Exhibition catalog with the Swiss artist, Pipilotti Rist, (b. 1962), published in 2019 in connection with Louisiana's major exhibition, 'Pipilotti Rist - Open My Glade'. Rist is one of the biggest and most popular names in contemporary art. She is known for her sensual, brightly colored and wonderful installations and video works: "For me, video is like a painting on glass in motion."
At the exhibition in 2019, the internationally recognized Rist had transformed the entire south wing of Louisiana into a brightly colored and sensory-saturated universe. For Louisiana, the museum's guests - and for Pipilotti Rist himself - the exhibition was the culmination of a long and very special relationship. Rist feels so connected to Louisiana, which was the first museum in the world to acquire one of her works for its collection.
She is actually christened Elisabeth Charlotte Rist, but already as a young woman took the stage name, Pipilotti, as a salute to Astrid Lindgren's anarchist and free-thinking Pippi Longstocking. Rist's art can seem both challenging and provocative, but at the same time also full of joy and humor.
