LUCY SKAER
Force Justify (part 3)
Curator: Cathérine Hug, KUNSTHALLE wien
5 July - 26 August 2012
Lucy Skaer (born in the UK in 1975, lives in New York City) alternately employs drawing, 16-mm film, and sculpture as her media, combining them in manifold ways to create room-spanning installations. Her mark making provides a striking contrast to the subjects she deals with, such as physical violence in the exercise of structural power, and the critical examination of the heritage of history and its recording. Lucy Skaer’s approach as an artist shows itself preferably committed to material and iconographic research. Regarding her subtle treatment of the factor time, the artist says, “Some works of art seem to inhabit the present time. They play out the same temporal dynamic as catching someone’s eye on the subway and holding it for a little too long.” In 2007, at the age of only thirty-two, she featured her work in the Scottish Pavilion at the 52nd Venice Biennale. She was nominated for the prestigious Turner Prize (Tate Britain) in 2009.
