Liz Larner’s first UK institutional solo exhibition, ‘A hard line to bend’, will be presented at Camden Art Centre, London, opening 11 September.  Revealing Larner's virtuosic capacity to range between mediums and techniques, and foregrounding her long-standing engagement with ceramics, the exhibition includes works from the artist's ‘Asteroids’ series and assemblages made with discarded, single-use plastics, as well as new work made especially for the space.

Don't Put It Back Like It Was, 2022 (publication)
Published by Dancing Foxes Press, SculptureCenter, and Walker Art Center
Edited by Karen Kelly and Barbara Schroeder

Don't Put It Back Like It Was is an illustrated catalogue published on the occasion of Liz Larner's largest survey exhibition since 2001, organised by SculptureCenter, New York, and Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. 

Reconsidering her enduring formal and material concerns alongside her relationship to a feminist sculptural position, this monograph offers an opportunity to survey the Los Angeles-based sculptor’s artistic project within today’s expanded discourses of embodiment, gender, and posthumanism.
