LILIANE LIJN: ARISE ALIVE

  • 24 May 2025 — 2 Nov 2025

A collaboration between mumok - Museum moderne Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien, Haus der Kunst Munchen and Tate St Ives brings this retrospective of New York born Lilian Lijn's work to the UK.

In the early 1960s, Liliane Lijn’s kinetic sculptures placed her at the forefront of artists exploring new ways of using technology to "see the world in terms of light and energy." Over a six-decade career, her work has continued to blaze a trail while defying categorisation.

Fascinated by the idea of visualising the invisible, Lijn draws from Surrealist ideas, ancient mythologies, and feminist, scientific and linguistic thought. Equally important to her experimentation are the materials she uses – such as plastics, prisms, feather dusters and copper wire.

Arise Alive surveys Lijn’s career from the late 1950s to today, spanning installation, sculpture, painting and moving image, and including her ongoing exploration and creation of new feminine forms.
