Pope.L: No Thing Skin Sets

September 15 – October 31, 2026

In the first gallery exhibition since Pope.L's untimely death in 2023, No Thing Skin Sets presents a precisely gathered selection of recent work, including the major installation, I Machine (2014–2022), on which the artist worked during most of the time he was based in Chicago. In the McPhee, CvsD presents a tribute to Pope.L's little known post-punk band Jon Waine, with historical artifacts and a double CD of previously unheard music, 1975–1983.
