Huguette Caland: My Home

Lisson Gallery is honoured to stage the first solo exhibition of Huguette Caland’s work in New York for five years. Curated by independent curator and writer Tarini Malik, this presentation is titled My Home and follows Caland's groundbreaking career across five decades and three countries. Working in Beirut, Paris and Los Angeles, the artist (1931–2019) displayed a conscious and liberated attitude toward the notion of home, creating new artistic impetus and constantly developing her work, all while crossing continents and cultures. Through drawing, painting, sculpture and writing, Caland developed her unique voice in every location she inhabited and found spiritual solace in depictions of places, mental spaces and her own sensual form, a "practice that attempted to undo the rootlessness of both her diaspora and her own body," as Malik puts it. Lisson’s solo exhibition follows Caland’s touring retrospective curated by Hannah Feldman, A Life in a Few Lines, which began at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and is currently on view at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg.
