Lygia Clark is included in a group exhibition at Lunds Konsthalle, Sweden. The show, titled ‘Underneath the Paving Stone’, sets out to explore urgent questions, such as, ‘How do built environments, institutional structures, and historical forces shape us as subjects?’ and ‘In what ways are art and life mutually implicated—especially under conditions of crisis, constraint, or repression – and how might artistic freedom be exercised or reimagined within such contexts?’
Clark is exhibited alongside artists including, Anders Hergum, Valérie Jouve, Yuko Mohri, Kasra Seyed Alikhani, Anne Tallentire, Carla Zaccagnini. Bringing together artists from diverse geographies and generations, the exhibition offers a multifaceted inquiry into the politics of public space and the ideological operations of infrastructure. Through varied artistic methodologies, these works critically engage the systems – spatial, social, and symbolic – that organise collective life, attending closely to the fractures and absences that render them permeable.
