Liz Larner's work inflextion, 2018, is included in a group exhibition celebrating the life of the writer Joan Didion at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Organised and curated by writer Hilton Als, the exhibition features more that 200 works by approximately 50 artists, in a wide range of mediums. 

Opening less than a year after Didion’s death at age 87, and planned since 2019, Joan Didion: What She Means follows a meandering chronology that grapples with the simultaneously personal and distant evolution of Didion’s voice as a writer and pioneer of the 'New Journalism’.

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.
