Spanning Delta III
Deadline: 30.09.2026
PAKD Gallery Berlin shares its third edition of their annual open call exhibition, Spanning Delta III. Artists selected from a peer reviewed body of applications from across the globe will exhibit a collection of works examining a broad spectrum of themes, as well as join PAKD's official artist roster. In the past, the artwork selection underscored our relationship to memories, experiences of digital worlds and the effect this has on our understanding of relational connection, behavioral changes and adaptation, migration, and how our bodies are “managed” by the boundaries we create, environmentally activated and “geoartistic experiments that considers resource extraction across time art,” tactile exploration, and life’s final moments.
The word in the exhibition title “Delta” invokes the branching flow of rivers, where currents disperse and converge, carrying sediments of change. In this spirit, Spanning Delta III is a confluence of perspectives, a gathering of voices that reminds us of the transformative power of art to span distances, bridge boundaries, and carve new paths of relation.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CLOSELY
FIRST ROUND VOTING:
PAKD's peer review process begins with using the Anonymuze platform.
We use anonymuze in our first round of voting only. These results will be emailed to you by the Anonymuze robot from this platform. This email is short but NOT very sweet, simply stating, "Application Accepted!" or "Application Denied!" It is not personal. It is anonymous, and that's by design. Should your application have been denied we hope you consider trying again in the future and joining us in our other offerings.
SECOND STAGE VOTING:
If your application makes it to our second stage of voting, your work will be presented to a second random sample of our Jury.
THE JURY
The jury is composed of your peers, other artists from PAKD's roster of artists. They do not discuss amongst each other, they only vote on what they see.
Exhibition: 04.09.2026 - 27.09.2026
Formability: The Plastic Limit of Figures
Exhibition Dates: 07.08.26 - 28.08.26
Opening August 7. | 18:00
Concept:
Formability: The plastic limit of figures, brings together the oil paintings of Le Liu and Adam H. Marchand to confront the paradoxes of the contemporary male form. Inspired by Renaissance, Baroque, and Mannerist traditions, both artists employ deliberate, slow methods as an act of resistance against today's fleeting digital noise, AI hallucinations, and information overconsumption. Rather than presenting masculinity as a monolith of power, their works reveal the body as a vulnerable site of trepidation, caught between historical weight and an uncertain future.

Le gained a BA in Fine Art in 2019 at Hubie University at Wuhan, and Master in Letters in Fine Art from The Glasgow School of Art in 2021. He works and lives in Scotland.
