The joint exhibition accompanies Grasso’s largest ever solo exhibition to date in the United States at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts, Metaphysical Maze.\nAt Olana, Grasso’s installation will be centered on an immersive presentation of the artist’s film Orchid Island (2022) within the context of the Dining Room / Picture Gallery of Olana’s\nMain House. Elsewhere, new paintings from Grasso’s ongoing series Studies into the Past will be hung alongside artworks by Frederic Church, “infiltrating” the visitor’s sense of the historical past.\nIMAGE CREDIT:\nLaurent Grasso, Studies into the Past, oil on wood panel, 112 x 160 cm, © Laurent Grasso, ADAGP, Paris (2026) Courtesy of the artist and Sean Kelly, Photo Jason Wyche.
