Approach
A show is an argument made with someone else’s work — and the room, its pacing, its pairings, its silences, is how the argument gets made.
Lena works with artists at the beginning of their public lives, building exhibitions where personal memory and public event share a wall, and staying with the work from studio visit to install.
