With a career spanning over seven decades Chase-Riboud's innovation in sculptural technique
and materiality is characterised by the interplay between folds of cast bronze or aluminium and
coils of wool and silk which are knotted braided looped and woven. Combining materials with
different qualities such as hard and soft light against heavy and tactile versus rigid the
artist's monumental sculptures explore themes of memory monuments and power.The catalogue also
features an illustrated chronology as well as a selection of the artist's own poetry and
writing. Text: Gus Casely Hayford Erin L. Thompson Joseph Manca Hans Ulrich Obrist Yesomi
