She explored the body relentlessly throughout her career, from anthropomorphic furniture in the spirit of pop art to installations inviting bodies and artwork to form a new, organic and communal entity. For her series of what she called \u0026#39;p\u0026eacute;n\u0026eacute;trables\u0026#39;, she used the structural elements of traditional painting, a stretched canvas, but stitched pockets onto them for head, arms and legs, creating a work that could be worn as a garment or brought to life with the human body. When not inhabited, these paintings became hanging objects with a ghostly presence, hinting at a potential playful activation.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1976 Nicola L. was invited for a solo exhibition at M HKA\u0026rsquo;s predecessor organisation, the ICC (International Cultural Centre), in Antwerp. Banners, masks, drawings and installations were on display, as well as a large coat for eleven people which she took into the street. The action with the coat was repeated in various cities under the title \u003cem\u003eSame Skin For Everybody\u003c/em\u003e and was first performed at the Isle of Wight Music Festival in 1970. Nicola L. always had a broad cultural interest, ranging from functional art (as she called it), to film and music. When she moved to New York in 1979 and settled in the Chelsea Hotel, she devoted herself to film, making works that included a short documentary about the punk rock band \u003cem\u003eBad Brains\u003c/em\u003e at the legendary club CBGB.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eSinds de jaren 1960 combineerde \u003cstrong\u003eNicola L.\u003c/strong\u003e (Nicola Leuthe) de beeldende kunsten, performance en design met een onuitputtelijk gevoel voor humor en een groot verlangen om collectieve ervaringen te cre\u0026euml;ren. Doorheen haar hele carri\u0026egrave;re bleef ze in haar werk het lichaam verkennen, met expressies gaande van antropomorfe meubels in de geest van de popart tot installaties die lichamen en kunstwerken uitnodigen om een nieuwe, organische en gemeenschappelijke entiteit te vormen. Voor haar reeks \u0026lsquo;p\u0026eacute;n\u0026eacute;trables\u0026rsquo; gebruikte L. de structurele elementen van de traditionele schilderkunst, een opgespannen doek, maar naaide er zakken aan voor hoofd, armen en benen, waardoor een werk gecre\u0026euml;erd werd dat letterlijk gedragen of door het menselijk lichaam tot leven gewekt kan worden.

Nicola L. had altijd een brede culturele belangstelling, gaande van functionele kunst (zoals zij het noemde), tot film en muziek. Toen zij in 1979 naar New York verhuisde en zich in het Chelsea Hotel vestigde, legde ze zich toe op film en maakte onder andere een korte documentaire over de punkrockgroep \u003cem\u003eBad Brains\u003c/em\u003e in de legendarische club CBGB.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eDepuis les ann\u0026eacute;es 60, \u003cstrong\u003eNicola L.\u003c/strong\u003e (n\u0026eacute;e Nicola Leuthe) m\u0026ecirc;lait les beaux-arts, la performance et le design, avec un sens de l\u0026rsquo;humour persistant et un d\u0026eacute;sir constant de cr\u0026eacute;er des exp\u0026eacute;riences collectives.
