In Praise of Shadows is a group exhibition in Art Space Tetem – taking place between September 18th and November 16th – assembled by art collective iii and inspired by the eponymous book written by Jun’ichirō Tanizaki about the beauty of dark and shadow in the Japanese tradition. The book not only describes Tanizaki’s nostalgia for the darkness of traditional Japanese homes, but also the efforts to combine new technologies with old materials and habits. A careful selection of materials, simple forms and personal combinations of new and old technologies invite us to open up our senses, to create space with our bodies and to actively explore the details that are hidden in the depth of our perception.

With work by Wen Chin Fu, Mariska de Groot, Matteo Marangoni, Jonathan Reus, Jeroen Uyttendaele, Dieter Vandoren en Dewi de Vree.
