Awards: $500 First place submission; $300 Second place submission; and $200 Third place submission.
For a $30 entry fee, you may submit up to 3 pieces of artwork for consideration. Please submit between 1-5 photos per piece of artwork. 1 video per piece of artwork is also allowed.

CALL FOR ARTISTS
BODYSPACES – CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025
London | September 05 – 18, 2025
Deadline: June 27, 2025
ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with YMX Arts, is pleased to announce the open call for BODYSPACES, the first appointment of CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2025, which will take place in London, at ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space (click here to learn more on this venue) from September 05 to September 18, 2025.
CANVAS is an international Art Fair that will showcase collective and solo projects by leading and emerging international artists. The 2025 edition will represent a forum for the direct exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors, artists, photographers, designers and art professionals. The art fair features paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, video art and live performance.
The word “canvas” was used for the first time in Italy in the 14th century, and it has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. Over the centuries, the canvas’ meaning has changed, starting from paintings, through photographic and cinematographic film, exploring the human body, to the digital world. Canvas is the creatives’ common ground, on which they can express themselves.
BODYSPACES is about the perception of our body, the first step for the appropriation of our identity. The bodies are the spaces for human experimentation, for the achievement of humanity and its overtaking. The contemporary bodies are composed of corporal and virtual elements influenced by physical and psychical actions. The artistic work on the body’s hybridisation will create a new concept of humanity starting any kind of possible life in a contemporary multicultural society.
We invite artists to express, through their artistic research, the relationship between the body and human life, celebrating the new identities in contemporary times.
CANVAS INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR consists of 2 main events:
– BODYSPACES from September 05 to September 18, 2025
Deadline for applications is June 27, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
– VISIONS from November 21 to December 04, 2025
Deadline for applications is June 27, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)
Artists interested in taking part in our shows are free to be sponsored and supported by institutions, organisations, governments and their representatives; the logos of their sponsors will be included in all the communication (digital and print) of the events. Artists are free to take part in one or more events.
To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/performances and pictures via e-mail to info@itsliquid.com
