Wael Shawky: Isles of the Blessed

New York, 10 November 2022 – 13 January 2023

Wael Shawky’s sixth solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery, and second in New York, continues the artist’s ongoing investigation into how multiple accounts of history have been conceived, recorded and disseminated. Featuring a recent single-channel film along with a number of new paintings, the presentation explores how myths often become belief.
