My Home — Huguette Caland

Lisson Gallery 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.
