Join us on 15 May 2026 from 5 to 7 p.m. for the opening reception of Lucid Perturbations: The Sewn Drawings and Books of China Marks, an exhibition of over 200 sewn tableaux by China Marks. Featuring a total of 147 yards of fabric, a length nearly one and a half times the height of the Statue of Liberty, this monographic exhibition is installed in the gallery’s 5,000 square feet of exhibition space, weaving a tapestry that records a quarter century of an unsung artist’s singular vision and consuming passion for drawing with the sewn line. Although once lauded by The New York Times arts writer Grace Glueck for the bravura of her avant-garde sewn work, Marks has remained largely under the radar. Lucid Perturbations presents to the public, for the first time, the broadest survey of the psychological nooks and crevices of Marks’s sewn multiverse in all of its dark humor, aporia, and wit.
