About

Laura Lisbon makes paintings as well as constructions that she terms “set-ups.” She is deeply invested in the limits of painting as it relates to the limits of other perceptual and social conventions. Key early support includes an Ohio Arts Council grant that followed an exhibition at the Wexner Center in 1995. In 2001, she co-curated and co-wrote the catalogue for “As Painting: Division and Displacement,” exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts. In 2003 she was awarded a residency at Headlands Center for the Arts. In Amilly, France, Lisbon produced a large-scale project for the exhibition “Le paradoxe du diaphane et du mur” (2010.) Her most recent “set-up” was exhibited in “Gray Matters” at the Wexner Center for the Arts in 2017. Lisbon is a part of the third and fourth iterations of the collaborative painting project, “Impermanent Durations: On Painting and Time,” with three other artists from England, Australia, and Singapore. She has published on the limits of painting and related concepts of the apparatus and tableau, including essays in La Part de L’Œil, Cahiers de l’Agart, and Journal of Contemporary Painting.
