Ms. Lidén is the real deal, possessed of a fierce, concentrated energy that infuses everything she does. Roberta Smith, The New York Times, 14 January 2005
On the occasion of the first solo exhibition of Klara Lidén in the UK, the Serpentine Gallery is delighted to present a limited edition print by the artist.
Klara Lidén (born Sweden, 1979) is a Berlin-based artist, architecturally trained, and known for her film and built installations. Exclusively for the Serpentine Gallery, Lidén has produced a print based on the view from a video recorder that she held on her shoulder as she rode a bicycle into the River Seine in Paris.
Purposefully degraded, the digital image appears to be an archival photograph. Reminiscent of Georges Seurat's Pointillist paintings, it draws directly from a work included in the Serpentine's exhibition, entitled Toujours Etre Ailleurs (Always To Be Elsewhere), 2010.
Past exhibitions include Unheimlich Manöver at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, 2007, and a presentation of her video work at the Hayward Gallery, London 2007, with solo exhibitions at Reena Spaulings Fine Art, New York in 2008, 2006 and 2004.
