With her roots in the formative stages of conceptual art, Butler has long investigated the intricacies of human perception and time/space relations. The problem of embodying phenomenological and cosmological ideas in an art object shapes the “arc” of her inquiry, and these interests are manifested in a variety of media. The exhibition situates again five “invisible” but palpably felt installations that were first presented in the late sixties. It then develops the theme of pointing to the invisible in works that include text/language-based pieces, a performance action, documentary photography and notebooks, sculpture/objects and multi-part
