Sylvie Fleury – New York

Sylvie Fleury
November 5–December 20, 2025

New York

Sylvie Fleury’s multimedia practice explores the interplay between fashion and art, scrutinizing the politics of consumerism and fetishism. This interrogation is as provocative—radically questioning the paradigms of desire and art history—as it is playful. Continuing their collaboration of over three decades, Sprüth Magers is pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring a selection of Fleury’s neon works alongside her installation She-Devils on Wheels Headquarters (2000). Her neons transform commercial slogans into meditations on consumption, exposing how desire and identity are commodified. Fleury’s use of neon—a quintessential advertising medium—deliberately merges art with commerce. She-Devils on Wheels Headquarters references both a 1968 film and the artist’s own women-only motoring club, founded in the ’90s after she was denied membership to a car-racing club. The installation features a red mural, neon “HOT HEELS” sign, blown-up magazine covers and club merchandise, ironically juxtaposing feminine paraphernalia with motorsport culture to critique gendered rituals.

Premiering concurrently, Fleury’s Performa Biennial 2025 commission will combine sculpture, movement and sound in a series of tableaux vivants.

Los Angeles

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present Horror, a group exhibition organized by Jill Mulleady featuring an intergenerational group of artists. The exhibition presents horror as both symptom and strategy, illuminating seen and unseen forces that inscribe themselves on human experience. Rooted in the shadows of trauma, repression, and social unrest, horror channels our deepest anxieties and weaves fictions that probe the intersection of societal collapse and psychological unease. Whether evoking Cold War paranoia, civil rights conflicts, radiation fears, surveillance anxieties, or the existential dread and hyperreality of our times, the works in the exhibition quietly surface the intimate, often suppressed tensions embedded within collective and individual realities. Here, horror is neither simply spectacle nor genre, but rather a potent aesthetic and psychological resource—a visceral means of navigating the contradictions that define our era.
