Perrotin Los Angeles is pleased to present artist Leslie Hewitt’s solo presentation New Waves. For her fifth show with Perrotin, and her first exhibition at the Los Angeles gallery, Hewitt brings together a selection of her acclaimed still life photographs, and places them in conversation with two other powerful works: a floor sculpture that pays homage to the lost outlines of everyday spaces and ancestral sites submerged by systematic oppression, eminent domain, and other forces often collapsing within anti-blackness; and a collaboration with artist Jamal Cyrus that functions as an open-ended event score. Taken together, these distinct bodies of work speak to the intersection of ordinary objects, lived spaces, and material associations as they exist within the larger context of social and political histories.
