This survey exhibition of the work of Liliane Lijn is the most comprehensive institutional solo presentation of the artist thus far. Born in New York in 1939 and based in London since 1966, Lijn has been working at the interface of visual art, literature, and science for more than six decades and has created an extensive oeuvre that includes sculptures, installations, collages, paintings, videos, and performances. Lijn’s multimedia practice has its origins in the kinetic art of the late 1950s as well as in her exploration of Surrealist ideas, ancient mythology, and eastern philosophy. Even her earliest works reveal an interest in unconventional artistic materials—an interest that continues to this day. In 1961, Lijn made first works from Perspex, in which she experiments with reflection, movement, and light. “Electric lights flash on and off plexiglass constructions, creating a tangle of transparent shadows called Echo Lights by the artist,” writes the American poet John Ashbery in 1963 about her exhibition in Paris. “Her Vibrographs are wheels revolving too fast for you to read the words printed on them, but perhaps they affect you unconsciously like subliminal advertising.”
