Francois Ghebaly presents Rapido (July 18–August 15, 2026), historic works by Alexis Smith (1949–2024). The show is anchored by Rapido, a 1975 installation in which a model train travels continuously around an otherwise empty gallery, exhibited for the first time since UC Santa Barbara. A second gallery debuts never-before-shown works on paper from 1972–74—early 'one of a kind books' pointing toward Smith's signature concerns of narrative, popular culture, and literary appropriation.
