The Grey Space presents its first group exhibition of the 2026 season delving into the existence, preservation, and archiving of memories in relation to tools of the digital age. We present an assembly of five selected artists, who all tackle this inquiry through different shapes, forms, and mediums, arriving from various academic backgrounds and identities.
Featuring works by Athanor, Ieva Jakusa, Shai Datauker, Dewi Mac Donald and Dmytro Tentiuk.
Ieva Jakusa draws on her Latvian background and her experience in the Netherlands, exploring how cultural traditions shift between resistance, nationalism, and global commodification.
Shai Datauker’s work is motivated by both fascination and unease with technological systems. Datauker’s minimalist approach examines how production, consumption, and restriction shape our realities.
In a dense, poetic constellation of symbols and sensations, Athanor blurs the line between tactility, light, and spiritual transformation. Their work acts as a ritual encounter — a flickering between the digital and the sacred — inviting the audience into hidden landscapes of rhythm and vibration.
Dewi Mac Donald’s practice is guided by transparency and translation. They expose mechanisms and use clear materials to invite viewers into the logic of each piece, reinterpreting ideas through mechanics, image, text, and sound.
Dmytro Tentiuk’s practice investigates how networked interactions and algorithmic processes shape experiences of space, movement, and perception, transforming data and acoustic environments into new audiovisual forms.
This group exhibition is the result of a recent open call for anyone between 18 and 30 years who is not enrolled into an educational (art) program and is part of a special program of The Grey Space in which we support young artists and makers in their careers.
The project is supported by the Municipality of The Hague,
Fonds 21, Stroom and VSB Fund.
