Visiting Artist Lecture: P. Staff
Next Monday, February 21, Join us virtually for a lecture from artist P. Staff presented as part of the spring 2022 Visiting Artist Lecture Series, free and open to all with live captioning available.
P. Staff is an artist based in Los Angeles, USA and London, UK.

Their notable solo presentations include Serpentine Galleries, UK (2019); MOCA, USA (2017); and Chisenhale Gallery, UK (2015). They have been part of a number of significant group shows such as The Body Electric, Walker Art Center (2019); Made in LA, Hammer Museum (2018); Trigger, New Museum (2017); and the British Art Show 8, touring venues (2016). In 2021, their work was on view at Canal 47, New York, USA; 13th Shanghai Biennale, China; and formed part of the inaugural programme of LUMA Arles, France. Their work is represented by Commonwealth and Council Gallery, Los Angeles.
