Renowned for her photographic work, American artist Lisa Oppenheim (1975, New York) has been invited to take over the glass architecture of Mudam’s Pavilion. The series of works she is developing for the occasion explores little-known aspects of the work of Luxembourg-born American photographer and curator Edward Steichen (1879–1973): his passion for horticulture, which led to him creating several varieties of delphiniums; the textile designs he produced in the mid-1920s based on photographs of everyday objects and the exhibition design he conceived in 1905 for Alfred Stieglitz’s Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession (better known as 291), which he helped to establish. ‘Steichen’s wide-ranging practice is hard to imagine in our age of hyper-specialisation,’ Oppenheim observes. ‘In this exhibition, I would like to inhabit the practice of Steichen rather than examine any particular project. I plan to do with the work of Steichen what he did throughout his own long life: inhabit his tendency to ingest and reconstitute a wide range of practices and ideas and in that way hopefully expand an understanding of what it is to be a cultural producer.’
