The Facts
On November 10, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced that Lucy Raven's solo exhibition 'Level Distance' is on view at Sun Valley Museum of Art in Idaho. The exhibition brings together three bodies of work from her multimedia project The Drumfire (2020–2025), examining the forces of pressure, destruction, and material transformation that have shaped the landscapes of the American West. Working across film, photography, drawing, and sculpture, Raven explores the impact of blast testing on Western deserts and the removal of dams along the Klamath River. The exhibition remains on view until January 16, 2027.
The Signal
The exhibition marks Raven's first solo museum presentation in the American West, offering a timely reflection on human intervention in natural environments. By interrogating the photographic and moving-image technologies that have historically documented and mythologised the frontier, Raven challenges conventional narratives of the region. The show underscores Sun Valley Museum of Art's commitment to contemporary art that engages with landscape and environmental issues.
