Liquid Reflections

A beautifully written memoir by one of the most important and original artists working today. It’s not simply a record of the evolution of an artist, but a testament to the strength of spirit and imagination that allowed Lijn to develop her artwork in the face of structural sexism. I found her story utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining – and important. I can’t recommend it highly enough – Jennifer HiggieLiliane Lijn has been a unique and self-renewing force of creativity for six decades, amounting to an exceptional and unclassifiable career as a visual artist in many media, as well as a poet and a thinker – Marina Warner

Liliane Lijn is an artist and writer. From text based kinetic sculptures to large animated installations, inspired by science, mythology, and eastern philosophies, Lijn combines industrial materials with artistic processes to reimagine the female body. Her work is held in important public collections, including Tate, Victoria & Albert, British Museum, and FNAC in Paris. She has been exhibited internationally since the 1960s, most recently in the major retrospective Liliane Lijn- Arise Alive at the Haus der Kunst, Munich, touring to mumok, Vienna and Tate St. Ives. Born in New York, Lijn subsequently lived in Lugano, Paris, New York and Athens before finally settling in London in 1967.
