Isa Genzken: Open, Sesame

Whitechapel Gallery, London
5 April to 21 June 2009

This is the first retrospective of a major European artist whose fusion of photography, paint, architecture and found objects into the realm of sculpture has influenced generations of younger artists. The show commences with early floor works from the 1970s and continues with a sequence of windows, rooms and buildings cast from plaster and concrete in the 1980s.

I have to say i was impressed by the early works and the way she manage to combine different media and expressive forms, being at the same time very intimate and formally rigorous.
I am less compatible with the latest stuff, but I recommend you to go and have a look!
