About the show
Gala Porras-Kim's research-driven practice examines how our understanding of cultural artefacts is shaped by the museological and modern epistemological conventions that dictate their collection, taxonomy, preservation and display. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Gala Porras-Kim's first solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring new and recent works by the artist on the occasion of London Gallery Weekend. Both visually striking and thought-provoking, Porras-Kim's drawings, paper marbling works and sculpture explore the transformation – and possibly emancipation – of objects throughout time.
About Sprüth Magers
In 1983, Monika Sprüth Gallery opened with an exhibition of paintings by Andreas Schulze, which was soon followed by exhibitions of Rosemarie Trockel and Peter Fischli David Weiss. Over the next few years, George Condo, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, and Cindy Sherman all showed at the gallery, artists who remain central to Sprüth Magers’ program to this day.
