Open Call for Artists | “SAVE / DIE / RETRY​” at A Space Gallery

SAVE / DIE / RETRY Exhibition Dates: Oct 28, 2026 - Nov 6, 2026 Application Deadline: Oct 11, 11:59 PM (EST), 2026 Location: A Space Gallery, 13 Grattan St, #402, Brooklyn, NY 11206 Application Fee: $25 About the Exhibition Digital systems allow us to experience time differently. A game can be saved and reloaded. A world can restart. A character can die and return. A decision can be undone, and an earlier state can be restored as if what happened afterward never occurred. But the person experiencing that system does not reset. Each return carries something from what came before: memory, attachment, anticipation, regret, familiarity, or knowledge. We may enter the same room, encounter the same character, or repeat the same action, yet the experience has already changed. SAVE / DIE / RETRY explores this tension between systems that can reset and experiences that cannot. The exhibition considers what remains when a world, body, relationship, identity, or system begins again. What happens when something can technically return to an earlier state, while the memory of what happened continues to shape how we experience it? Accepted Media: Works do not need to be digital or directly related to video games . Painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, sound, performance, digital and new-media work, and other forms are welcome. We are especially interested in work that approaches the theme conceptually rather than simply using gaming or digital aesthetics.
