Chassis, an exhibition featuring sculptures by Lea Cetera A'05, was shown at the Phillida Reid Gallery in London, UK from September 2-October 1, 2022:

"We are proud to present Lea Cetera, Chassis, the inaugural exhibition at the gallery's new Grape Street location. Consisting of new and existing sculptural works incorporating found footage, kinetic machinery, steel cages and obsolete cables, Chassis stirs up a vortex of overlapping concerns: the dissection and manipulation of human and animal bodies; the distance between resistance and complicity; the consumption of images under capitalism; escape routes; and rainbow lobsters."

  • Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
