Summary
Bettina, a reclusive artist who turned her Chelsea Hotel room into a chaotic shrine of her work, lived on a lawn chair as her sculptures, photos, and leaves piled high—believing she channeled divine energy to manifest unseen connections in a “fourth dimension.” After a fire destroyed her studio, she reinvented herself in New York, embracing geometric abstraction and theoretical art, even calling her apartment “The Institute for Noumenological Research.” Now, her work—including rare animation—is showcased in Glasgow, while Yto Barrada sifts through her massive archive, revealing the full scope of her extraordinary, obsessive legacy.
