Glossed in Space.
The Zentrum fur Kunst und Medientechnologie in Karlsruhe Karlsruhe (kärls`r ə), city (1994 pop. 278,000), Baden-Württemberg, SW Germany, on the northern fringes of the Black Forest, connected by canal with a port on the nearby Rhine River. is mounting a show of some forty works by Sylvie Fleury, who traversed the art/fashion nexus of the '90s in style. Perhaps her most notorious provocations were the shopping bags whose luxury-item contents at times surpassed in cost the price of the artworks themselves. Curator Ralph Melcher includes a number of highlights from this period, like her famous First Spaceship on Venus, 1996, but the exhibition will focus on recent work and site-specific installations (June 3-Aug. 26).
