Rut Blees Luxemburg's work shows the public spaces of the city, where the ambitions and unexpected sensual elaborations of the 'modern project' are revealed. In her work she brings to light the overlooked, the dismissed and the unforeseen and creates immersive and vertiginous compositions. Her photographic projects have been located in London, Paris, Dakar and New York.
Rut Blees Luxemburg's photographs have been exhibited internationally recently at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, the Royal Academy, London and LaBoral, Spain. Many public collections such as the Tate Modern, Victoria & Albert Museum and the Government Art Collection have works by the artist.
The new monograph COMMONSENSUAL is published by Black Dog Publishing, London and is a comprehensive survey of the artist's work, including her collaborative projects such as the opera Liebeslied/My Suicides and her public art installations 'Caliban Towers' and 'Piccadilly's Peccadilloes'. Her collaborative forays into music and urban culture have led to celebrated album covers such as The Streets 'Original Pirate Material'. She is teaching on the Photography MA at the Royal College of Art, London.
