Lisson

Now open, Lisson is honored to stage the first solo exhibition of Huguette Caland’s work in New York for five years.

Organized by independent curator and writer Tarini Malik, this presentation charts Caland’s groundbreaking career across five decades and three continents. Working in Beirut, Paris and Los Angeles, the artist displayed a conscious and liberated attitude toward the notion of home, finding new artistic impetus at every turn and constantly furthering her work, across different countries and cultures.

Through drawing, painting, sculpture and writing, Caland developed her unique voice in every location she inhabited and every language she encountered, finding 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.

🗓️ On view through 25 July at 504 West 24th Street

This week, for his first solo exhibition with Lisson in Shanghai, Li Ran presents a series of new and recent works that highlight the evolving direction of his painting practice, marked by a deepened focus on material painterliness and pictorial storytelling.

Influenced by pre-modernist traditions, including Western European Symbolism, Post-Impressionism, Soviet Revolutionary Romanticism, and modern Chinese satirical cartoons, Li draws inspiration not only from the visual heritage of these movements but also from the multidisciplinary activities of their practitioners, spanning literature, poetry, music, education, publishing, and painting. His own practice is similarly interdisciplinary, extending across installation, performance, writing, video, and painting, and often incorporating archival photographs, staged imagery, vocal imitation, and sound performance.

🗓️ 16 May – 4 July 2026 at 2/F, 27 Huqiu Road
