INHABITING THE GRID

Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde is pleased to present German-Iranian artist Haleh Redjaian's second solo exhibition at the gallery, entitled Inhabiting the Grid. In "Grids," art critic Rosalind Krauss' authoritative essay on the subject, she dogmatically positions the grid as the modernist tool par excellence, a formal structure that firmly and finally expels from the realm of the visual, all traces and possibilities of literature and narrative, reality and illusion¹. Though grids recur throughout Haleh Redjaian's oeuvre, she has consistently experimented with novel ways of challenging this dogma, creating art that remains minimal and non-objective but creates space for the expression of individual subjective experiences like memory, emotion and affect.
