Lisa Walker Statement
Extract from a text by Klimt :
Reducing from a material perspective, creating means reducing. Explaining, putting into words, making sense of an artist’s work, inevitably means reducing still further. Explaining means reducing twofold. So sometimes it is better not to explain.
Réduire d’un point de vue matériel, la création signifie réduire. Expliquer, mettre en mots, donner du sens à l’œuvre d’un artiste, signifie inévitablement réduire encore davantage. Et expliquer, entraine une double réduction. Donc, il est parfois préférable de ne pas expliquer.
Cette artiste a participé rue Paul Fort à :
L’exposition « Au-delà du précieux, au-delà des mers » en septembre octobre 2013
