Lygia Clark is included in Into Other Spaces: Synesthetic Environments by Women Artists 1956–1976 at Leeum Museum of Art, Seoul, on view from 5 May until 29 November 2026.
The exhibition brings together eleven women artists whose pioneering environmental works expanded the possibilities of art beyond the object, placing the viewer’s body, movement and sensory perception at the centre of the encounter. Spanning two decades of experimental practice, the presentation reconstructs large-scale, immersive works that were often ephemeral, dismantled after their original display, or overlooked within dominant histories of installation and media art.
Clark’s inclusion foregrounds her radical rethinking of the relationship between artwork and participant. Moving away from the autonomous art object, her practice explored touch, embodiment and collective experience, proposing art as a living exchange activated through the body.
The exhibition Into Other Spaces situates Clark alongside Judy Chicago, Laura Grisi, Aleksandra Kasuba, Jung Kangja, Lea Lublin, Marta Minujín, Tania Mouraud, Nanda Vigo, Tsuruko Yamazaki and Marian Zazeela, tracing a vital history of women artists who transformed space into a field of sensory, psychological and social encounter.
