Regen Projects brings together three influential artists, Rachel Harrison, Liz Larner, and Rebecca Morris, in the exhibition planchette. For the first time, tracing their shared yet distinct impact on contemporary abstraction. Running from April 25 through May 23, 2026, the show explores sculpture and painting through a lens of absence, transformation, and hidden structure. The title, drawn from Larner’s 2013 work V (planchette), references the séance tool that moves mysteriously under collective touch, setting the tone for an exhibition concerned with forces that exist just beyond visibility.

Across the exhibition, each artist engages with what is concealed or left behind. Morris’s Tarp paintings repurpose studio drop cloths embedded with traces of earlier works, turning them into ghostly records of artistic process and memory. Harrison’s Infanta collages similarly obscure and reveal, layering digital manipulations of a Diego Velázquez portrait beneath gestural abstractions and fragmented surfaces. Larner’s sculptures, from porcelain smile forms to clay works shaped by now-absent objects, emphasize impressions and negative space, suggesting that what is missing can be just as formative as what remains.

Material experimentation further blurs boundaries between form and meaning. Larner’s use of ceramic, glass, and stone creates surfaces that oscillate between image and object, while Morris’s raised lines evoke both painting and topography. Harrison’s assemblage sculptures, often incorporating found elements and rough cement textures, merge color and structure into something simultaneously playful and uneasy. Together, the artists construct a visual language rooted not in direct representation, but in suggestion, fragmentation, and subconscious association, demonstrating how contemporary abstraction continues to evolve by engaging both art history and the complexities of the present moment.
