solo exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art in New York. This show was named as the best of the year by Michael Rakowitz in the journal Artforum. The museum and its immediate neighborhoods have since become increasingly recognized for their rich and globally significant immigrant culture, featured in popular films like Maria Full of Grace, Salma Hayek’s hit TV-series Ugly Betty, and most recently, Tania Bruguera’s Creative Time IM International project. Early work Lasch’s productions from the early Queens period, as well as his work with 16 Beaver, have expanded over the years to engage a growing network of international grassroots and interdisciplinary collaborators. His projects with official art institutions include shows at Sean Kelly Gallery, Baltimore Museum of Art, Queens Museum of Art, Walker Art Center, MASS MoCA, Nasher Museum of Art, MoMA PS1 (U.S.A), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and The Royal College of Art (U.K.), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Spain), Centro Nacional de las Artes (Mexico), Singapore Art Museum (Singapore), Gwangju Biennale (South Korea), as well as the AND AND AND platform of documenta 13 (Germany). Other involvements Lasch has also served on various public and private boards, including the North Carolina Arts Council (2007–2010), and he occasionally curates exhibitions of other artists’ work that complement his artistic production. Flesh & Metal, Bodies & Buildings: Works from Jonathan Hyman's Archive of 9/11 Vernacular Memorials, is a curatorial project by Lasch, related to his own 9/11 memorial painting series entitled Phantom Limbs, as well as his work with the organization of Twin Towers Go Global.
