Exhibition Text
Luisa Kasalicky’s exhibition at the LENTOS invites visitors to take part in an intriguing
game of illusions that will present a challenge to their senses. Being the first light
composition the artist has developed for a museum, it is also something of a première.
For this installation, which the artist has designed specifically with the LENTOS in mind, she
treats the two adjacent exhibition rooms in the museum’s basement as separate entities. In
the first room it is the walls that attract the artist’s attention. Using snap lines, a device
employed by bricklayers to align brickwork, the artist applies large-scale ornaments that
appear to open up the wall. This geometric clarity contrasts with the drama of the light
installation in the second room.
Concealed by curtains so as not to disrupt the darkness, windows enable visitors to inspect
the other half of the installation. Sharply focused spotlights carve out various details of the
objects in the room: illusionist wallpaper; light-reflecting materials; tiles tapering off so as to
produce a perspectival illusion; and a number of other constructions made from everyday
materials of the sort that we have become familiar with from Kasalicky’s previous work. The
spatial totality remains shrouded in darkness. The duration, pattern sequence and rhythm of
the light composition focus and guide the gaze of the observer. The artist expressly wants
the observer’s eyes to do her bidding.
Luisa Kasalicky’s work gravitates toward that border area where painting, sculpture and
architecture overlap. Having trained as a painter and graphic artist, she discovered the third
dimension for her work early on and has retained her predilection for it ever since.
Her multilayered installations, which regularly use the most diverse materials, colours and
objects, test the surrounding space for its dynamism and observers for the sharpness of their
perception.
