WALKER ART CENTER TO PRESENT NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK BY LIZ DESCHENES

EXHIBITION IS ARTISTS FIRST SOLO PRESENTATION AT AN AMERICAN MUSEUM

MINNEAPOLIS, September 18, 2014The Walker Art Center is thrilled to present Liz Deschenes: Gallery 7, an exhibition featuring new work by the New Yorkbased artist from November 22, 2014 through November 22, 2015.

Since the early 1990s, Liz Deschenes has produced a singular and influential body of work that has done much to advance photographys material potential and critical scope. Making use of the mediums most elemental aspects, namely paper, light, and chemicals, she has recently worked without a camera to produce mirrored photograms that reflect viewers movements in time and space. Her carefully calibrated installations of these pieces have probed disparate histories of image production, abstraction, and exhibition-making while also responding to a given sites unique features.

For this yearlong exhibitionthe artists first solo presentation at an American museumDeschenes will produce a new body of work, reconfiguring the space of the Walkers seventh-floor gallery with a photographic intervention.
