Allora & Calzadilla

Press Release

Lisson Gallery is proud to present a new exhibition by Allora & Caldazilla. Through sculpture, photography, performance, sound and video, Allora and Calzadilla's works have been informed by questions of mark making, traces, and survival in a way that is simultaneously conceptual, metaphorical and spatial. Their understanding of material and metaphor as a couple is crucial; for them a material is never simply self-evident in its meaning, it is always marked with histories, cultures, and politics that are at once irreducible to and indivisible from the material in question. In their exhibition at Lisson Gallery they will explore the interplay between militarism, gymnastics and sound in the context of today's global state of war.
