Lisson Gallery is proud to present a programme of occasional free lunchtime talks, offering a unique opportunity to hear Lisson Gallery artists, other
cultural figures and gallery staff discuss art and related topics.

Each talk gives the opportunity to discover first-hand the thoughts, processes and insights behind the artists' work. Each lecture is free but booking is
essential as there are a limited number of places available.

The ninth in the series will be a conversation between Rashid Rana, Jemima Montagu and Greg Hilty, Lisson's Curatorial Director about works in Rashid
Rana’s solo show at Lisson Gallery.

Rana is widely considered to be the most prominent and original contemporary artist working in South Asia today. Through his work Rana explores
constructs of media and identity, reflecting upon and critiquing the impact of globalisation worldwide whilst simultaneously exploring the local and
competing influences of tradition and modernity in contemporary South Asia and Pakistan.

In the exhibition at Lisson Rana presents a series of key works in which he redeploys photographic imagery in varied formats including installation,
sculpture, and large-scale photographic prints. These works see Rana drawing on techniques such as pixelation to problematise and reconfigure the
relationship between part and whole, fragment and meaning.
