Lisson Gallery is also pleased to present a new wall-based text sculpture by Jack Pierson, IDEAS (2023) following the artist's first solo show with the gallery in New York (7 September–14 October). Comprising selections of found lettering, reclaimed from redundant signage, Pierson's text works exemplify his process of sculptural assemblage and non-hierarchical cultural compilation to create personal and universal narratives across love, longing, kinship, poetry, and identity. Further highlights include the curved wood panel Untitled (2023) by Joanna Pousette-Dart; the multi-part Constellation O (1969) by Leon Polk Smith; and a selection of oil on paper and large-scale paintings on canvas by Rodney Graham, the latter from his Cubist-inspired series of compositions first shown by Lisson Gallery in 2021. These are shown alongside a new acrylic on canvas painting from Lee Ufan's Response series. Lee, who has been partly based in Paris since the 1980s, began the From Line series. Also debuting in Paris is a monumental new sculpture by Hugh Hayden, in which a meticulously carved skeleton torso in cherry wood hangs within a ready-made ornate timber armoire. Riffing off the trope of the 'skeleton in the closet', the work furthers Hayden's practice of crafting metaphors for human existence and past experiences, encouraging us to question the social dynamics between the works' components.
