Basic research - Isa Genzken

Peder Lund is pleased to announce Isa Genzken: Basic Research, an exhibition focusing on a pivotal body of work by one of the most influential figures in contemporary art.

Genzken's "Basic Research" – the artist's second solo exhibition at Peder Lund.

May 15th - august 30th

This exhibition presents a rare opportunity to engage deeply with Genzken’s Basic Research series (1988–1992), a radical group of oil paintings that exemplifies her profound inquiries into material, surface, and space.

Though best known as a sculptor whose work has redefined the possibilities of form and structure, it is through these enigmatic paintings that Isa Genzken distills the essence of her sculptural language.

Genzken’s transition from the highly technical, mathematically-derived sculptures of the 1970s to the more tactile, materially immediate works of the 1980s marks one of the most significant evolutions in her career. This shift reveals not only a transformation in form and media but also a radical rethinking of authorship, process, and the relationship between the artist and her working environment.
