ICI’s new event space! 6.30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Gather at ICI’s brand new event space for a NYSE with Lisa Oppenheim on Wednesday, May 25th, and take an in-depth look into this artists sublime, research-based works. Merging fact and fiction, Oppenheim often picks up or interjects points that history may have over looked or intentionally skipped over. Investigation and a true commitment to aestheticism enable Oppenheim to create breathtaking imagery based on historical happenings that may have otherwise gone unannounced. Oppenheims practice is always finely attuned to the possibilities of meaning that is revealed when the technical history of the medium is read against itself, opening fissures between the formal and the ideological. CHRISTIAN RATTEMEYER for Line, No.4 Lisa Oppenheim lives and works in New York.
