Open Call UNSCRIPTED PURPLEHAZE Autumn–Winter 2026 Print Issue & Berlin Group Exhibition
The image does not always begin with intention, sometimes it forms in the space where control loosens, where timing overtakes composition, and where the frame captures more than it can contain.
UNSCRIPTED is the theme of our Autumn–Winter 2026 print issue and an offline group exhibition in Berlin, presented in collaboration with HAZEGALLERY. We invite photographers, painters, performance artists, installation artists, and image-makers of all kinds to respond to this theme.
We are looking for work that holds tension, presence, and unpredictability. We are drawn not only to the captured moment, but to work where the process, the material, or chance itself leads the artist toward a result that could not have been planned in advance. Staged or not, what interests us is whether the work carries the feeling of something uncontrolled, where construction disappears into presence, and what remains looks like it could not have been planned, even if it was.
Who can apply | open to artists worldwide, at any stage of their career. No agency or gallery representation required.
What to submit | up to 12 works or one cohesive series. Images as JPEG, resolution / min 2000px on the long edge, or a link to a portfolio or website. Include a short project statement of up to 150 words and a brief artist bio.
What selected artists receive | selected projects will appear in the Autumn–Winter 2026 printed edition of PURPLEHAZE and in an offline group exhibition in Berlin, presented in collaboration with HAZEGALLERY. Details on the exhibition date and venue to be announced.
Rights | by submitting, you grant PURPLEHAZE non-exclusive rights to reproduce selected work in the issue and in exhibition-related materials. All other rights remain with the artist.
Selection and timeline | work is reviewed by PURPLEHAZE editorial team and HAZEGALLERY. Deadline: October 11, 2026. Selected artists notified by 15.10.2026. Exhibition date and venue to be announced.
