Oppenheim’s exhibition explores peripheral and often lesser-known aspects of the work of the Luxembourg-born American photographer and exhibition curator: his paintings, which he abandoned and largely destroyed in the 1920s; his lifelong passion for flowers, particularly Delphiniums, of which he created several varieties and his textile designs from the 1920s, based on photographs of everyday objects. ‘Steichen’s wide-ranging practice is hard to imagine in our age of hyper-specialisation,’ Oppenheim observes. ‘In this exhibition, I would like to inhabit the practice of Steichen rather than examine any particular project. I plan to do with the work of Steichen what he did throughout his own long life: inhabit his tendency to ingest and reconstitute a wide range of practices and ideas and in that way hopefully expand an understanding of what it is to be a cultural producer.’Join artist Lisa Oppenheim for a unique exhibition experience.&startdt=2025-02-15T14:00:00&enddt=/2025-02-15T15:00:00&location=3 Park Dräi Eechelen L-1499 LUXEMBOURG&path=%2Fcalendar%2Faction%2Fcompose&rru=addevent){kind=link}
