Exhibitions – Sprüth Magers

Robert Irwin
December 4, 2021–March 26, 2022

Berlin

Sprüth Magers is delighted to present an exhibition of new works by the celebrated American artist Robert Irwin, his second solo presentation at the Berlin gallery and his third with Sprüth Magers. Irwin has spent over six decades producing art that examines our experience of seeing and moving through the world, heightening viewers’ awareness of their senses and surroundings. This exhibition features two bodies of work: several new Unlights (Irwin’s unlit fluorescent wall works, which emit no light) and a group of acrylic sculptural configurations.

Nancy Holt
Mirrors of Light
November 25, 2021–February 5, 2022

Berlin

Sprüth Magers is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition by Nancy Holt at the Berlin gallery, featuring her iconic installation, Mirrors of Light I (1973–74). Throughout her practice, Holt was interested in the use of light as a medium, while simultaneously examining it as subject matter in its own right. In this installation, light is a conceptual entity and a physical reality, a practical resource and an aesthetic object. As is the case with the majority of Holt’s oeuvre, Mirrors of Light I creates an opportunity for self-examination through the perceptions that arise in the face of her work.

Andrea Zittel: A-Z West Works
Pop-up Store

Berlin

Sprüth Magers is delighted to announce Andrea Zittel: A-Z West Works, a pop-up store at Sprüth Magers Window in Berlin, presenting handmade ceramic bowls and hand-woven textiles produced by her studio A-Z West in the Californian desert next to Joshua Tree National Park. Each object is one of a kind. Since 2000, A-Z West has functioned as the artist’s home and testing ground where physical works are created and lived with as an experiment in “investigative living.”

Dates and opening times:
November 27th, 11:00–6:00pm
December 4th, 11:00–6:00pm
December 11th, 11:00–6:00pm

October 8–December 22, 2021

Los Angeles

Sprüth Magers, Los Angeles is pleased to present a solo exhibition of work by Cao Fei that highlights the artist’s recent projects, presenting several of them in Los Angeles for the first time. Films and photographs from her feature-length films Nova (2019) and Asia One (2018), as well as photographs related to previous groundbreaking projects such as Haze and Fog (2013) and La Town (2014), will transform the Los Angeles gallery, transporting visitors through the artist’s reflections on the rapid urbanization of her native China in the wake of mass cultural, social and technological upheavals.

Pamela Rosenkranz
Healer
October 8–December 22, 2021

London

At her first solo exhibition at Sprüth Magers, London, Pamela Rosenkranz shows sensory and atmospheric works in which light, sound and color play an essential role. On the main floor, visible from outside through the large window front, as if in a terrarium, lives a robotic snake covered with kirigami scales. Shimmering paintings on mirrors and aluminum, painted with semi-transparent pale pink paint, reflect the green light projected from the ceiling. Flickering LED spotlights illuminate seemingly ephemeral objects resting on transparent pedestals. Materiality and message merge. In her oeuvre, Rosenkranz questions the certainties of authentic human experience, perceiving people as permeable membranes at the interface between nature and artificiality. Drawing on themes that we encounter in our everyday, visually overcharged lives, Rosenkranz creates links that allow us to make unexpected connections between objects and ideas, while at the same time unsettling us.
