In-Residence
Join LAL this summer for its next installment of In-Residence, featuring the work of artist J. Daniel Graham as the Loudoun House galleries are transformed into his studio and workspace. In-Residence is an important part of LAL’s artists residency program which provides the time, space and resources needed by artists to create new bodies of work that transform the facility, community and advance the role of visual art in our society. Each residency is tailored to suit the needs of the artist being featured and provides and in-depth opportunity for exploration and to challenge themselves in a supportive and creative environment.
This three month residency will conclude with an exhibition entitled, The Less You Say as Graham interprets the history real and imagined of the beloved Loudoun House. Guests are invited to visit during gallery hours to watch and to be a part of the installation works the artist will create over the summer and to attend special question and answer sessions while that artist is at work.

The Less You Say
The Less You Say is an exhibition project consisting of works that seek to investigate and reinterpret the personal/public connections to the physical and atmospheric and architectural history of a space, in this case The Loudoun House located in Lexington, Kentucky, which is considered one of the largest and finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the state and was Designed by New York architect Alexander Jackson Davis, built in 1851 for Francis Key Hunt (1817-1879). Outside of being a place that routinely presents contemporary visual art exhibitions, spaces like The Loudoun House has long been a source of inspiration for creating art. For this exhibition, the works will be are inspired by the spaces they will eventually inhabit. Evidence of the research conducted by the artist surrounding the history and architecture of the home will inform the installations constructed within its galleries, creating a larger picture and environment to experience.
