OPEN CALL: ART-FURNITURE LAND at The Bomb Factory Holborn

**please note the deadline for this has moved to 7th August due to a large volume of submissions**

This summer, The Bomb Factory Art Foundation is pleased to present Art-Furniture Land, a group exhibition exploring the shifting boundary between fine art and furniture. Drawing inspiration from the conceptual provocations of artists like Donald Judd, Franz West, and Pipilotti Rist, the show features work by contemporary practitioners who approach furniture not simply as a functional object, but as form, invitation, and experience.

At the heart of the exhibition is a questioning of how we live with art - and how art, in turn, lives with us. The works on display subvert conventional ideas of furniture as passive or utilitarian, instead framing it as sculptural, sensory, and often participatory. Chairs that refuse to be sat on. Tables that echo ritual altars. Cabinets that conceal more than they contain. These hybrid objects are at once familiar and strange: they carry the silhouette of domesticity, but behave more like sculpture, installation, or performance.

Across sculpture, design, installation, and object-based performance, Art-Furniture Land raises critical questions about form, function, and feeling. What happens when a chair demands contemplation? When a lamp performs? When a bed becomes a site of political rest? The exhibition challenges the audience not just to observe, but to dwell - momentarily - in a world where furniture becomes a vehicle for storytelling, transformation, and thought.

If you are a London-based artist or designer/maker, and would like to submit work to be considered for this exhibition, please send a proposal including images to:
