Liliane Lijn

In her practice, Liliane Lijn searches for the link between the natural, the feminine, the poetic and the technological. She was born in New York City and she studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. Upon her return to New York, she developed her artistic practice by experimenting with different materials and mediums. In the early 1960s, she had already exhibited her kinetic works in Europe. She holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Warwick and received a fellowship from the ACE; International Artist Fellowship at the University of California, Berkeley in collaboration with NASA and the Leonardo Network. More recently she was Artist in Residence at APC (Laboratoire Astroparticule et Cosmologie) in Paris and EGO (European Gravitational Observatory) in Pisa. Her work has previously been shown at Tate Britain, Rodeo Gallery London, the 2021 Gwangju Biennale, the 59th Venice Biennale 2022, and the 2023 Dunkirk Triennial.
