Lehmann Maupin

Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present Balance Fountain, New York-based multidisciplinary artist Nari Ward’s first solo exhibition in London. The exhibition precedes a major European museum exhibition to be announced in the coming months.

Adopting a distinctly spiritual approach, Balance Fountain probes the unseen forces that shape both unique cultures and global society, exposing ritual as a structural artistic device.

The presentation features a series of new copper panel works, a selection of sculptures, and a large-scale floor installation, each composed of objects adjacent to ceremonial practice or devotional behavior.

About the Hosts

Lehmann Maupin

Lehmann Maupin

Since inception, Lehmann Maupin has been instrumental in introducing international artists in new geographies. This mission has resulted in historic first exhibitions in New York, Hong Kong, and Seoul. 

Lehmann Maupin London, located at Cromwell Place, functions as a dynamic multi-purpose space, offering an alternative to the traditional gallery model. Conceived in response to the shifting needs of its artists and the broader arts community, Lehmann Maupin London is foregoing a fixed exhibition program and instead engage in site-specific activations, installations, and performances.

This innovative model allows the gallery to develop focused presentations that highlight critical issues of the day, while also providing a platform for artists to think outside of the traditional presentation of a new body of work. In addition, the gallery hosts a regular series of public programs to keep audiences engaged in the current practices and concerns of its artists.
