Renowned artist Lynn Hershman Leeson invites audiences to embark on a transformative journey through time, identity, and the future of human existence with her latest exhibition, Anti-Aging. This is the artist’s third solo show with the gallery and presents a culmination of Hershman Leeson's decades-long exploration of this complex concept. The installation spans myriad forms— drawings, paintings, photographs, sculpture, multi-media works and video — from her earliest images depicting humans merging with machines to her latest experiments with bio-technology.

Hershman Leeson’s new video, Cyborgian Rhapsody: Immortality, 2023, makes its East Coast premiere introducing a cyborg named Sarah (born in 2029). Sarah is looking for human collaborators and finds them easily by infiltrating social media feeds. The cyborg interrupts two young girls, mid-scroll, with an inquisitive monologue telling the children about her military kin, misrepresentations of technology and the true threat to our consciousness: hatred and greed. Cyborgian Rhapsody is the follow-up to Hershman Leeson’s acclaimed 2022 film, Logic Paralyzes the Heart, 2022 which received Special Mention by the jury of the 2022 Venice Biennale.
