SaveArtSpace New Open Call For Art!

New Open Call For Art!

SaveArtSpace: Wild & Free Curator: Gigi Chen Location: New York, NY Open call ends: May 11, 2026 SaveArtSpace is proud to present Wild & Free, a public art exhibition on billboard ad space in New York, NY, opening June 26, 2026, curated by Gigi Chen. Wild & Free is about the close connection between nature, mythology and civilization. Nature is such a central part of my life and work. I grew up in Queens in New York City and never even saw the woods until I was a young adult. It was such a sublime feeling when I experienced natural darkness in a forest for the first time. That initial excitement and exhilaration of being present with the trees and feeling the rocks beneath my feet is deeply ingrained within myself. As a contemporary wildlife-focused artist and a burgeoning nature photographer living in a big urban city, I have grown to appreciate the beauty and dangers of the natural world as it contends with humankind. Civilization was built on the back of nature and you really cannot separate them. Birds nest on the cornices of buildings and rats run around with the backdrop of neon lights glinting in the distance. Mixed in the disarray, are moments of magic and countless stories of adaptation. - Gigi Chen We invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between March 30 and May 11, 2026 in order to be considered for the exhibition. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in New York, NY. Learn More For All Available Open Calls Please Visit   https://www.saveartspace.org/submit

Bakehouse Art Complex presents Archival Feedback x René Morales

 

Join Archival Feedback for a talk on Bakehouse Freestyle 100, moderated by René Morales, exploring Miami’s history through sound and place at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Wynwood on Wednesday, March 25th from 6 - 8pm. This Event is FREE & Open to the Public, RSVP HERE.

Miami-based artist duo Archival Feedback (Emile Milgrim and Thom Wheeler Castillo) will be joining BAC for an artist talk on Bakehouse Freestyle 100, a recently commissioned sound installation created on the occasion of Bakehouse Art Complex’s 40th anniversary. Moderated by Senior Curatorial Fellow René Morales, the conversation will explore the artists’ approach to sound as a tool for engaging history, landscape, and collective memory.

Centered on Bakehouse’s 100-year-old Art Deco industrial building and its surrounding neighborhoods, Bakehouse Freestyle 100 weaves together two distinct sonic layers: “The Mediated Voice,” a collage of archival recordings tracing the evolution of 20th-century media, and “The Sound of Place,” a composition of environmental field recordings capturing the rhythms of the region. Together, these elements create a dynamic interplay between narrated history and the lived, ambient textures of change.

Drawing from regional archives and digital repositories, the work reflects on Miami’s cultural legacy while holding space for its future. This talk offers an opportunity to hear directly from the artists about their process, research, and ongoing exploration of sound as a means of deep listening and place-based inquiry.

Christian Burnham is a contemporary artist, born in 1973 in Eastbourne, England, and currently based in Hasselt, Belgium. His work fuses stencil art with symbolic realism, serving as both a personal testimony and a reflection on transformation. In 2025, his work was exhibited internationally at the XV Florence Contemporary Biennale and Spectrum Miami, where he was awarded Best New Exhibitor, marking an important milestone in his growing presence on the international art stage.

Subject Matter & Vision

Burnham’s art is driven by an innate creative impulse, functioning as both a meditative practice and a form of storytelling. His work strives to evoke emotion, raise awareness, and offer a voice for recovery. He explores the complexities of addiction, healing, and the human experience, frequently delving into themes of spirituality, philosophical questions about reality, and the influence of the pre-conditioned mind. These inquiries form the foundation of his artistic inspiration.

'Belladonna'

Technique & Process

His artistic process merges street art aesthetics with fine art craftsmanship, using spray paint, acrylics, markers, and Japanese inks in combination with meticulously designed stencils. He works across a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, and metals. A vital part of Burnham’s process involves setting up installations of objects, which he photographs to use as references for his compositions. In other instances, he combines several images or draws by hand to construct a scene, later refining the imagery digitally in Illustrator and/or Photoshop. The finalized designs are then translated into hand-cut stencils used in the finished works.

His approach balances controlled precision with spontaneous expression, allowing the artwork to evolve organically while maintaining a strong conceptual focus. His development as an artist has been shaped by personal transformation, experimentation, and a continuous search for new modes of expression. From his earliest works to his most recent pieces, Burnham has consistently pushed the boundaries of stencil art, evolving both technically and conceptually.

'Resistance'

The Angels & Demons Series

A pivotal moment in his artistic journey came with the Angels & Demons series, which introduced three-dimensional elements and layered symbolic storytelling. Influenced by his recovery from addiction, Burnham began incorporating cut glass bottles into his work, sealing them with epoxy resin to create sculptural features within his paintings. As part of the process, the bottles were refilled with alcohol, symbolically sealing it away forever. Some were adorned with angel wings to signify redemption, while others bore demon wings to represent struggle and temptation. This series marked not only a technical innovation but also a deeply personal meditation on addiction, resilience, and transformation.

Ongoing Practice

Burnham continues to seek moments of discovery in his creative process—those rare instances when a piece surpasses expectation and reveals something unexpected. His work is in constant evolution, combining symbolism, texture, and unconventional materials to create emotionally resonant visual narratives. He remains dedicated to exploring the intersection of street art, fine art, and conceptual storytelling.

Featuring more than 100 works by artists from around the world—including highlights from PAMM’s collection—Get in the Game demonstrates how sport has inspired both personal expression and shared cultural memory. Visitors encounter Ernie Barnes’s soulful depictions of neighborhood basketball games, Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno’s cinematic meditation that follows French soccer star Zinedine Zidane’s in real time over the course of a match, and Tara Mateik’s reenactment of the historic 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Artworks are presented alongside historic sports memorabilia—from 1970s Nike sneakers to original McLaren Racing steering wheels—revealing the intertwined histories of creativity, athleticism, and spectacle.
