Cosmic Dramas - Liliane Lijn

LIJN, Liliane. 
Cosmic Dramas. 
First edition. 4to. 92pp with colour illustrations throughout. Illustrated boards. Middlesborough, Mima, 2012. 

Beautiful catalogue produced in response to the exhibition Cosmic Dramas, which brought together, for the first time, three important installations by Liliane Lijn. 

Using a broad range of materials, media and new technologies, Lijn entwines ancient mythologies with science fiction in these key works, which were all created in the 1980s. Between sculpture and theatre, the Lady of the Wild Things, Woman of War, The Bride and The Electric Bride are the result of a decade of research for a new feminine icon. The catalogue includes studies and drawings for the works from the artist’s archive, and includes texts by Guy Brett and Althea Greenan.
