IN-DEPENDANCE in Antwerp is presenting '#10 Bittersweet' by Christopher Thomas, a current exhibition listed on the gallery’s website with dates running from 14 May to 2 August 2026. The show appears on the IN-DEPENDANCE site under its video section, and the gallery’s mailing update this week notes that it is in its final days alongside a separate IBASHO exhibition by Miho Kajioka.
The most recent newsletter from IBASHO and IN-DEPENDANCE frames the presentation as one of two solo exhibitions entering their last week. It says visitors can come from Friday 31 July to Sunday 2 August, from 2 to 6 pm, and adds that the galleries will then be closed until 6 September. The notice also points to a Japan Market at IBASHO on Saturday 1 August from 1 to 7 p.m., but that event is separate from Thomas’s exhibition at IN-DEPENDANCE.
On the IN-DEPENDANCE website, '#10 Bittersweet' is identified as a current exhibition, with the artist name and title presented together and the dates clearly listed. The gallery’s online exhibition page includes tabs for Overview, Works and Video, indicating a dedicated project page rather than a simple announcement. No further curatorial text is provided in the source material reviewed here, so the public-facing details remain focused on the exhibition title, artist and run.
The Antwerp presentation sits within the wider programming of IN-DEPENDANCE, which shares a city and newsletter context with IBASHO. The mailing signature lists IN-DEPENDANCE at Waalsekaai 59 in Antwerp and gives its opening hours as Thursday to Sunday, 14:00 to 18:00, and by appointment. That information situates the exhibition within the gallery’s regular schedule, while the announcement itself makes clear that the current run is nearing its close.
Christopher Thomas’s exhibition is being shown in a gallery context that the newsletter describes as one of two solo exhibitions across the sibling spaces. However, the only exhibition title linked directly to Thomas in the source material is '#10 Bittersweet'. No artist statement, medium list, or thematic summary is provided in the verified pages, so the public record here is limited to the exhibition’s title and timing.
The timing is straightforward: the exhibition opened on 14 May 2026 and is due to end on 2 August 2026 at IN-DEPENDANCE in Antwerp, Belgium. For visitors planning a final look, the newsletter gives the clearest short-term access window, with visiting hours from 2 to 6 pm on 31 July, 1 August and 2 August.
