‘It is the business of art to find the
patterns in the noise’ – Liliane Lijn
The exuberant diversity of form of Liliane Lijn’s work has both excited and perplexed the art world since she burst onto London’s art scene in the mid-1960s.
One of the pioneers of the transformation of scientific thought into art, Liliane Lijn traverses the regions of light, sound, movement, performance, text, video and object.
Her explorations have included the early light sculptures and 'Poem Machines' of the 1960s, through artists’ books such as Crossing Map (1983), her performing Goddesses (exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1986), large-scale public sculptures such as the controversial Earth Sea Light Koan (1997) on the Isle of Wight, and the intimacy and power of her recent work.
This book, accompanied the exhibition ‘Liliane Lijn: Light and Memory’ at the Rocca di Umbertide in Italy.
The distinguished curators and writers Hilary Spurling, Enrico Mascelloni, Alessandro Vestrelli and Lara-Vinca Masini each contribute essays discussing the different facets of Lijn’s work, while the email exchange between the artist and the critic/curator Guy Brett is an intimate and frank dialogue about her ideas.
