52 Walker is pleased to announce its sixteenth exhibition, which will feature the work of Los Angeles–based artist EJ Hill (b. 1985). With a practice that includes performance, installation, sculpture, and painting, Hill is known for works that consider the corporeal, the social, the spiritual, and the spatial—and how these elements shape subjectivities in varied systems and contexts. In this exhibition, the artist will present a new commission incorporating both discrete objects and performance.
Hill was the subject of a major solo exhibition, Brake Run Helix, which was on view at MASS MoCA, North Adams, Massachusetts, from October 2022 to February 2024. In February 2025, Dallas Contemporary opened Velvet Faith, a site-specific installation featuring the work of Hill and Martin Gonzales that resulted from a monthlong residency at the institution.
