Los Angeles, CA – The Bridge Arts Foundation proudly announces the third edition of its Open Call Exhibition Program, which is designed to provide support for emerging artists. In its 3rd edition, the ‘Soliloquy’ Open Call Exhibition features 18 talented artists selected from over 100 submissions through a process involving art professionals.
These artists will showcase their work at The Scholart Selection, The Bridge Arts Foundation’s partnered Art Gallery located in Los Angeles from July 13th to August 17th, 2024.
Featured artists include Ryan Bautista, Michele Benzamin-Miki, Ming Chen, Debra Disman, Deanna Dorangrichia, Somaya Etemad, Lanyi Gao, Steve Gavenas, Shanguo Jia, Antonio Kim, Rosie Kim, Hwichan Ko, Vionna Lam, Kai Mao, Janice Nakashima, Isabella Ronchetti, Christopher Lloyd Tucker, and Xiaoxiao Wu.
The 18 featured artists in the exhibition respond to the theme of “soliloquy” through various forms and mediums, presenting their unique journeys of inner exploration.
“Soliloquy” is a solitary discourse with oneself, an intimate dialogue that transcends the confines of external perception. It captures the journey of introspection and self-discovery, where one navigates the labyrinthine corridors of one’s own mind, seeking clarity among the tumult of thoughts and emotions. During their inner reflections, the individuals grapple with existential questions, honestly confronting their fears, desires, and vulnerabilities in solitude.
The 18 artworks showcased in “Soliloquy” also demonstrate the diversity and depth of soliloquy. It is not only a personal dialogue within oneself but also a significant pathway to understanding oneself and the world. Beyond the individual, these artworks collectively underscore soliloquy’s capacity to connect the individual’s inner world with external realities, offering insights that resonate with broader societal issues and enrich human connections.
Special thanks to our jury members, Charles Christopher Hill and Song Xin, as well as curator Tia Xu, for their dedicated work. We also extend our gratitude to Li Tang and Art Yourself Atelier (AYA) for the media support.
