Pictures at an Exhibition presents images of one notable show every weekday.
Today’s show: “Margaret Lee: …banana in your tailpipe” is on view at Marlborough Contemporary in London through Saturday, February 3. The exhibition is the first solo exhibition in London for the artist, who is also a partner at 47 Canal gallery in New York. Here is Lee’s explanation of the show’s themes:
Taking turns can mean feeling things out but it is sometimes hard to know whether the tables are turning or if we are going in circles. There are times when XXX = ♡ but also times when it is quite opposite. Let’s try to get on the same page … shall I put a banana in your tailpipe, so you know how it feels?
