Marion Baruch: Tzimtzum

The conflicts of the 20th century are reflected in the long life of Marion Baruch (born 1929 in Timișoara, Romania): fascism, capitalism, communism, feminism, pacifism, migration, classes, nations, religions, linguistic communities, political ideologies. Marion Baruch concerns herself with internal worlds and external spaces. Consequently this artist's work revolves around the theme of emptiness; she works with gaps, through views and transparency. She speaks of the “void”, meaning not a spiritual nothingness but rather a free space, in the literal sense, to be understood as an invitation to the viewer.

Marion Baruch: Tzimtzum is conceived both as a catalogue and an archive, it includes a conversation between the artist and Stolz—created as a patchwork from exchanges recorded over the last eight years—institutional statements by Lafer, Diminescu and Trezzi, a postface by Maria Sica, installation views of the three aforementioned exhibitions, and archival images of works and exhibitions mentioned in the conversation.
