Ingrid Koenig: Navigating The Uncertainty Principle

Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC - & Yaletown-Roundhouse Station, Vancouver. To Apr 5, 2020

by Robin Laurance

Long interested in the diagrams physicists use to describe chain reactions, thermal movement, molecular pressure, space-time, force fi elds, electromagnetism and black holes, Ingrid Koenig employs the entanglement metaphor to fuse scientific concepts with everyday activities like cooking, refrigerating, repairing and washing up. Working from two series of large-scale graphite drawings – Navigating the Uncertainty Principle (2009) and Force Fields (2010) – she has further enlarged these works, transposing them from paper to vinyl.
