Don’t Ask, Just Manifest: PP x Save Art Space

We were invited by Save Art Space founder Travis Rix to curate an iteration of their ongoing billboard exhibition programs. The open call’s theme of “Real-topia” encouraged artists to submit works that felt connected to the core of our platform’s ethos to strive for prosperity and personal success - however that may look.

Our curatorial prompt:

What is your dream reality? What supercharges your creative flow every day? PARADICE PALASE is seeking artworks that respond to the theme of “real-topia”. Our platform was founded on a dream for more transparency and clarity for artists in the contemporary art ecosystem. This was our utopia, and we’re growing closer to it every day with our digital membership network. So, we are in turn seeking artworks that hypothesize on, propose, manifest, or proliferate your own profound wishes that you dare ask of the universe. From natural reclamation to daring ecological visions to playful celebrations - what uncanny and incredible future(s) do you seek through your work?

From the over 300 submissions, we selected 3 artists - Jacob Hicks, Madjeen Isaac, and Gemma Sattar (shown above) - and one work each by them to be printed larger-than-life on a unique billboard and displayed across Brooklyn, NY.
