Never the Same Song
Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, FL
MAY 18 – SEPTEMBER 15, 2024
Never the Same Song is the first institutional exhibition dedicated to the works of Lizzi Bougatsos and Lonnie Holley. Never the Same Song spans artworks from the 1990s to the present, including the debut of works made by the artists in March, 2024 at Holley’s studio in Atlanta, and works from the collection of the MFA.

Never the Same Song is centered around thematic commonalities in both artists' practices including improvisation, the use of found objects, sustainability, and environmental conservation.
