Bewilderingly evanescent': how a darkroom allergy made Barbara Kasten see the light
Briefly

Ghostly pink shapes wriggle behind the huge windows. Inside the exhibition hall, the wriggling pink light is revealed as reflections on fluorescent acrylic plexi-panels, which are clamped into what Kasten conceives as large stage flats.
Kasten's abstract art stands at the intersection of photography, sculpture, installation, and painting, reflecting her diverse artistic background and influences.
Born in Chicago in 1936, Kasten's art journey began at a Catholic school and led her to Europe where she discovered Bauhaus architecture and the art of Magdalena Abakanowicz.
