A yellow background poster with white text promoting an open call for artists to create apparatus hooks made from waste, featuring a wooden hook in the center, and details about the submission deadline and exhibition date.

OPEN CALL for entries from artists and designers both established and emerging:

APPARATUS is an exhibition that challenges artists to explore the intersection of function and art.
We seek to showcase how discarded materials can be transformed into objects of purpose, beauty and
narrative. Each piece must not only be a compelling sculpture but also serve the simple, utilitarian
purpose of a hook.


Designers wishing to be included in the exhibition are welcome to send an existing project or proposal
with their portfolio to estudiomortovivo@gmail.com. View the rules and guidelines here.

Deadline: 21 November 2025

Selections due in Porto, Portugal: 13 February 2026

Exhibition date: 6 March 2026 (will remain up throughout March)
