Anthony Discenza's 'FOLKLORE' at Leroy's, Los Angeles

Anthony Discenza's solo exhibition 'FOLKLORE' runs from March 14 to April 19, 2026, at Leroy's in Los Angeles. The show presents a fairy tale about a woodcutter who names a nameless little man, turning him into a lantern that leads to hidden gold. Works include 'Study for Leroy’s 1: Ingest/reuptake' (an open edition of 1024 synthetic 4x6 prints on Fuji Crystal Archive in envelopes and cardboard boxes with a light stand and LED lamp), 'Diurnal Regime' (commercial streetlights with aluminum, fittings, and cables), 'Material Transfer' (a photocopier with anthracite and desk lamp producing unlimited edition prints), and 'Servant 2' (a found resin garden gnome coated in coal tar epoxy). Discenza uses AI-generated images, photocopiers, and found objects to explore themes of naming, labor, and value.
