Lisson Gallery is proud to present a new exhibition by Allora & Calzadilla. Through sculpture, photography, performance, sound and video, Allora and Calzadilla's works have been informed by questions of mark making, traces, and survival in a way that is simultaneously conceptual, metaphorical and spatial. Their understanding of material and metaphor as a couple is crucial; for them a material is never simply self-evident in its meaning, it is always marked with histories, cultures, and politics that are at once irreducible to and indivisible from the material in question.
