Mapping five decades of her radical practice, the show eschews a linear path, unfolding instead through ‘associative encounters’ – a curatorial structure that mirrors Bacher’s own fluid, open-ended methodology
– Ivana Cholakova, The Ten Best Shows in Europe of 2025 | Frieze

Utstillingen reiser nå videre til WIELS Centre for Contemporary Art, Brussel, der en ny versjon av Burning the Days åpner for publikum 28. mars.

ANDRE UTVALGTE internasjonale presseoppslag for Lutz Bacher: Burning the days
