Punk rocker, author, poet, photographer, political satirist, painter, and founder of ‘anti-anti-art’ movement, Stuckism, Billy Childish has many strings to his bow, or bristles to his brush, or grooves to his vinyl record, depending on which day of the week you catch him on. He usually only paints on Mondays, but for his residency at Lehmann Maupin, he’s bending the rules.

Childish is far from a conventional artist, but then Lehmann Maupin’s first London space is far from a traditional gallery model. Moving away from the ‘trap’ of strict exhibition programming, the gallery will instead host a flexible programme of talks, ‘site-specific activations’, book launches, pop-up shows and residencies.

There are no half-measures for the gallery’s coronavirus-delayed opening. Alongside Childish’s residency, Lehmann Maupin will also host a tightly curated show of new works by Kader Attia, Shirazeh Houshiary, Lari Pittman, and Nari Ward who each engage with the concept of identity.
