The initiative seeks sculptural, performance-based, or action-oriented works that reimagine household objects like furniture and utensils when placed outdoors, examining shifts between private and public realms. The exhibition is scheduled for February 10, 2026, in a street or park, likely in Kensington, with a submission deadline of January 26, 2026.
