Light and Memory, published by Thames & Hudson, London, 2002

A catalogue published for the exhibition Liliane Lijn: Light and Memory, organised by Enrico Mascelloni and Gabriele Violini at Rocca di Umbertide, Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea, Perugia, Italy 29 June – 12 September 2002.

This publication presents recent pieces by the artist set against her earlier work,  showing the continuity in her rich and varied oeuvre. The dinstinguished curators and writers Hilary Spurling, Enrico Mascelloni, and Lara-Vinca Masini have each contributed essays exploring the different facets of Lijn’s work whereas the unusual email dialogue between the artist and the critic Guy Brett is an intimate and frank exploration of her ideas and motives.

Together, the publication and exhibition explore the profound interconnections between mind and body, past and present, inside and outside through the work of an innovative and highly individual artist.
