Marginal Utility Gallery is proud to present ‘Active Surplus’, an exhibition of new work by DANIEL LEFCOURT as a part of FIRST AMONG EQUALS exhibition at the ICA in Philadelphia.

Using the tools and materials of scenic fabrication and sign making, Daniel Lefcourt’s work continually point outwards, towards conventions of exhibition and display. Like the industrial composite wood with which the artworks are made — Lefcourt’s work is at once real and solid, and simultaneously a mere semblance or substitute.
