“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.”
