Drawn from the ARTER Collection, the group exhibition In Its Own Shadow is conceived around thematic dualities such as inside and outside, public and private, presence and absence, memory and oblivion, void and body; and seeks out the grey areas that arise from the interplay between these notions. The exhibition, which comprises works by 25 artists, consists of two complementary sections that spread across Arter’s entrance and -1 floor galleries.

Embodying qualities implied by the exhibition’s title such as invisibility, uncertainty, concealment, and ambiguity, the works that form In Its Own Shadow act as an invitation for the viewers to pursue the traces that take shape in their minds, to search for what remains in shadows, and to engage in an exhibition experience that will be enriched by their own mental and emotional participation.

Often starting off with ordinary, everyday materials, objects, or situations, yet transforming them with unconventional and unexpected interventions, these works favour shadow over light, the unknown over the obvious, and the fragment over the whole. Through methods such as veiling, reduction, repetition and displacement or through the interactions and affinities they establish within the space, the works in the exhibition lead us into a misty field of perception for the pursuit of new meanings.
