Lucie Stahl’s practice has a long-running dialogue with the materiality and slippery politics of extraction, waste and production. A recurrent site is that of the oil pit or the mine, and its associated registers of darkness and scale as well as its ambivalent form of beauty. The machinery of these industries range from turn-of-the-century steel giants, to the heavy slickness of the present day oil rig. This series of prints, entitled, portray a temporally ambiguous set of machinery connected to open oil pits, rendered with a slight 3D effect, a blurring and boundaries and depth of these scenes of extraction. Lucie Stahl (b. 1977, Berlin) lives and works in Berlin. Her most recent solo exhibitions include: Dépendance, Brussels (2021); Queer Thoughts, New York (2019); Freedman Fitzpatrick, Paris (2019); Kunsthalle Freiburg, Freiburg (2018); Cabinet, London (2018); Mayer Kainer (2018); Freedman Fitzpatrick, Los Angeles; Schiefe Zähne, Berlin (both 2017) and Dallas Museum of Art (2016). In spring 2022, she will receive a solo exhibition at Bonner Kunstverein.
