Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present Beyond Material, an exhibition that gathers a diverse group of artists whose work explores the material properties of their chosen mediums. Through the various practices of these artists, the exhibition delves into the intersections of physicality, perception, and narrative across differing cultural contexts. This multifaceted exploration of tangible forms investigates the embodied experience of the contemporary world.

The selected artists each engage with material in innovative ways, whether through the reimagining of traditional craftsmanship, the challenge of medium boundaries, or the reflection on the ephemeral nature of existence. By experimenting with their specific materials, the artists provoke a reconsideration of everyday perceptions, inviting audiences to transcend conventional interpretations and engage with the artworks on a sensory level.

Beyond Material exemplifies Lehmann Maupin's commitment to presenting groundbreaking contemporary art that challenges and expands the boundaries of artistic disciplines. The exhibition offers an opportunity for viewers to immerse themselves in an array of artworks that underscore the potential for art to inspire and resonate beyond its physical form.
