Regen Projects is pleased to present planchette, an exhibition of sculpture and painting by Rachel Harrison, Liz Larner and Rebecca Morris. This is the first time these influential artists have shown together, despite their parallel contributions to the reinvigoration of contemporary abstraction.

The exhibition’s title is inspired by a sculpture by Larner, V (planchette) (2013). This work, part of a series of blue-black planchette sculptures made with egg tempera-painted paper pulp, compels the viewer to move about it in order to explore its curling form and mottled texture. A planchette is a tool used in Ouija board séances, simultaneously held by a circle of hands: an object of communication that apparently takes on a will of its own, transcending the intentions of the humans manipulating it. Larner’s title is less about her sculpture’s passing resemblance to the traditionally heart-shaped planchette than it is about its capacity to command bodies around it and channel unexpected new information.
