Malin Bülow: Strained Resilience
February 18th - July 29th, 2023
Exhibiting for the first time at Miami’s Fundación Pablo Atchugarry, Norwegian based artist, Malin Bülow (born 1979, Sweden) presents, Strained Resilience, a solo exhibition operating at the convergence of installation, sculpture, and performance art. The exhibition introduces two site-specific elastic interventions, including a vertical installation of a body suspended within a membrane on the brink of rupture, and another giant translucent membrane that produces an interstitial layer creating a horizontal static tension between two opposing walls where moving bodies continuously shape-shift to suggest a resistance to given forms.
“The elasticity of the fabric and the movements of the bodies, which continuously initiate changes in the shape of the larger structure, can be seen as an expression of resistance and initiative for liberation.” - Malin Bülow
