Originally from Australia, Delfs will show a series of recent works, including a large-scale textile wall installation and hanging sculptures falling into the space of SlaM in a two-day exhibition. Her practice explores the nature of constructed space and how perceptions of the environment are built through utilizing architecture and garment construction to investigate their shared theoretical and production strategies.
Berlin Art Link’s ‘Night & Day’ series will showcase cross-over artists that work within the fields of visual art, architecture, design and fashion.
Collaboration with Nick Fitzpatrick for Colosoul Magazine, 2011
Artist Statement:
“My work displays a delicate sense of equipoise, creating an unfamiliar sensuality by erupting from surfaces, recalling corporeal and architectonic topographies. Luminous prismatic shapes tend to hover in space, on the floor or attached to walls. Non-orientable surfaces orchestrate interplay of reconfigurable forms which imply continuous expansion and protracted stillness” – Elizabeth Delfs
‘Night & Day’ Series Featured Artist, ELIZABETH DELFS

Sur la Montagne (SlaM) is a non-commercial exhibition and project space operating since 2009. Besides art exhibitions and their A.I.R. program, they host a variety of cultural events such as readings, debates and poetry slams. In addition, the space periodically transforms into other settings, such as a shop, a restaurant, a club, or even a hotel. SlaM’s internationally recognized hotel concept, Hotel Minimal by Herresthal und Kadel, a bed and breakfast in the SlaM storefront, a space that is both an installation and a living space, was a pre-stage and the origin of the upcoming A.I.R. program. www.surlamontagne.de
