David Lamelas: The Machine

David Lamelas: The Machine is a comprehensive survey exhibition of the Argentine artist's work and his first major solo presentation in New York. A foundational yet overlooked figure of 1960s and '70s art, Lamelas has produced paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, and films, bridging Conceptual, Minimalist, and Pop approaches to art making. Over six decades, he has created a diverse body of work while living across Buenos Aires, London, Los Angeles, and Paris, among other locations, developing a nomadic sensibility that profoundly shaped his practice. The exhibition at Dia Chelsea comprises three parts—a presentation, a film program, and a performance series.
