Notes


Rut Blees Luxemburg’s Ledoux’s Donkey is part of the series The dark intestine exploring French revolutionary architect, Nicolas Ledoux's Saline Royale; a hybrid factory - part panopticon, part anticipated ruin. Rut Blees Luxemburg exhibits nocturnal chimera of the imperfect Utopia and focuses on Ledoux’s interest in the eye; the organ of visual pleasure as well as of surveillance, anticipated photography and its double-agency.

Rut Blees Luxemburg is renowned for her photographic work that deals with the representation of the city and the phenomenon of the luminous. Her work has been shown in landmark exhibitions such as elles @ centrepompidou curated by Camille Morineau and A Handful of Dust curated by David Campany. Solo exhibitibions include Phantom at Tate Liverpool and London Dust at the Museum of London. Her large-scale public work Silver Forest - a photographic urban landscape in cast concrete - is part of the façade of Westminster City Hall in London.

Blees Luxemburg’s photographs are held in many public and private collections including Tate London, V&A Museum, London, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia. She is a reader in urban aesthetics at the Royal College of Art and created the iconic cover for The Streets’ Original Pirate Material.
