Liliane Lijn, Cosmic Dramas
mima, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art
30th November 2012 - 28th February 2013
Mima is proud to premiere Cosmic Dramas, three important installations by Liliane Lijn, long recognised as one of the most interesting and innovative artists on the international art scene. From the early 1980s, Lijn began to develop a new female archetype, using a broad range of materials, media and new technologies, referencing mythological beings and merging them with images from both nature and industry. Bridging art and drama, Conjunction of Opposites [Woman of War & Lady of the Wild Things], The Bride and The Electric Bride are 'the beginnings of a consciousness of spectacular feminist contemporary art'. The exhibition is accompanied by a publication, in which texts by Althea Greenan and Guy Brett are accompanied by drawings and excerpts from the artist's notebooks.
