Description
Alicja Kwade's latest installation at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt draws inspiration from the pendulum experiments of 19th-century French physicist Léon Foucault, which demonstrated Earth's rotation. In this series of quasi-scientific set-ups, established scientific knowledge is juxtaposed with paradoxical social realities, resulting in a playful commentary on space and time. Kwade's work superimposes the familiar with the unknown, creating a complex exploration of transformation and movement. This volume presents a detailed look at her latest project, offering insight into the artist's captivating and internationally acclaimed practice. Published in 2015, this book provides a unique perspective on Alicja Kwade's artistic vision and its relationship to science, space, and society.
