Minimal
Group Exhibition with Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Donald Judd, David Lamelas, Senga Nengudi and Bridget Riley
Bourse de Commerce, Paris
Through January 18, 2026

Bringing together an exceptional group of works from the Pinault Collection in dialogue with those of prestigious collections, Minimal traces the diversity of this movement since the 1960s, when a whole generation of artists (Dan Flavin, Robert Ryman, On Kawara, Agnes Martin, François Morellet, among others) initiated a radical approach to art. This exhibition is curated by Jessica Morgan, director of Dia Art Foundation (New York), who has selected over a hundred works by some forty international artists, including Nancy Holt, Robert Irwin, Donald Judd, David Lamelas, Senga Nengudi and Bridget Riley.

It’s About Time
Group Exhibition
Groninger Museum, Groningen
Through May 10, 2026

Travel crisscross through time at the Groninger Museum. In this new collection presentation, the boundaries of linear time are broken. We usually imagine time and history as a straight line, but what happens when we move crisscross through it? Or in circles? Seven rooms filled with artworks from the museum’s own collection invite you on a personal journey of discovery through the different faces of time. In addition, twice daily (2pm and 3pm), David Lamelas’ performance Time from 1970 is brought to life by visitors themselves. Following the artist’s instructions, you experience that time is more than a clock or calendar: it is something we experience, pass on, and shape together.

The Machine
Dia Chelsea, New York
March 6, 2026–January 16, 2027

Dia is pleased to announce a comprehensive survey exhibition of the Argentinian artist’s work and his first major solo presentation in New York. A foundational yet overlooked figure of 1960s and 1970s art, Lamelas has produced paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, and films, bridging Conceptual, Minimalist, and Pop approaches to art making. The presentation at Dia Chelsea comprises three parts—a performance, an exhibition, and a film program. Preceding the exhibition, 1416 m3 (2014) is performed in the galleries on February 18, 2026. Opening on March 6, the nonlinear exhibition emphasizes key moments from the artist’s career, surveying 1965 to the present through a diverse selection of works. In parallel, the films presented in the program space further expand the physical dimension of the exhibition. Together, the three chapters reveal the artist’s lifelong preoccupations with information and communication, and how they are mediated by the viewer’s perception.

Seriously.
Curated by Nana Bahlmann
November 21, 2025–January 31, 2026
London

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Seriously., a group exhibition curated by Nana Bahlmann, featuring over a hundred conceptual photographs, print media, and select films ranging from the 1960s to the present, which expose the absurdities of our world and its representations. Through visual wit, subversiveness, and even outright slapstick, these photographic experiments offer humorous conceptual investigations of how images are constructed and interpreted. Employing a range of strategies, from masquerade and role-play to the construction of inexplicable scenarios, unexpected juxtapositions, and idiosyncratic sculptural compositions, these works reveal the farcical and fantastical within the visual realm. In reframing our visual world through satire and playful mimicry, they create space for both reflection and amusement.

Time as Activity
September 7–October 21, 2017
Los Angeles

David Lamelas’ Time as Activity (1969–2017) is the Argentine artist’s groundbreaking and ongoing series of structural films and videos. First conceived in the late 1960s in the early days of the conceptual art movement, of which Lamelas was an integral part, Time as Activity has grown to include numerous iterations, each filmed in different cities throughout Europe and the Americas.

January 29–April 2, 2016
Berlin

David Lamelas has been an iconic figure in conceptual art for over fifty years. In the 1960s and 1970s, his early experiments in structuralist film and media installations evolved an on-going exploration of a number of core conceptualist concerns. For his fourth solo show with Sprüth Magers, he brings together a range of important film and sculptural works dating from 1966 to 1993 that thrive with antagonisms of space and language, the limit of art’s temporality, as well as its potential for providing new models of knowledge and self-awareness. In addition, a thoughtful reconsideration of his 1970s ‘Reading Films’ is presented in a new multimedia installation, Mon Amour (2014).

Source Codes juxtaposes a selection of works by a number of artists and filmmakers from Europe and America who mapped essential conceptual groundwork in the 1960s and 1970s and whose work remains influential to many artists today By examining new ways to rethink and translate visual information and cultural codes in the gaps between Minimalism and Pop Art, and through an interest in process-based performative practice, their work has exerted significant influence on younger artists in a variety of ways.

Uneasy Angel / Imagine Los Angeles is a thematic exhibition comprising the creative production of contemporary artists, writers, and filmmakers living and working in Los Angeles. In light of Umberto Eco’s and Jean Baudrillard’s notion of hyperreality, the exhibition perceives Los Angeles as just such a place—with unclear boundaries separating reality and the imaginary.

David Lamelas
September 6–September 29, 2007
London

David Lamelas emerged in the early sixties with an arsenal of artistic strategies and a clarity of concept that at the time had not previously been formulated within any cultural context in Europe and the United States. Characteristically, his use of different media is wide ranging, and has included sculpture, site specific installation and performance, as well as drawings, photographs and film, the latter of which he is perhaps most known for. What unifies this wide range of medium is the artist‘s focus on the transmission of “information”: the conditions for the production of art and its perception, the notion of 'time' and 'space', the role of the viewer, and perhaps more crucially the generation and manipulation of meaning in contemporary mass media.
