Tracey Emin: "I Think It's in My Head"
Opening Reception: Saturday 21 September, 6-8PM
Lehmann Maupin is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Tracey Emin. This is Emin's second solo exhibition at
Lehmann Maupin.
"I Think It's in My Head" will consist of new work in a wide variety of media, including film, embroidery, drawing, neons, and
sculptural installation. Her ability to integrate her work and personal life enables Emin to establish an intimacy with the viewer.
A consummate storyteller, Emin engages the viewer with her candid exploration of universal emotions. Using experiences from
her own life, she often reveals painful situations with brutal honesty and poetic humor.

Stedelijik Museum, Amsterdam, Retrospective October 2002
MoMA Oxford, Great Britain, Solo exhibition November 2002
Museum of New South Wales, Australia, Solo exhibition 2003
Casey Cook: New Paintings
South Gallery
Opening Reception: Saturday, 21 September, 6-8PM
Lehmann Maupin would like to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Casey Cook. This is Cook's second solo exhibition at
Lehmann Maupin.
Cook’s most recent paintings have a whimsical quality, while still retaining the sense of mystery present throughout much of
her previous work. Color - creamy pinks and flesh tones - is an important element in her new work. Sprawling messages are
contained within the tender balance of her compositions, where scattered block letters may be read as individual forms or
placed together to create a cryptic question. In this reinvestigation of geometric abstraction, Cook's composition of repeated
shapes, trompe l'oeil effects and subtle color shifts are held together in a manner reminiscent of an ephemeral moment.
Casey Cook received her BFA from the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles in 1994 and in 1997 earned her MFA from
the University of California, Los Angeles. She has since had solo exhibitions in both Los Angeles and New York and has
participated in international group exhibitions. After a residency at Internationale Cite des Artes in Paris, Cook now lives and
work in New York.
