Barbara Kasten in "Chicago" Preview
In this preview from the Chicago episode of Season 8 of Art in the Twenty-First Century, artist Barbara Kasten stages photographs using light and Plexiglass in her Mana Contemporary Chicago studio.
“It’s a constant process of being in the set, moving the lights, going behind the camera, looking at the image that’s resulting,” says the artist. “That can take hours, actually.”
“The physicality of the transparent sheet of Plexiglass has no representational value. But when you hit it with light, the physicality of it is manifest.”
