Through May 4, 2025

FROM CINDY SHERMAN TO FRANCESCO VEZZOLI will be presented as an international premiere at Palazzo Reale in Milan, the exhibition brings into dialogue more than 140 works and 80 major contemporary artists from around the world. 
From Cindy Sherman to Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, from Nan Goldin to Nicole Eisenman, from Kiki Smith to Marc Quinn, from Lisetta Carmi to Francesco Vezzoli; all artists featured in the unprecedented and prestigious contemporary section of the Giuseppe Iannaccone Collection who will be linked and connected by a dialogue on the most important social issues such as the relationship with the body, the ever-changing identity, multiculturalism and the complex interactions between East and West. It is an experience that crosses temporal and spatial boundaries, proposing a dialogue between visions that are geographically distant but converging on sensitive and inescapable contemporary issues.

Moving freely between figuration and abstraction, Andro Wekua creates multilayered paintings composed of fragments of recollections and figments of the imagination that display various formal layers. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce a solo exhibition of Wekua’s latest body of work. Containing traces of the artist’s hand continuously applying and removing richly pigmented colors, his paintings present as palimpsests that conjure images and associations but defy straightforward interpretation.

All is Fair in Dreams and War
February 1–April 6, 2019
Berlin

Andro Wekua’s work strides powerfully and forcefully in our direction – while constantly eluding us. As visitors we find ourselves caught between contradictory movements, and the result is a tension that we cannot easily escape. This accounts for some of the intensity and quality of Wekua’s work, but not all. Much of it has to do with the artist’s way of weaving images together and playing them against one another, and the undertow this creates. The draw of this maelstrom is narrative and cinematic in nature, although his films in particular tend toward abstraction.

At the center of Andro Wekua’s new exhibition at Sprüth Magers is a life-size sculpture made of nickel silver – a silver-like alloy of copper, nickel and zinc – and a group of paintings. The untitled sculpture recalls Wekua’s earlier mannequin figures and continues their subtle formal vocabulary. The androgynous figure appears situated between the sexes; its body has a prepubescent, almost childlike look.

Bringing together the practice of thirteen international artists, the exhibition Dreaming Mirrors Dreaming Screens appeals to the intuitive mind and creativity beyond referential thinking. Departing from the artists' production, it navigates through narratives in the realm of surrealist animation, abstraction and subjects of new materialism embracing the logic of the internet.

Some Pheasants in Singularity

London

For his first exhibition with Sprüth Magers, Andro Wekua will transform the London gallery by installing a wall constructed of rough breeze blocks, partially obscuring the view into the space through the large bay window. While from the exterior the blocks will be untreated and exposed, the interior side of the wall will have a smooth white surface as if to disguise it from within, allowing the wall to blend seamlessly into the interior space. Within the gallery, Wekua will suspend from the ceiling a life-sized sculpture of an androgynous adolescent.

Evolving from the work of twelve conceptual artists, filmmakers and photographers presenting alternate interpretations of fictional geographies, imaginary sites and "mash-up" destinations, the exhibition Rethinking Location reconsiders the notion of location. In an era characterized by a rapidly changing perception of time and space due to ever increasing mobility, migration and globalization, our understanding of what a location is has significantly transformed.
