NEW CANAAN, CT (February 5, 2025) – The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the work of László Moholy-Nagy.
“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.
