Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as The Art Institute of Chicago, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art, and the Corcoran Museum of Art and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.[1] The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston showed the first comprehensive survey of her work in 2016.[3]

She has exhibited extensively in the United States and abroad, including solo shows at Campoli Presti in Paris [4] and London (2013),[5] Secession, Vienna (2012), Sutton Lane, Brussels (2010), and Miguel Abreu Gallery in New York (2009).[1] Her first solo presentation at an American museum, "Liz Deschenes: Gallery 7" was on view at the Walker Art Center from November 2014 to October 2015 and curated by Eric Crosby.[6]

Deschenes' work has been included in numerous group exhibitions including "What is a Photograph?", curated by Carol Squiers at the International Center of Photography in New York (2014), "Cross Over.

Deschenes was also featured in the 2012 Whitney Biennial.[7]

Her work explores the materials and properties of photography, light, and perception, often in relation to the architectural environments within which they are displayed.[8] She often engages the characteristics of minimalism with old photographic methods and techniques such as the photogram and daguerreotype.[9]
