Notes on Kim Lim

Kim Lim's oeuvre includes abstract sculptures made of wood and stone as well as works on paper that reflect on the relationship between art and nature. Daiga Grantiņa uses a wide range of everyday materials in her practice, from the synthetic to the organic, often reversing and transcending the boundaries of their traditional use to create associative formations. There are remarkable similarities and parallels between Daiga Grantina's sculptures and Kim Lim's works, particularly in terms of their mutability and elasticity, which are constitutive for both artists. At the same time, the differences between the works become clear, creating an effective tension.

Being the first presentation of Kim Lim's work in Switzerland, the exhibition is not intended to be a retrospective, but rather looks at her work from an artistic perspective. The ‘notes’ on Lim's work are complemented by the views of the photographer Katalin Deer and the poet Ilma Rakusa in an artist publication designed by Toan Vu-Huu, as well as by the voice of the sound artist and composer Anna Zaradny.
