Gala Porras-Kim – The categorical bind – London

Gala Porras-Kim
The categorical bind
June 4–July 26, 2025

London

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 a solo exhibition 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.
Salvo, Andreas Schulze – About Painting – Los Angeles

Salvo, Andreas Schulze
About Painting
May 30–August 3, 2025

Los Angeles

The paintings of Andreas Schulze (*1955) and Salvo (1947–2015) depict intriguing worlds unlike any other. Across vibrant landscapes and eccentric interiors, their unique conceptual approaches to painting evolved over decades of experimentation with color, light and form. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are proud to present an exhibition of new works by Schulze alongside paintings by Salvo, bringing into focus their parallel contributions to the discourse of contemporary painting and their deft manipulation of paint to depict shifting spatial and light effects. The exhibition’s presentation at the Los Angeles gallery brings into focus this particular concern with light and space—a feature so prevalent in the history of modern art in Southern California, from its impressionist, plein-air roots to the reflective plastics and resins of the 1960s onward.
Cyprien Gaillard – Retinal Rivalry – Berlin

Cyprien Gaillard
Retinal Rivalry
May 3–July 26, 2025

Berlin

Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024), is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. A decade after the premiere of Nightlife in 2015, Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honoured to present the German debut of Gaillard’s major new film installation during Gallery Weekend Berlin. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel view of the world around us. The solo show shares its title with the film and is completed by new wall sculptures.
Michail Pirgelis – Seven Springs – Berlin

Michail Pirgelis
Seven Springs
May 3–July 26, 2025

Berlin

Seven Springs presents a new group of wall and floor sculptures by Michail Pirgelis that feature stripes and other flag-like elements. Together with wallpaper installations – a recent extension of the artist’s practice – they highlight Pirgelis’ relentless synthesis of painting, sculpture and environment. Drawn from disused remnants of the airline industry, the works of Pirgelis both reinvigorate and challenge the conventions of post-minimalism, the readymade and conceptual art.
