Lutz Bacher's first museum survey exhibition at P.S.1, New York, until 14 Sep

Exhibition Description:

This is Lutz Bacher's first museum survey exhibition, which spans several decades of the artist's wide-ranging conceptual practice. Her career is marked by restrained yet comprehensive interventions into exhibition frameworks, highlighting a particular pairing of work and context.

Bacher's works from the mid 1970s to the present are organized according to the sequential layout. The exhibition navigates from still to moving, spatial to flat, and silent to loud, emphasizing Bacher's positioning of the image, which, although persistent in its mirroring and shaping of experience, is also consistently engaged in a process of imminent breakdown.

A deliberate subversion of apparent signature style is also related to the unstable status of the image that Bacher insinuates through works in photography, painting, drawing, and video.
