Louisiana Revue – Pipilotti Rist – UK

Exhibition catalogue with the Swiss artist, Pipilotti Rist, (b. 1962), published in 2019 in connection with Louisiana's major exhibition, 'Pipilotti Rist - Åbn min Lysning' (Open My Glade). Rist is one of the biggest and most popular names in contemporary art. She is known for her sensory-rich, colorful and strange installations and video works: "For me, video is like a painting on glass in motion."

In the 2019 exhibition, the internationally renowned Rist transformed the entire south wing of Louisiana into a colorful and sensory universe. For Louisiana, the museum's guests - and for Pipilotti Rist herself - the exhibition was the culmination of a long and very special relationship. Rist feels so attached to Louisiana that it was the first museum in the world to acquire one of her works for its collection.

She was actually christened Elisabeth Charlotte Rist, but already at a young age she took the artist name, Pipilotti, as a tribute to Astrid Lindgren's anarchic and free-thinking Pippi Longstocking. Rist's art can seem both challenging and provocative, but also full of joy and humor.
