CARROLL DUNHAM
Carroll Dunham & Laurie Simmons (duo show)
Le Consortium, Dijon
25 October 2024 – 23 March 2025
Le Consortium, Dijon, will host the first ever joint exhibition of Carroll Dunham and Laurie Simmons. The exhibition offers an opportunity to see two significant bodies of work respectively created by the painter and photographer over the past thirty years. Envisioned as a ‘marriage’ of two monographic exhibitions, the presentation brings together some twenty works each by Dunham and Simmons, thus providing a chance to see their work together and discover possible connections.
Born a few months apart in 1949, Dunham and Simmons’ respective careers developed in the 1980s, each quickly attaining a significant place in the New York and international avant-garde scene. They met in 1977 and were married in 1983. Their bodies of work have been developing in tandem for forty years in their studios at their home in Connecticut. ‘[Laurie] has been making photographs and I’ve been making paintings, the ways in which our work can be talked about in relation to each other has been overlooked,’ says Carroll Dunham.

Green Period. Prints, Drawings, and Paintings 2018–2022 (publication)
Published by JRP | Editions, 2023
Texts by Carroll Dunham, Dan Nadel, Mary Simpson
A new publication focusing on Carroll Dunham's pivotal ‘Green Period.,’ is available for purchase now. Bringing together prints, drawings, and paintings created by the artist between 2018 and 2022, the publication gives an overview of one of his most distinctive bodies of works. Using the colour green as a pictorial and expressive tool, Dunham depicts figures in an archaic world of his own making. In these ‘figurative’ works he explores themes of intimacy, race, sex, and aging, as well as his own graphic and painterly languages.
