He curates occasionally and collects often – generally items made of paper, including out-of-print conceptual art documents, printed cardboard boxes, and various items found on the street. He has a deep interest in measurement, numbers, and the kinds of casual marks we make in our day-to-day lives. Lexier has presented over 90 solo exhibitions, participated in over
150 group exhibitions and produced a dozen public commissions. Concurrent with his one-year project for Art Metropole, Lexier has produced a second one-year project for the BMO Project room, which can be viewed at www.iamthecoin.com.
