Lotus L. Kang: Already

52 Walker is pleased to announce its fifteenth exhibition, Already, which features work by Canadian-born, New York–based artist Lotus L. Kang (b. 1985). Kang has pursued a multidisciplinary practice that includes sculpture, photography, and installation, and which often reflects upon such ideas as impermanence, inheritance, memory, and time. In her iterative presentations, Kang realizes these thematic concerns by transforming materials like photographic paper and film, whose light-sensitive surfaces implicate traces of surrounding architecture and bodies. At 52 Walker, the artist will bring together a selection of discrete objects, wall works, and an installation staged within and around a greenhouse.

Kang’s work was featured in Even Better Than the Real Thing, the 2024 Whitney Biennial, curated by Chrissie Iles and Meg Onli, with Min Sun Jeon and Beatriz Cifuentes.
