Rosemarie Trockel’s works blend conceptual challenges and material properties, notions of femininity and masculinity, everyday objects and art history. The exhibition Material navigates between theoretical concepts and physical experiences, with the artist’s works confronting prevailing ideas, often revisiting and reevaluating her own work in the process.

Trockel’s two-part exhibition—opening concurrently at Sprüth Magers and Gladstone in New York—continues to develop motifs and themes from the artist’s multilayered œuvre. The new works, created especially for The Kiss at Gladstone, are connected through a network of cross-references to both recent pieces and rarely shown historical works in Material at Sprüth Magers.

The sculpture Lol Stein (ca. 1990), named after Marguerite Duras’ novel The Ravishing of Lol Stein, serves as a tribute to one of the most important French literary figures. Duras’ story challenges patriarchal discourse by depicting a woman who confronts her psychological wounds through unconventional means, ultimately exploring her sexuality in a transgressive manner. Trockel’s sculpture comprises eleven small sponge rubber objects, lightly coated with paint in certain areas. Their diverse structures and forms, ranging from rounded mushroom-like shapes to those that resemble miniature cliffs, are presented like geological findings in a slender vitrine. These abstract visualizations of the novel’s themes play with malleability and the duality between softness and solidity, concepts underscored by the work’s title, as Stein not only refers to Duras’ protagonist but is also German for “stone.” The foam’s adaptability allows Trockel to create forms that evoke both domestic environments and conceptual ideas about identity, trauma and the female body.

 

Gallery room with brown walls, wooden floors, and bay windows. Features minimalist exhibition with freestanding sculptures and wall-mounted artworks.

Material showcases a selection of tension-filled pieces rich in binary oppositions, inviting exploration of contrasting concepts such as firmness versus softness, external versus internal, opaque versus transparent, humanity versus animality, and nature versus culture.

 

Three minimalist artworks mounted on brown gallery wall: large cream panel with dotted line and two smaller panels in cream and pale green.

 

The series of plexiglass wallworks Less-than (2017/24) recalls the punch cards that once stored fabric designs for the semi-automated loom. Referring to this eighteenth-century invention that marked a pivotal moment in the history of computing hardware, the work engages with themes of feminism, artistic production, craft, industrial production and originality. These works relate to the influential “knitting paintings,” with which Trockel first garnered attention in the 1980s. Made from wool and machine-produced, these pieces engage with notions surrounding masculinity and manufacturing, yet are deeply intertwined with the materials associated with women’s labor and the techniques of traditionally feminine handicrafts.

Gallery corner with brown walls and wooden floor displaying four minimalist cream-colored artworks with simple line cuts, dotted lines, and curved forms.

Many of Trockel’s sculptural works play on dichotomies and juxtapose materials and ideas: casts of cuts of meat, painted white or black and mounted on curved clear plexiglass panels, call to mind the complex interplay of disgust and pleasure, question notions of value and objectification, and vividly evoke brutality.

Material and The Kiss display the artist’s tongue-in-cheek wit, along with her remarkable ability to recombine and recontextualize familiar forms and motifs in new and ambiguous ways. Trockel’s approach is grounded in her ability to deftly combine different materials together into resolved and aesthetic compositions that pursue beauty within their formal solutions.

Gallery installation with warm brown walls featuring two wall-mounted rectangular frames with pale green and pink borders, plus two floating benches with white cushions, one with a wooden frame and one with a white frame.

Trockel frequently employs doors and windows as recurring motifs, drawing on their rich art historical associations and referencing Duchamp’s ironical take on Alberti’s definition of painting as an open window onto the world. In Time She Stopped (2004), for example, the pictorial square—a ceramic slab within a wooden frame that subtly echoes the form of a window—is punctured by a hole, inviting a dialogue with its art historical predecessors and the gendered constructs they embody, while also addressing the inherent limitations of representation.

Gallery space with brown walls, track lighting, wood flooring, and bay windows. Features wall-mounted artworks including green and pink frames, black pieces, and two floating platform beds.

 

Works such as Mute Servant (2024) and Speakers’ Corner (2012) overtly address sociopolitical subjects, encapsulating the sense of resistance and violence that permeates much of the artist’s œuvre.

Mute Servant, a ceramic cast of an eighteenth to nineteenth-century musket, represents one of the first firearms designed for mass production, invoking a historical link to brutal societal conflict.

Speakers’ Corner, comprised of two ceramic boxes, derives its title from the area designated for public speaking and political debate. The most famous of these is in London’s Hyde Park, which is often held up as a bastion of freedom of speech and has attracted influential figures such as Karl Marx, George Orwell and Marcus Garvey. In the early 1900s, it became a venue for the Suffragettes, who held Votes for Women meetings there. Speakers used soapboxes as platforms to stand on during their speeches, which is the form Trockel poignantly references here to reflect on today’s tumultuous political climate.

Gallery wall with brown background featuring multiple artworks: yellow work in clear frame, white rectangular work installed horizontally, and white/yellow geometric cube structure mounted at different heights.

 

Untitled (1989) is a wall-mounted cuboid fashioned from foam rubber. Focusing on the plinth itself and elevating the typically plain, white-painted wooden stand used to present sculpture into a work of art in its own right, the piece plays with ideas regarding representation and display. Its choice of material introduces a sense of fragility and transformation, as the flexible, porous substance subverts notions of permanence and sculpture, threatening to change over time.

The influences on the procedures of presentation and reception are reflected in both exhibitions, particularly through the use of plexiglass labels displaying each work’s title. Emphasizing the crucial role language plays in Trockel’s creations, the placards underline her titles as integral elements that either add to or unsettle the layers of meaning within her works.

 

Contemporary gallery space with brown walls displaying white rifle sculpture, mounted rectangular artworks, and metallic sculpture resembling a leg on yellow pedestal. Wooden flooring and molding complete the exhibition space.

 

Across both exhibitions, Trockel’s ongoing engagement with themes of domesticity, technology, the body and art history create a rich dialogue with her oeuvre. These compelling evolutions and reinterpretations emphasize the cyclical and multidimensional quality of her inventive artworks.
