Lesley Heller Workspace Archives Exhibition Features Black Lake Video Installation and Artist Talk

exhibition · 2026-04-23

An exhibition at Lesley Heller Workspace on the Lower East Side runs through October 13, featuring works that explore anonymous urban landscapes like buildings, vacant lots, and parking lots with distant mountain views. The show includes a video installation by one half of the duo Black Lake, who will perform at Freight+Volume on Saturday. An artist's talk is scheduled for the final day of the exhibition on October 16th at 4:30 PM. Previously, the artist had a solo exhibition at Lesley Heller from April 13 to May 15, 2011, while another artist's sculpture show was presented from March 2 to April 3. The exhibition raises questions about whether the act of pouring paint can be liberated from art historical constraints.
