On September 5, Lehmann Maupin gallery opens “Liza Lou: Painting,” an exhibition of new abstract works that crank up the bravado of Abstract Expressionism by using her signature beads as paint. Then, on September 13, the Brooklyn Museum unveils Lou’s installation “Trailer (1998–2000), which will remain on long-term view in the museum’s lobby.
How long did that take? It’s an obvious first question when looking at the work of artist Liza Lou. She has used the same material—glass beads—for more than three decades, painstakingly applying millions of tiny dazzlers one by one to create her painterly installations. “I have a weird relationship to time,” Lou admits. “Everything that I make, you have to accept that it’s going to take a while. It’s part of the material. It’s baked into the practice.
Lou was thinking about the style of Pollock, that ur–Abstract Expressionist. “My material slows down a gesture. If you think about action painting, something happening very quickly. My work would be the very opposite of that: It’s this kind of crepuscular painting, a way to put down form.
