Since Lisa Lapinski graduated from ArtCenter College of Design in 2000, her artwork has been exhibited internationally in galleries and institutional venues. She was closely connected with the Los Angeles art community for many years before moving to Houston to teach at Rice University in 2014. During this time as an artist in L.A., she had solo exhibitions at Richard Telles Fine Art (Los Angeles, CA),  Johann König (Berlin, Germany), Midway Contemporary Art (Minneapolis, MN), Studio Guenzani (Milan, Italy) and Taka Ishii (Kyoto, Japan). In 2008 she presented The Fret and its Variants at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Curated by Bennett Simpson, the show was part of MOCA’s focus series, which showcased the work of emerging artists in Southern California. In 2004 she was the recipient of the Guggenheim fellowship, which she used to make the major work, Nightstand, that was then included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.  Lapinski has also participated in group shows at Grimm Gallery (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Wallspace (New York, NY), MOCA (Los Angeles, CA), Overduin and Kite (Los Angeles, CA), Tang Museum (Skidmore College, NY), Gladstone Gallery (New York, NY), UCLA Hammer Museum (Los Angeles, CA), The Approach (London UK), Kölnischer Kunstverein (Cologne, Germany), Galerie Nelson (Paris, France) and Sprueth Magers Projekte (Munich, Germany). 

Lapinski currently has an exhibition Holly Hobby Lobby at Kristina Kite Gallery in Los Angeles, which will run through November 4. The group exhibition Anna Helm Lisa Lapinski Hirsch Perlman, organized by Lapinski, is on view at Midway Contemporary Art in Minneapolis through November 4.
