King's Leap gallery in New York presents "There were gardens," a group exhibition running from April 3 to May 9, 2026, featuring works by Dara Birnbaum, Gina Folly, Collin Leitch, Chris Marker, Jeff Preiss, Julia Scher, Jason Simon, and Mira M. Yang. The show includes 37 images documented in the Contemporary Art Library, with photography by Stephen Faught.
The exhibition brings together eight artists whose practices span video, installation, and conceptual art, suggesting a thematic exploration of gardens as sites of memory, technology, and surveillance. The inclusion of both established figures like Chris Marker and emerging artists highlights King's Leap's role in presenting intergenerational dialogues within contemporary art.
