FreeArt

Caland's reputation has exploded — a recent museum retrospective circuit introduced the world to her joyous, quietly radical body abstractions, made as she reinvented herself from Beirut society daughter to Paris bohemian in a self-designed kaftan. Lisson brings that intimate wit to Chelsea, free, for two more weekends. Her line — a single contour that might be a hip or a horizon — is addictive; it's the show to convert someone who thinks they don't like abstraction.

What to expect

A focused single-artist show in Lisson's West 24th Street space — drawings, paintings and possibly textile works, viewable in 20–30 minutes. Free and walk-in; Chelsea galleries on summer Saturdays are quiet and blissfully air-conditioned.
