Sylvie Fleury
S.F.
September 22–November 4, 2023

London

Sylvie Fleury’s practice produces enticing works which let art, consumerism and life collide. Speaking to contemporary conditions, her sculptures, paintings, neon pieces and videos continue to defy expectations and definitions and remain plural. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce an extensive exhibition at Sprüth Magers, London, celebrating the gallery’s longstanding relationship with the artist and providing an insight into her spectacular and varied body of work spanning three decades. Transforming all of the gallery’s spaces, Fleury uses the strategies of the fashion, beauty and advertising industries to challenge paradigms of Western art history, its male modernist canon as well as examine the art world’s complicity with the dynamics of consumerism. Alongside several of Fleury’s iconic pieces, new works produced especially for the show will be on display.

Pamela Rosenkranz – Alien Blue – Berlin

Pamela Rosenkranz
Alien Blue
September 16–November 7, 2023

Berlin

An alluring and extramundane blue light emanates from the Window, Sprüth Magers’ Berlin storefront exhibition space that is sunken and high-ceilinged, allowing visitors to view displayed works from the street around the clock. The spectacular color or, to be precise, the wavelengths emitted by Pamela Rosenkranz’s Alien Blue Windows permeate the entire room and pour out of the building. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce a solo exhibition by the artist, showcasing five unique pieces from her enticing series alongside a selection of intricate kirigami works on paper.
Nora Turato – NOT YOUR USUAL SELF? – Berlin

Nora Turato
NOT YOUR USUAL SELF?
September 16–November 7, 2023

Berlin

In recent years, Nora Turato has emerged as one of the most exciting new voices on the contemporary art scene. Throughout her practice – which spans performance, video and graphic design – she examines the ephemeral nature of language, using text as her artistic source material. Drawing from film, advertising, literature, conversations, social media captions and theater, she deploys a collection of appropriated words, sentences, fragments and quotes with sharp wit and studied precision. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Nora Turato at Sprüth Magers, Berlin, which will debut a series of new enamel panels featuring a custom typeface as well as a site-specific wall painting that cut through the cacophony of everyday life and reflect on the vernacular of present-day visual culture and zeitgeist.
Bernd & Hilla Becher – Berlin

Bernd & Hilla Becher
September 16–November 7, 2023

Berlin

For over five decades, Bernd and Hilla Becher produced a remarkable oeuvre in the pursuit of a straightforward theme: variation within limits. Precision, fine detail and methodology mark the Bechers’ work, which straddles several artistic categories. By systematically photographing commonplace industrial buildings across Europe and North America, they captured an architectural landscape in the process of disappearing. Approaching the structures with scientific interest, the artists classified, compared and contrasted their subjects in varying groups and ‘typologies,’ as they named their celebrated grids. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce Bernd and Hilla Becher’s first solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers, Berlin. Showcasing the Bechers’ iconic style and formal rigor will be several seldom-seen works along with two typologies, one of which features a rare amount of twenty-four photographs – intriguing images that allude to the cultural and social significance of the constructions the artists referred to as ‘anonymous sculptures.’

Analia Saban – Synthetic Self – Los Angeles

Analia Saban
Synthetic Self
September 15–October 28, 2023

Los Angeles

The work of Analia Saban, which spans a plethora of media and approaches, has consistently explored the meanings we give to the objets and technologies that inform our everyday lives. Sprüth Magers and Tanya Bonakdar Gallery are pleased to present Synthetic Self, an exhibition of new work by Saban on view at their Los Angeles galleries. Comprising sculpture, painting, tapestries and other newly reimagined artistic media, the artist investigates subjects of paramount importance today at the intersection of environmental concerns, artificial intelligence and the human mind.
Kaari Upson – Body as Landscape – New York

Kaari Upson
Body as Landscape
September 9–October 21, 2023

New York

The work of Kaari Upson was always profoundly concerned with the body, its interactions with the psyche, as well as its relation to other bodies both real and imagined. Limbs, eyes and other features populate her sculptures, paintings, drawings and videos; even in her abstractions, folds and orifices abound. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honored to present Body as Landscape, an exhibition of Upson’s work at the New York gallery that offers an in-depth look at her multilayered, kaleidoscopic drawings, filled with bodily presences and texts rife with psychological exploration; alongside one of her celebrated “mother’s leg” sculptural installations which have never previously been shown in the US.
