Descripción del Artista
Richard Ibghy and Marilou Lemmens create sculptures, videos, installations, public artworks, and artist books. Combining rigorous research with a material exploration that is specific to each project, their practice questions issues at the intersection of ecology, economy, epistemology, and history.
For several years, they have examined the history of science and other forms of knowledge, including the language of economy, the magic of statistics, the capacity for models to impact the future, the aesthetics of data visualization, and the design of laboratory experiments. More recently, their work seeks to expand concepts of hospitality, care, and interspecies communication.
