Ace Lehner

Ace Lehner is an interdisciplinary artist and arts and culture writer based in Oakland, CA. Lehner primarily uses photography, drawing and installation in her studio practice and often explores methods of collaboration and performance. Lehner’s work and research considers the cultural codification of visual communication and is motivated by the urge to explore human relationships and the influence of place on the ongoing formation of our identities.

Lehner has exhibited, lectured and taught throughout the Bay Area, nationally and internationally. Recently Lehner’s work has been included in the exhibitions One Eye Shut at the Olive Hyde Art Gallery, Freemont, CA; Slide Slam at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco, CA and The Elegance of Refusal, Curated by Jessica Silverman at Gensler in San Francisco, CA. In 2009 Lehner was a recipient of the Murphy and Cadogen Fellowship in the Fine Arts and is currently working on an ongoing project entitled Waking Up in Love in California. Lehner’s writing has recently appeared on the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts’ blog and in the Bay Citizen. Currently Lehner works as the Program Coordinator for the Undergraduate Fine Art department at California College of the Arts.

Lehner has an MFA in Fine Arts and an MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts 2010 and a BFA in Studio Art with a minor in Social Anthropology from Concordia University in Montréal, Canada.
