It makes everything visible, yet remains invisible itself. Kowanz engages with this paradox in her light-based art. Using materials such as mirrors, black light, neon tubes, and glass bottles, Kowanz created objects and spatial artworks in which she staged light. This volume offers a retrospective experience of her oeuvre: alongside the central works, it includes iconic pieces showing that, even in the 1980s, she was engaging with topics that are current today, such as digitalization and new communication media in an information society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRalph Gleis \u003c\/b\u003eis general director of the Albertina and curator of numerous exhibitions of art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. \u003cb\u003eAngela Stief\u003c\/b\u003e is chief curator for contemporary art since 1945 at the Albertina and director of the Albertina Modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11.9 x 8.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 19, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47478730195197,"sku":"9783777446561","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/IDIMB5vbtl9783777446561.webp?v=1777532115","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/brigitte-kowanz-light-is-what-we-see-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
