LuYang solo "open space 15” at Fondation Louis Vuitton

LuYang’s new film DOKU - The Flow has debuted today at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris as part of LuYang’s solo exhibition “Open Space #14.”

The second feature-length film in the DOKU series, DOKU - The Flow is nearly an hour in length and will be presented alongside an installation centered around the film. Derived from the Japanese word DOKUSHO DOKUSHI, meaning “We are born alone, and we die alone,” DOKU is a virtual character created from the digitization of the artist's own body. The film depicts the solitary adventures of this multi-faced avatar through which Lu Yang transcends the boundaries of the physical body, exploring a new form of freedom through digital reincarnation.

DOKU - The Flow was produced with the support of the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
Curators: Claudia Buizza and Ludovic Delalande (Louis Vuitton Foundation)

Artsy | Independent 2024 | Howard Smith and Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens

“At Its 15th Edition, Independent Celebrates Its Past and Looks to the Future”

Jane Lombard Gallery’s booth at the 15th edition of Independent New York, showcasing works by Howard Smith and the artist duo Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, is mentioned in the Artsy article “At It's 15th Edition, Independent Celebrates Its Past and Looks To The Future,” by Max Rabb.

Rabb writes, “…The New York–based gallery paired Howard’s works with sculptures and collages by artist duo Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens. “The sculptures all have to do with alternative facts, so they’re lightly based on very tongue-in-cheek fake news articles,” said Ariel De Sal, sales associate and art fair coordinator at the gallery. For instance, Mastermind (2022), a ceramic sculpture of yellow pants decorated with Morse code, was inspired by a story of how ripped jeans were Morse code, and The US Government’s Secret Weather-Control System (2021), a deflated blue cloud, evokes the paranoid weather balloon scares.”

Whitewall | Independent 2024 | Howard Smith and Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens

“6 Standout Presentations at Independent from Gavlak, Maureen Paley, and More”

Jane Lombard Gallery’s booth at Independent New York 2024, featuring works by gallery artists Howard Smith and Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, is included in the Whitewall article “6 Standout Presentations at Independent from Gavlak, Maureen Paley, and more” by Andrew Huff.

Huff writes, “One of the more fun booths at the fair is Jane Lombard Gallery, which is showing a group presentation of new and recent works by Howard Smith and the artist duo Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens. Smith’s paintings are shown alongside works on paper and ceramic sculptures by Ibghy and Lemmens, and are tied together through each artist’s aptitude for encouraging experimentation and collaboration. Particularly striking is Smith’s work, Universe #31 (1991 – present), consisting of countless tiny paintings hung salon-style.”
