Pipilotti Rist

Foundation for Art and Creative Technology - FACT, Liverpool

Retrospective


comunicato stampa

One of the world's most celebrated artists, Pipilotti Rist, draws together a body of work that explores what it is to be human. In her trademark heady mix of bright light, lush colours and zany feminine energy, the work in this exhibition explores the loss of innocence. It challenges viewers to look at art differently: whether lying on the floor, peering into a small dark crack in the floor or perched on oversized furniture, Rist's work creates an "Alice in Wonderland" feel to the exhibition

Exploring the third element of FACT's 2008 Human Futures programme: my world, Pipilotti Rist examines our relationship with the natural environment. Often playing the lead within her films, sh re-works the well-worn cliche of woman as a symbol of nature, and man as a symbol of culture.

Opening the show, Pipilotti turns FACT into a screen, playing on the building's purpose and natural environment. A previously unused still from one of her most famous works, Open my glade (2000) - originally commisioned to be shown in New York's Times Square - is presented on the front exterior window of FACT. Pipilotti Rist's first public art project in New York, Open My Glade was composed of 16 one-minute video segments at a quarter past every hour.

Transported to the UK for the first time, the work will also appear on the BBC Big Screen in Clayton Square, bringing a new dimension to the piece.
In Gallery 1, the UK premiere of Gravity Be My Friend (2007) sees a re-working of the site-specific installation originally designed for Magasin 3 StockholmKonsthall in 2007. A visual and sensorial experience, the visitor lies on a "carpet landscape" to watch the work projected above. "I have always been interested in how the body moves in the roomin relation to the work of art. The viewing ritual and physical posture appear almost to be given facts," Pipilotti Rist, Congratulations! (2007)

In Gallery 2, FACT presents a selection of Pipilotti Rist?s finest work fromthe last 15 years including; Exploring the third element of FACT's 2008 Human Futures programme: my world, Pipilotti Rist examines our relationship with the natural environment. Often playing the lead within her films, she re-works the well-worn cliche of woman as a symbol of nature, and man as a symbol of culture.
Opening the show, Pipilotti turns FACT into a screen, playing on the building's purpose and natural environment. A previously unused still fromone her most famous works, Open My Glade (2000) - originally commissioned to be shown Ever is Over All (1997), Blood Room (1993/98) and Your Space-Capsule (2006).
