Over IBASHO & IN-DEPENDANCE by IBASHO
IBASHO means 'a place where you can be yourself' in Japanese. IBASHO is a gallery in Antwerp that opened her doors in March 2015, showing fine art Japanese photography ranging from works by well-known Japanese photographers to younger contemporary Japanese artists as well as works from Western photographers who were inspired by Japan. IBASHO hopes to show the versatility and beauty of Japanese photography in its many guises, from the raw and unpolished to the minimalist and still. As photo books are an important medium for presenting photography in Japan, IBASHO also deals in new and antiquarian Japanese photo books. Recently IBASHO has started publishing its own photo books together with Paris-based publisher the(M) éditions.
IN-DEPENDANCE is a new gallery founded by Martijn van Pieterson and Annemarie Zethof, owners of IBASHO gallery. Situated at the Waalsekaai in Antwerp, the gallery will mainly focus on photography, but will also present other visual arts, where materiality, craftsmanship, and an understated aesthetic are center-stage. Contrary to the Japanese focused gallery IBASHO, IN-DEPENDANCE will mostly show works by Western artists.
IN-DEPENDANCE is complementary to IBASHO gallery, serving as a multi purpose artspace where diverse cultural events can take place. IN-DEPENDANCE will not only work with a roster of artists, but will also invite artists on a project basis and other galleries to showcase specific artists that fit. In addition, IN-DEPENDANCE also houses prints from IBASHO's stock and the stock of books published by IBASHO & the(M) éditions.
"In all the years searching for top talent and masterful photography related to Japan, we have come across interesting projects and artists whose work would fit perfectly within IBASHO's programme were it not for the lack of a link to Japan. IN-DEPENDANCE will allow us to show these works without watering down IBASHO's focus.”
