POSTCARD

We invite visual artists, poets, collectors of traces, dreamers, and explorers of everyday life to engage with the postcard.

A postcard is a displaced souvenir, a correspondence between places, moments, people. Passing from hand to hand, it becomes a small intimate archive. It carries a few hurried words, a date, a fold, sometimes even a silence. It creates connections and circulations across continents and oceans, offering the illusion of an excursion through time and space.

We invite you to send up to 3 postcards, whether created, found or collected. We appreciate the fact that postcards will vary in sizes. We prefer to have the work sent to us as postcards and without envelopes.


All received postcards will be exhibited in Paris, in the Marais district, forming together an atlas of emerging creation during the summer of 2026, a constellation of voices, images, gestures and travels.

Postcards must be stamped and sent by post to the gallery’s address

20 rue Meslay 75003 Paris 

before July 14th, 2026.
