The Sky as Studio: Yves Klein and His Contemporaries
Centre Pompidou Metz
July 18 2020 – February 1 2021
Liliane Lijn’s Liquid Reflections is exhibited at the Centre Pompidou Metz for their exhibition dedicated to Yves Klein’s idea of the sky as workshop or studio, revealing the aesthetic affinities he developed, outside the New Realists’ movement, with a constellation of artists, from the Gutai group in Japan to the spatial artists in Italy, from the ZERO artist group in Germany to the Nul group in the Netherlands.
The new visual arts strategies developed aim to go beyond the materiality of the work of art, seen as an obstacle to freedom, and venture into the experience of monochromy, emptiness and light, in gestures where the work is, like Lucio Fontana’s lacerated or perforated canvases, open to infinity.
