Agnes Denes’ second solo exhibition at acb Gallery focuses on her early land art pieces and on the concept of visual and conceptual triangulation elaborated in parallel, that has been characterising a major part of her practice.
A pioneer of conceptual and environmental art, the artist has coined the notion of Eco-Logic to express the paradox – or as she often refers to it, the human predicament – that lays between achievable conditions of global survival and logic demonstrating how, despite being in its centre, we are prisoners of our own system.
As early as 1968, she authored Rice/Tree/Burial, the first land-art performance with expressed ecological concerns that called for environmental consciousness and responsibility.
The exhibition was realized in cooperation with Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, New York.
