GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS
November 10, 2023–February 10, 2024
Public Reception: November 9

Los Angeles

Louise Lawler examines the conditions, procedures, presentations and boundaries of art. Her photographs and other interventions analyze the contextual production of meaning as well as the very infinitude of context. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to announce GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS, an exhibition of mostly new works by the artist at the Los Angeles gallery. Presenting pieces from her swiped, adjusted-to-fit, and traced series, Lawler investigates art history as well as her own work and questions both institutional and artistic authority.

Peter Fischli  David Weiss
November 22, 2023–February 3, 2024
Public Reception: November 21

London

Peter Fischli and David Weiss have a unique whimsical perspective on the mundane material of everyday life. Since they began working together in 1979, the artistic duo set out to document and investigate their surroundings, juxtaposing the ordinary with the spectacular. Sprüth Magers is pleased to announce an exhibition of famed works of central importance to Fischli and Weiss’ oeuvre in the London gallery. Revolving around the recurring figures of Rat and Bear, the show traces the brown rat (deemed a pest and ugly) and the panda bear (considered endangered and adorable) throughout the artists’ three decades of collaboration. Across video, slide projection, photography, kinetic sculpture and several works on paper, Fischli and Weiss playfully and humorously employ the animal costumes as vehicles for probing Western dualistic thought and its dependence on opposing principles.
