Discover an artist who blends art and technology to visualise light and energy in the world.
In the early 1960s, Liliane Lijn’s kinetic sculptures placed her at the forefront of artists exploring new ways of using technology to see the world in terms of light and energy.
Over a six-decade career, her trailblazing work referenced Surrealist ideas, ancient mythologies, and feminist, scientific and linguistic thought. Equally important to her experimentation are the materials she uses – such as plastics, prisms, feather dusters and copper wire. Arise Alive surveys Lijn’s career from the late 1950s to today, spanning installation, sculpture, painting and moving image.
