Laura Lancaster's "A Stranger's Dream" Runs March 20 To April 19, 2015 At Sargent's Daughters (New York)

3/20/2015

Laura Lancaster's A Stranger's Dream runs March 20 to April 19, 2015 at Sargent's Daughter's (New York). There will be an opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday March 20, (tonight as I type!).

This is the first solo show by the English painter at the gallery. The subject of Lancaster's work is often anonymous thrift-store and flea market photographs. This is such a charming idea. I have often fretted over such abandoned, disconnected photos myself. I love the notion. These pieces are taken from found home movies.

The title refers to how a film can echo memories and dreams.

Lancaster lives in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and has been shown worldwide (including at solo presentation at Art Basel Hong Kong).

Agee lives in Brooklyn and is known not only for mixed media but ceramics and installation. Her installations have appeared at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and her ceramics have been shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Walker Art Center, Conversations in Clay and Dirt on Delight.
