Exhibitors
The sculptural installations of Fred Eerdekens investigate the interplay between light, materials and language. For over ten years he has produced a body of work that utilizes the way projected light falls on a range of carefully manipulated materials - to create shadows in the form of suggestive, yet ultimately elusive words and texts. From twisted copper wire beginnings, Eerdekens’ materials have expanded to include household commodities, piles of second-hand clothing, and custom-made artificial trees and plants. The ambiguous resonance of his texts, however, has only become deeper.
Fred Eerdekens lives and works in Hasselt, Belgium. His retrospective exhibition ‘The Retina Diamond’ opened at MUHKA, Antwerp in 2002 and was accompanied by the publication of a major monograph. Other recent solo shows have included ‘Golden Delicious’, organized by Bank De Goof, Limburg, Belgium, as well as shows at James Van Damme Gallery, Brussels.
