luxembourgian artist su-mei tse's paintings and sound installations have been compared to haiku poetry
by art critics. 'in her work she uses constantly shifting, constantly re-examined points of view to work
towards harmony between apparently antagonistic organic, material and cultural elements. sound,
rhythm, and music are important components in her work, which is characterized by a placing in
suspension, moments of silence and an invitation to a degree of introspection'. in 2003 she represented
luxembourg at the venice biennale of art and won the golden lion award. since then she has shown in
london, paris, new york and next year su-mei tse will have a solo exhibition at the art tower, mito, japan
from feb 7 until may 10 (2009).
