Lee Ufan and Claude Viallat - Encounter at Pace Gallery
We visited Lee Ufan and Claude Viallat - Encounter at Pace Gallery during our gallery hopping this week.
This exhibition, marks the first time they have exhibited in conversation with one another and it is curated by Alfred Pacqurment. It surveys both artists’ enduring commitment to abstraction as a means of engaging philosophical ideas of time, space, and matter.
Lee and Viallat first met in 1971 when they were both included in the Biennale de Paris.
The repetition of forms is a core facet of both artists’ practices.
My Girl liked this one and was interested in the materials used. She also liked the big rock with the broken glass in the first room and was wondering if they made this piece in the gallery and left it there or if they trasported it there like that.

She was so happy and inspired in this room and felt the freedom to express herself. It was really magical!
One not to be missed! More in stories.

For a moment I felt like I was in Andrea’s world, her work might be characterised as ‘serious play’, as she embraces contradictory impulses, like for example, organic and geometric, inside and outside, ugly and beautiful, playful and threatening, hard and soft.
I really liked the receptor series, which refer to internal processes of the (human) body which we hardly pay attention to in everyday life. They are based on considerations of sensory perception. In their form, the objects are reminiscent of sensory buds or receptor cells that have one or more openings/holes through which the outside communicates with the inside and vice versa. We explicitly expose ourselves to intensified sensory perceptions when we visit an exhibition, for example. At the moment when the ‘receptors’ are looked at, we receive inner and outer impulses, which in turn are able to trigger emotions, thoughts, memories...’
Small but beautiful!
