While the journeys that have led to the creation of these works may be personal or autobiographical in tone, they often evoke fairytales, children’s literature and the surreal worlds of Studio Ghibli’s animations.
Inspired by the essay In Praise of Shadows (1933) by Japanese writer Jun’ichiro Tanizaki, the exhibition exists in darkness. You will be invited to select a torch on entry to discover works embedded in a cardboard labyrinth, designed by renowned and seminal architect Yona Friedman.
Exhibiting artists: Alice Anderson, Ayo & Oni Oshodi, Blanch & Shock, Caleb Morrison, Edward Wakefield, Catherine Hyland, Cécile Azoulay, Corinne Felgate, Eloise Fornieles, Emma Hart, Emma Rendel, Helen Walker, Ioanna Pantazopoulou, Kate Rowles, Mathew Sawyer, Melanie Wilson, Michael Allen & Daniel Schwitzer, Reka Reisinger, Susanne Ludwig, They Are Here and Yona Friedman.
