Ines Lechleitner (Vienna, 1978; lives in Berlin) uses a wide range of artistic mediums such as photography, video, drawing, sculpture, performance and artists’ books. In her work she analyzes different means of communication and investigates how sound, images and text relate to each other. In particular she deals with systems of non-verbal communication such as sign language or acoustic language.
In her recent project Sense Correspondence Lechleitner addresses questions of sensory translation in dialogue with artists, writers and scientists. How does one sense relate to the other? How can one sensory experience be evoked by another or even transferred to another? Consequently, the artist also explores how a certain sensory impression or motif can be translated from one medium to another.

At M Lechleitner is showing a sequel to her Sense Correspondence project – a new body of work comprising photographs, sculptures and a video – plus a site-specific installation in two parts. The installation was inspired by the wooden sculptures in M’s historical collection. At the same time the installation refers to Sol LeWitt’s visual vocabulary; it is an ode to the exhibition Sol LeWitt. Colors parallel on view at M.
