Collection: "Space Folding" Praise Shadows, Boston 2021

October 15 - November 14, 2021 Praise Shadows Art Gallery is pleased to present Space Folding, the Manila-based American artist James Clar’s debut in Boston. Recognized internationally for his diverse art practice that spans digital media, light sculptures, and new technologies, the exhibition highlights his global reach by bringing to Boston artworks created at his studios in Dubai, New York, and Manila. Clar will also introduce new light works made specifically for this exhibition. Employing a wide range of technological production processes, Clar has developed his own open-ended systems involving light and sculpture that explore the ways in which technology can alter narrative forms. What is visible and apparent at first glance is often just the surface layer of a more complex story. Curatorial Lead: Yutong Shi
