Title: Jac Leirner
First published: 1997
Description: Brazilian artist Jac Leirner presents her first solo exhibition in Scotland, combining work from major collections with new work. She was born in São Paulo in 1961, where she currently lives and works. Leirner?s work references the history of Brazilian Constructivism and the legacy of Arte Povera and Minimalism. Place and duration related to personal experience are important to her practice. She makes her work from a limited range of everyday materials. Playing with ideas of repetition, obsession and addiction, she uses the same objects over and over again, combining them into astonishingly beautiful sculptures that reveal the material poetics of the mundane.00Exhibition: Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, UK (01.07.-22.10.2017).
