Aia ka hana a Lang ma waena o ke kiʻi kiʻi a me ke kiʻi, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano media like ʻole e pāʻani me ke kumuhana o ka mea nānā a me ka nānā ʻana o ke kaiāulu o kēia manawa i ke kiʻi. Hōʻike nā kiʻi kiʻi a Lang i ka moʻolelo o ko lākou 'mea', inā ʻoihana a kūlohelohe paha, a hoʻonui i ka pilina me ke kino.
Noho ʻia ka hapa nui o ka hale kiʻi e nā moʻolelo hou a Lang, Paʻa pōhaku. Hōʻike ʻia nā mea i ʻike ʻia he nui, e lawe ana kēlā me kēia me kahi kiʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kona ʻano. Ma o kēia mau kiʻi kiʻi, hoʻokani ʻo Lang me ka hōʻike a me ka moʻolelo e pili ana i ke kumu kumu, ʻike, hōʻike a me kahi pūnaewele o nā hui (kanaka), i hoʻohālikelike ʻia e nā manaʻo o ka mimetic.
Liane Lang, ʻO Joan i nā ʻāpana, 2019, Scagliola, lāʻau a me ka media hui; kiʻi ʻia e Ros Kavanagh, mahalo ʻia e ka mea pena kiʻi a me Butler Gallery.
ʻO ka manaʻo o Lang i ka moʻolelo o nā mea e hōʻike ana i nā moʻolelo i hāʻawi ʻia i nā mea e nā kānaka, mai ka pono a hiki i ka hoʻonani, ka hana i ka hoʻomana. Koho ʻo Lang i nā kiʻi i pili ʻole ʻia i kēlā me kēia mea, e hana ana i moʻolelo e pili ana i ke kanaka ma kekahi ʻano - he mea i lawe ʻia i ka pōʻai piha e ka hui ʻana o Lang o nā kiʻi a me nā mea. Hoʻohui maikaʻi ʻia nā kiʻi i loko o nā ʻano ʻekolu, no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike mau i kahi e pau ai ke kiʻi, a hoʻomaka ka mea.
Ua wehewehe ʻo Michael Taussig, anthropologist Australia, i ke ʻano o ka ʻike ʻana i ka puka ʻana o ka lā e pili ana i ka puka ʻana o ka lā, no ka mea, hele ka kukuna o ka mālamalama i loko o kou maka, e hoʻoulu ai i kou mau koʻokoʻo retinal. “E hoʻokaʻaʻike a kope i ka hui ʻana e lilo i mau manawa like ʻole o ka hana hoʻokahi o ka ʻike; ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i kekahi mea a i ʻole ka lohe ʻana i kekahi mea e pili ana i kēlā mea."1
In Alanui Spitewinter (2024), ua paʻi ʻia kahi ʻāpana alanui tarmac me ke kiʻi o ke alanui tarmac. ʻO ke ʻano o kēia ʻelua, ʻo ia ka mea i ka manawa like he ʻāpana o ke alanui a me kahi hōʻike o ia mea. Ke hoʻomanaʻo mai nei kēia hoʻololi naʻauao iaʻu i ka mea kākau manaʻo a Joseph Kosuth, Hoʻokahi a me nā noho ʻekolu (1965), kahi e hōʻike ʻia ai kahi noho lāʻau ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kiʻi o ka noho, a me ka wehewehe wehewehe ʻana o ka huaʻōlelo 'chair'.
Liane Lang, Hole Post, 2024, ke kinikini mōʻalihaʻi; kiʻi ʻia e Ros Kavanagh, mahalo ʻia e ka mea pena kiʻi a me Butler Gallery.
Kāhea ʻia kahi ʻano phenomenology e Eli Hohonu I (2024) – he ʻōpala i ʻike ʻia e paʻa ana ke kiʻi o ka lua ma kona lau. He lua anei kēia a ka ʻōahi i ʻeli mua ʻia? ʻO kēia manaʻo e hōʻike paha kekahi mea i nā manawa o kona wā i hala e alakaʻi iaʻu e noʻonoʻo i ka mea e hiki mai ana inā wau e ʻaʻahu ākea i nā kiʻi o nā lua āpau aʻu i ʻeli mua ai iaʻu iho.
Hōʻike ʻia kekahi puka hou kumu (2024), he ʻāpana kila i ʻike ʻia me ka lua e iho ana i ka ʻeleʻele. Hāʻule ke kaula i lalo a i lalo i loko o ka lua me ka lima e hopu mai ana mai luna mai. Hōʻike kēia lua i ka maina i loaʻa mai ai ka metala, i huki ʻia e ka lima hoʻokahi i hana ʻia i loko o kahi ʻāpana kila.
Hiki iā Crawlspace (2022) kahi pahu aerosol i ʻike ʻia - palahalaha, ʻeleʻele, a ʻelemakule. Ua paʻi ʻia ma luna o kona ʻili he ʻelua kapuaʻi ʻole, e kū ana i waho o ke ana. Ma ke Alanui (2024) paʻa i kahi kiʻi e hoʻololi akamai i ka pōhaku i loko o ka lua liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka malu ʻeleʻele e pili ana i kahi lua, aia i loko nā wāwae kanaka a me ka lima, hoʻomaha a peʻe paha. Hōʻike kēia kiʻi i kahi ʻoluʻolu ma luna o ka pōhaku, kokoke i ke ʻano o kahi kiʻi hoʻomana, a i ʻole kia hoʻomanaʻo e malu ai.
ʻO Liane Lang, 'Deep Time Dip', nānā hoʻonohonoho, Butler Gallery; kiʻi ʻia e Ros Kavanagh, mahalo ʻia e ka mea pena kiʻi a me Butler Gallery.
Hōʻike pū ʻo Lang i nā kiʻi mai kahi hana kahiko, Manaʻo kuhi hewa, hoʻonoho ʻia ma ka Memento Sculpture Park ma Budapest, Hungary - kahi kahua e mālama ai i nā kiʻi o ka wā Soviet, i hoʻohiolo ʻia i ka wā o ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻāina i ke aupuni demokala. ʻO kēia mau koena koʻikoʻi o Hungary i hala i hala me nā dioramas pōhaku a me nā kiʻi keleawe nui o nā dictators, nā koa, a me nā limahana. Ua hana ʻo Lang i nā ʻano hoʻopaʻapaʻa wahine e pili ana i kahi kumu hoʻohālike kino a me nā ʻāpana kino, i hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia e launa pū me nā kiʻi kāne paʻa a paʻa. Hoʻololi ʻo ia i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka nui a me ka ikaika o kēia mau monuments ma ka hōʻike ʻana iā lākou he ʻano ʻino a hoʻohenehene.
ʻO kēia nīnau akamai a me ka poetic o ka manaʻo kālai'āina, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e nā kāne ikaika a virile, ke hoʻomau nei ka pili i kēia mau lā. ʻOiai ke kāhea nei ʻo 'Deep Time Dip' i ka manaʻo maʻamau o ka objectification a me ke kino wahine, he mea hoʻonāukiuki hoʻi ia i ke ʻano o ka wahine kiʻi e hoʻokomo a hoʻohuli pololei i nā mea.
