Liz Deschenes (born Boston, Massachusetts 1966) is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in New York City.[1] Her work and art practice can be understood in relation to post-conceptual photography and minimalism.[2]

Career

Her work is in the collections of the Centre Pompidou in France, the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as The Art Institute of Chicago, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, and the Corcoran Museum of Art and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.[1] The Institute of Contemporary Art[disambiguation needed] is opening the first comprehensive survey of her work in 2016. [3]

She has exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad, including solo shows at Campoli Presti in Paris [4] and London (2013),[5] Secession, Vienna (2012), Sutton Lane, Brussels (2010), and Miguel Abreu Gallery in New York (2009).[1] Her first solo presentation at an American museum, "Liz Deschenes: Gallery 7" was on view at the Walker Art Center from November 2014 to October 2015 and curated by Eric Crosby.[6] Deschenes' work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including "What is a Photograph?", curated by Carol Squiers at the International Center of Photography in New York (2014), "Cross Over. Photography of Science + Science of Photography" at Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (2013), and the 2012 Whitney Biennial.[1] Her first monograph was published in 2012 in conjunction with her exhibition at Secession, Vienna.

Her work explores the materials and properties of photography, light, and perception, often in relation to the architectural environments within which they are displayed.[7]
