There's Only So Many Hours In A Night: Solo Exhibition
ALLGORITHIM presents There's Only So Many Hours In A Night, Connor Meager's second solo exhibition with the gallery, following his 2022 debut at the gallery's original Melrose Avenue location.
The exhibition brings together new paintings built from Meager's stippling and pointillist mark-making. Dripsticks, spray paint, and shipping labels accumulate across each surface - point by point, layer by layer - until the individual mark gives way to the whole. The method is slow and additive, and the title takes its meaning from that constraint: a body of work measured out in the hours available to make it.

Los Angeles - ALLGORITHIM is pleased to present There's Only So Many Hours In A Night, an exhibition of new paintings by Connor Meager. This is the artist's second solo exhibition with the gallery, following his debut at the original Melrose Avenue location in 2022. The exhibition is on view from August 10 through October 10, 2026, at Galerie's The Newsstand.
Meager works in stippling and pointillism, a method that resists speed. Each painting is assembled from individual marks laid down with dripsticks and spray paint, with shipping labels worked into the surface as both material and interruption. Nothing is arrived at in a single gesture. The image emerges only once enough marks have accumulated to make it, and the labor that produces it remains visible in the finished work.
The paintings ask to be read twice. Up close, the surface is a field of discrete points and torn paper edges - the record of a hand moving across a support over many hours. At distance, those parts resolve. The exhibition's title names the condition under which the work was made: a practice paced by the time available for it, and a body of paintings that carries the count of those hours on its face.
There's Only So Many Hours In A Night is on view August 10 - October 10, 2026. An opening reception with the artist will be held Friday, August 15, from 6 PM.
