Lorna Simpson. Third Person

Third Person is the first exhibition of its kind in Europe dedicated to Lorna Simpson. Held at Punta della Dogana in Venice from March 29, 2026, to November 22, 2026, it continues the journey begun at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York with the Source Notes exhibition in 2025. The accompanying catalogue, designed and conceived by Irma Boom Office, documents Simpson's evolution towards painting, delving into its role in her recent practice. Starting from photography and collage, Simpson has progressively expanded her work towards the pictorial medium, which in recent years has become the focus of a broader reflection on memory, the power of images, and the racial and gender dynamics that permeate history and society.
