Get matched →Shaping the View explores the conditions that influence how we see, interpret, and experience artworks. The gallery seeks artists whose work explores the factors that shape how we see and understand what is before us, including works that question or complicate the way something is presented, perceived, or interpreted.
Artists are invited to consider what shapes a view through framing, composition, perspective, spatial arrangement, technology, context, visibility, concealment, or the relationship between viewer and work. The work does not need to address these ideas explicitly or theoretically; they may emerge through image-making, material, composition, spatial relationships, technology, subject matter, or the way an artwork directs the viewer's attention.
Submissions welcome across a broad range of media, including but not limited to: photography, painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video and moving image, digital and new media, mixed media, textile and material-based practices, conceptual and site-responsive practices.
The exhibition will be presented at Zhen Yi Gallery, 17 rue Chapon, 75003 Paris, in the vibrant Marais district, one of the city's main contemporary art destinations. The gallery is a Paris-based nomadic contemporary art gallery and curatorial research platform founded in 2025 by curator Evgeniya Makarshina.
