Daiga Grantina - Four Sides of a Shadow

For her first institutional solo exhibition in Belgium, Daiga Grantina is showing newly-commissioned sculptures situated alongside earlier works. Using these as rhythmic elements, she will create a cycle of works spanning the five interconnected galleries of  exhibition wing ‘Vleugel 58’. Daiga Grantina’s sculptures are composed of simple materials – fabric, wood, string, metal, wax – with careful attention given to their sensory properties. The many uncovered skylights in the exhibition wing will become lenses of illumination for a choreography of hollow, hanging, resting forms.
