.-Lehmann Maupin is presenting Quipu Girok, an exhibition of new work by Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña featuring her first painted quipu, a recent video, hand-painted prints, drawings, and an installation of precarios that will engage a dialogue between Korean and Andean textile traditions and techniques. An artist, filmmaker, poet, and activist based in New York, Vicuñas work ranges from performance, to painting, to poetry, to large-scale installations that address pressing concerns of the modern world, including ecological destruction, human rights, and cultural homogenization. The exhibition marks Vicuñas second with the gallery and is her first solo presentation
