Shelter Series/ research exhibition
At Rez Gauche, Brussels, Belgium.
Concluding his residency at Rez Gauche, Ralph Leeten presents a spatial intervention that recontextualizes industrial remnants within the architectural rigor of the gallery. By juxtaposing raw tropical hardwood against the pristine white cube, Leeten explores the friction between our anthropocentric, managed landscapes and a contemporary urge for physical 'de-comforting.' The installation functions as an immersive stage where the paradox of seeking the wild within a controlled framework becomes tangible.
