Isa Genzken @ Hauser & Wirth London

Isa Genzken explores the relationships between different media, plus social, political and urban spaces, with references to everyday lived experience intruding on her formal experiments.

From the late 1990s on, the artist’s sculptural works moved towards assembled installations that borrowed their aesthetic from collages, combining objects with variations in scale. The work on view, Wasserspeler and Angels, exemplifies this new artistic language, characterised by its engagement with architectural form and its social dimension. Through the combination of materials sourced for purpose, this multifaceted installation contains layered references and takes on new meaning in today’s landscape.
