“I am interested in how a large painting can create a physical experience of protection and containment. I thin my oil paint to the transparency of watercolor and apply it to canvases as they lay flat on the floor. This method allows me to control the paint’s liquidity, activating a quick and improvisational way of mark making.” —Rebecca Morris

The second annual presentation of Studio Sound—a performance series that champions artists and musicians whose work engages new possibilities for sound and music—premieres If you unfolded us, a new opera by interdisciplinary artist and writer Sable Elyse Smith, in collaboration with composer David Dominique and vocalist Freddie June.
If you unfolded us is an immersive multimedia work, for two voices (Freddie June and S T A R R Busby) and an eight-piece ensemble, comprising a series of songs that weave together an unfolding love story between two Black women and the protagonist’s journey of self-discovery. Dominique’s score fuses traditional and popular musical forms, with influences ranging from R&B and jazz to musique concrète and contemporary chamber music. Set against the backdrop of a developing storm, the performance explores the political, collective, and dramatic potential of the voice, as well as the ways in which language dissolves through sonic expression.
Smith has written the libretto and created video for the performance. Taking a cinematic approach, she combines found footage with imagery from the performers’ interior worlds. In addition to the live performances, during the hours listed below the Studio transforms into a multimedia installation, featuring the work’s video and sound.

The American Cinematheque and Regen Projects are pleased to announce a retrospective screening of Matthew Barney's seminal film series, The Cremaster Cycle.
Spanning over three decades, Barney’s oeuvre is notably unencumbered by form; he has expressed his vision through drawing, sculpture, installation, photography, and of course, filmmaking. A former athlete, Barney’s artistic projects often explore new ways of thinking about the body, utilizing custom prosthetics, elaborate costuming, and unconventional materials to produce avant-garde narratives and imagery. The Cremaster Cycle is a five-film anthology, shot out of order, that has spawned accompanying works in sculpture, photography, and installation. Barney’s filmic narratives move beyond biology to explore creation through other disciplines—from mythology to geology—yet often return to the stage of development before sexual differentiation, a moment in which all outcomes are possible.
Join the American Cinematheque for a screening series presenting all of the works in The Cremaster Cycle, and visit Barney’s newest film and installation, SECONDARY: commencement, on view at Regen Projects through August 17, 2024.

Organized as a compliment to Matthew Barney’s SECONDARY exhibition, presented at the Fondation Cartier from June 8 – September 8, 2024, Nomadic Nights invites four movement artists from Barney's latest film and installation project to present in-situ performances. Additionally, Fondation Cartier has organized two off-site screenings of the complete Cremaster Cycle, taking place at Christine Cinéma Club, Paris, on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30.

Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of New York-based artist Aliza Nisenbaum. The artist will present new work at Art Basel this June and debut her first exhibition with the gallery on September 12, 2024.
On the occasion of the announcement, Shaun Caley Regen stated:
“I first encountered Aliza Nisenbaum’s work at the 2017 Whitney Biennial, and through a mutual friend we arranged to meet for the first time that year, I was quite intrigued by the figurative nature of the work, how it engaged in social practice, and celebrated often less visible communities. Aliza and I stayed in touch, and finally, in March of 2020, I was able to visit her in a temporary studio in Los Angeles where she had just completed the most stunning portrait of a salsa dancer. Everything from the colors to the composition were magnificent, as though Aliza’s love and care for her subject exalted her in the most caring and profound way. Of course, this was the beginning of Covid and the quarantine, but also the beginning of a great dialogue with Aliza about her continuing search for sincere connections to the world around us. Aliza is a generous and thoughtful humanist, and a very diligent painter. I am thrilled that Regen Projects will be representing her.”

James Welling will embark on a monthlong residency at the American Academy in Rome, beginning May 20. Known for his innovative and experimental approach to the medium, Welling is this year’s Richard Grubman and Caroline Mortimer Photographer in Residence.
On Monday, May 13, at 6 pm, Rachel Harrison will deliver a free, public lecture at the University of Chicago’s Logan Center for the Arts. Organized as part of the Deborah Goodman Davis and Gerald Davis Lecture Series—which brings culturally impactful voices to the university’s community—Harrison’s talk will focus on her 2022 solo presentation at the Astrup Fearnley Museum in Oslo, Norway. Entitled Sitting in a Room, the exhibition featured recent works in sculpture, painting, drawing, and photography that merge formalist concerns with vernacular elements from the outside world.

Wolfgang Tillmans's second studio album, Build From Here, is now available on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal. The 14-track album has already received acclaim from PAPER Magazine, AnOther, and GQ Germany, among other publications.
In an article for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis writes that in listening to Build From Here, “you can see why Tillmans’s music has attracted attention: it is filled with beautifully sad melodies, intriguing electronic atmospheres, songs that sit somewhere between synthpop and club music. It’s also threaded with field recordings and found sounds that Tillmans calls ‘audio photography.’”

Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of Glasgow-based artist Alberta Whittle. The artist will debut her first exhibition with the gallery from March 16 – May 18, 2024.
“I am so thrilled Regen Projects will be working with Alberta Whittle,” Shaun Caley Regen said. “I was lucky to meet her in Glasgow in 2022, and her warmth, intelligence, and vision for her work were immediately palpable. Likewise, when I first saw Alberta's paintings I was taken by their remarkable newness. They are joyous, dynamic, and ebullient in their embrace of craft, folklore, and heritage. There is a freedom in her practice in all the media she embraces, that sends a message of hope amongst the harsh realities of our times, in particular legacies of racism, colonialism, and patriarchy worldwide. Alberta parses all of this and unravels it beautifully, offering an alternative vision and paths to navigate this moment.”
Click here to read the press release for Learning a new punctuation for hope in times of disaster, which presents a suite of new paintings and sculptural works by Whittle, as well as the North American debut of Lagareh – The Last Born, 2022.

Congratulations to Kevin Beasley, recipient of the 28th Heinz Award for the Arts!
The Pittsburgh-based Heinz Family Foundation presents six awards annually to individuals making exceptional contributions to the Arts, the Economy, and the Environment, with two recipients in each category. "I have a belief that histories are not only written through language but even more importantly inscribed, collected and gathered through objects, ephemera, and places we encounter,” Beasley explained, upon the occasion of the award. “Whether it’s the texture of a weathered surface or the accumulation of stuff, the presence and existence of our activities and ultimately our lives is evidenced by what we leave behind, from footprints to legacy.”

On the occasion of Gallery Weekend Los Angeles, Regen Projects is pleased to restage Moving Images, a screening of dances for film and video selected by the painter Silke Otto-Knapp. Originally presented on March 6, 2020 at The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago as part of Silke Otto-Knapp: In the waiting room, this special screening offers an illuminating pendant to the gallery’s ongoing exhibition dedicated to the artist. Deeply invested in modern and contemporary dance, performance, and film, Otto-Knapp engaged these forebears as both inspirational archive and creative analogy for the theatrically of her own paintings and works on paper.

Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of New York-based artist Georgia Gardner Gray. The artist will present her first exhibition with the gallery in 2025.
On the announcement, Shaun Caley Regen stated, "The first time I saw a painting by Georgia Gardner Gray, it was immediately arresting. It told a tale, and it was entertaining. It had a witty repartee, and a reve d’enfant sense of beauty (and horror). Neither dystopic nor naive, it set up an irreverent scenario that the best stories manage to convey. Upon meeting her and putting the person with the work, it was clear that Georgia's innate intelligence and imagination make for a brilliant palette from which to draw. I am thrilled to be working with her, and to share these exquisite paintings with our audience."

Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of Rebecca Morris, a Los Angeles-based artist who has dedicated her thirty-year career to the exploration of abstraction. Morris will present her first exhibition with the gallery in 2025.
Speaking in relation to the announcement Shaun Caley Regen said, “We are thrilled to be working with Rebecca Morris. I first encountered her work in Made in L.A. 2016 at the Hammer Museum, curated by Aram Moshayedi and Hamza Walker. And more recently in her breathtaking monographic survey at the ICA LA curated by Jamillah James. Rebecca is a master of abstraction with a mature and honed painterly vocabulary. The idiosyncratic dexterity and rigorous approach to her work places her front and center in the current dialogue around abstract painting. It’s exciting to welcome this extraordinary, brilliant, and essential artist into our program. I look forward to her survey exhibition opening at the MCA Chicago in the fall, and to our first exhibition with Rebecca in 2025.”

Now on shelves, Rachel Harrison: Sitting in a Room documents the artist's eponymous 2022–2023 presentation at the Astrup Fearnley Museet in Oslo, which spanned media including sculpture, drawing, photography, and painting.
This richly-illustrated catalogue reproduces the artist's distinctive approach to the exhibition. Harrison configured five of the museum's galleries as discrete rooms, exploring setting in its various guises. From Sculpture Court and Town Square to Gym, Living Room, and Cabinet, Sitting in a Room placed the viewer in contexts both intimate and public. Original texts by Negar Azimi, Anne Dressen, Lars Bang Larsen, and Solveig Øvstebø expand on the conceptual trajectories proposed by the exhibition.

Join Liz Larner on Friday, November 11, at 2 pm (in-person or online) for the panel discussion Futuring the Present: Proposals for Eco-social Futurisms, organized by the Orange County Museum of Art as part of the Sea Change Symposium.
When we talk about futures, whose futures and what kinds of futures are we imagining? Techno-futurisms, for example, might provide quick fixes to pressing issues, while allowing the structural conditions causing such issues to remain in place. Speculative futurisms are often oriented toward the grandiose nature of what-could-be yet might be too removed from the present to effect meaningful change. This panel invites a discussion of other kinds of alternative or nonlinear temporalities of becoming, including many Indigenous cultures that view the past, present, and future as occurring simultaneously, one temporal moment existing in close relation with the others. How might a reorientation toward that which-has-been and that-which-is provide equal, if not more insightful, approaches toward considering just environmental futures for the Pacific Ocean? What new and ancestral insights can artistic and curatorial engagements with these questions produce?

It is with profound sadness that Regen Projects announces the passing of artist Silke Otto-Knapp (1970–2022).
Born in Osnabrück, Germany, Silke Otto-Knapp earned an MA from Chelsea College of Art and Design, London, in 1996, and a degree in Cultural Studies from the University of Hildesheim, Germany, in 1997. The artist lived for many years in Los Angeles, where she worked and taught at the University of California Los Angeles as Professor of Painting and Drawing in the School of Art and Architecture since 2015.
Otto-Knapp made an indelible impact through her singular work as an artist. Her generosity as a friend, mentor, colleague and teacher was deeply felt by all that encountered her. Otto-Knapp’s oeuvre is defined by monochromatic watercolor paintings, many of which derive their subject matter from the history of theater, dance, and performance. Her atmospheric works explore interrelations between the real and the ideal, the personal and the social, referencing moments, images, and landscapes, transforming and transcending their origins.
Stars Don’t Stand Still in the Sky: A Tribute to Lawrence Weiner is the subject of three recent reviews. For the LA Weekly, Shana Nys Dambrot reviews the show in "Writings on the Wall: A Tribute to Lawrence Weiner at Regen Projects," which appears online and in the paper's September 23 – 28 print issue. Hannah Bhuiya spotlights the exhibition in her September 22 review for Flaunt, "Lawrence Weiner | Stars Don't Stand Still in the Sky Tribute." For Ocula Magazine, Nicholas Nauman surveys Weiner's outsized impact on Conceptual art—and visual culture as a whole—in "Lawrence Weiner's Cross-Generational Tribute in L.A. Distills to a 'Portrait.'"

This workshop will reexamine Photorealism and to trace its lineages in art of the present day—lineages that have zigged and zagged as the status of the photograph has undergone radical shifts and re-imaginings in the realms of fine art, technology, and everyday life. Topics include trompe l’oeil; the pose; representation of people of historically marginalized identities; visual codes of taste and class; and the permeation of personal cameras in everyday life.
The workshop takes place in Schermer Meeting Hall and consists of lectures and discussion. Register here.
On the occasion of the exhibition Liz Larner: Don’t put it back like it was, join poet, playwright, and performance artist Ariana Reines and poet Carmen Giménez Smith for an intimate in-gallery program at Walker Art Center.
Reines and Giménez Smith will read select poems that uplift, illuminate, resituate, and connect with Liz Larner’s work and artistic practice: “I believe her to be an artist concerned with transformation, who is changed by what she makes, and who intends change for those who really relate, actually relate, in the room, on the sidewalk, to what she has put there,” says Reines of Larner, in an excerpt from the exhibition’s catalogue.

Somewhere between a Western and cinematic tone poem, Matthew Barney’s acclaimed film Redoubt, 2019, has been called by the Los Angeles Times “as much an experience as a film.” Redoubt unfolds as a series of hunts in the wilderness of Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains. The characters communicate a mythological narrative through dance, letting movement replace language as they pursue each other and their prey. Join the Momentary for a showing of Redoubt alongside a visit to its current exhibition A Divided Landscape.
Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online or by calling Guest Services at (479) 657-2335.

CATASTERISM, a new film by Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler, will be presented as a streaming premiere during Art Basel. CATASTERISM was written and directed by Matthew Barney with music written and directed by Jonathan Bepler. The film will go live internationally on June 12 at 2 pm CET / 8 am ET / 5 am PT and will only be available for two weeks on www.catasterism.net, until June 26, 2022.
In September 2021, Barney and Bepler presented a live performance at Schaulager, titled Catasterism in Three Movements. This collaboration featured a large-scale symphonic composition by Bepler, performed by the Basel Sinfonietta with conductor Jack Sheen; and choreography developed by Barney with dance artists K.J. Holmes and Sandra Lamouche. CATASTERISM draws from documentation of those performances witnessed by a live audience and expands the narrative with cinematic scenes filmed in the galleries and workspaces of Schaulager. The film elaborates on the characters’ private rituals and deploys forensic examinations of artworks within Schaulager to evoke connections between the material qualities of art objects and the ephemeral qualities of the music. With musicians moving through and inhabiting the building in varying locations an d configurations, Schaulager's iconic architecture becomes a monumental acoustic body, as well as an almost ceremonial stage for performers. The project continues Barney’s and Bepler’s long history of collaborative projects with distinguished musicians in experimental and unconventional settings.
As part of Zurich Art Weekend, Liz Larner is in conversation with Professor Catherine De Wolf, Assistant Professor of Circular Engineering for Architecture in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at the ETH Zürich.

Lawrence Weiner will be honored tomorrow at the Oskar Kokoschka Award Ceremony 2022 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
Weiner was selected by a ten-member jury to receive the Oskar Kokoschka Prize, one of Austria’s most important prizes for visual arts, awarded every two years with an endowment from the Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research. The jury selected Weiner for ‘his unmistakable formal language, which oscillates between the poetic and the political.’ The prize will be awarded posthumously to Weiner and received by his family.
Pictured here, the artist adapted his text-based installation Smashed to pieces (in the still of the night) for the façade of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Regen Projects, Lisson Gallery, Marian Goodman, and 303 Gallery today mourn a great artist, Dan Graham, who sadly died this weekend in New York. His influence over the past half century as a writer, photographer, architect, sculptor, filmmaker, and performance artist is widely felt in the contemporary art world, with many of his groundbreaking endeavours in video, installation, and audience participation—including such legendary and confrontational works as Performer/Audience/Mirror (1975) and Public Spaces/Two Audiences (1976)—among the first and most enduring examples ever created in those fields.
Despite his recent disavowal of Conceptual Art as a term, he was one of its earliest pioneers through early text-based works, typographic wall pieces and schematic poems, not to mention the seminal illustrated magazine essay, Homes for America (1966). He exhibited the work of his peers Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Robert Smithson at the John Daniels Gallery in New York, where he was briefly the curator and director, before showing alongside these and many other Minimalists and Conceptualists during the 1960s and 70s.
The main focus of Graham’s art since the late 1970s was an ongoing series of public architectural installations, which he called pavilions, derived from geometric forms and rendered in plate glass, two-way mirror, and steel armatures. Graham intended his pavilions to function as punctuation marks, pausing or altering the experience of physical space, providing momentary diversion for romance or play, or else as places to delve into other activities, like reading or viewing videos. These deceptively simple structures recall many of the artist’s earlier experiments with perception, reflection, and refraction, but depart from them in their non-gallery setting as long-term additions to the landscape.
Graham had an encyclopedic sphere of references and wrote about everything from Dean Martin and rock music to astrology and urban architecture. He is survived by his wife, the artist Mieko Meguro. His wit, generosity, and irascibility will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathies are with his family and friends.

Serpentine Gallery has released details of its twenty-first Serpentine Pavilion commission, designed by Theaster Gates. Opening to the public on June 10, Black Chapel draws inspiration from the architectural typologies of chapels and the great kilns of Stoke-on-Trent, England. A single source of light coming from an oculus creates a sanctuary-like setting for reflection and conviviality as the Pavilion once again becomes a platform for live performances and public convenings.
“Coming out of Covid, I thought how nice it would be to have a place of quietude. It’s a place for people to be with their thoughts and rest, a sacred chapel where you can sit and be reflective. It should give you the ability to touch your inside self," Gates told The Guardian.
Designed with the architectural support of Adjaye Associates, Gates’s Serpentine Pavilion 2022 is part of The Question of Clay, a multi-institution project by the artist taking place in London in 2021 and 2022.

Congratulations to Sable Elyse Smith, who is among 63 artists selected to participate in Whitney Biennial 2022: Quiet as It's Kept, co-organized by David Breslin and Adrienne Edwards. This will be the eightieth iteration in the long-running series of annual and biennial exhibitions launched by the Museum’s founder, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, in 1932. The 2022 Biennial takes over most of the Whitney from April 6 – September 5, with portions of the exhibition and some programs continuing through October 23, 2022.
Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of Sable Elyse Smith.
Working in video, sculpture, photography, and text-based artworks, Smith draws attention to American systems of inequity. Her work focuses on the largely unseen personal, political, and quotidian impact that state-funded penal, educational, and economic structures have on culture at large. Smith makes this visible by recontextualizing materials, symbols, forms, and value systems from these bureaucratic programs to make new meaning.
Shaun Caley Regen states, “I am honored to be able to work with Sable Elyse Smith. We are excited to present her poignant work that speaks so eloquently to systems of injustice and trauma with poetic aplomb and great formal beauty. It will be a pleasure to present her first solo exhibition in Los Angeles at Regen Projects in 2023, and to support the work going forward. This is an exciting moment for Sable and her ambitious projects, which will be presented in numerous institutional shows this upcoming year. Rarely have I seen work that is so emotive and revelatory of systemic injustice and what that space feels like.”

STARS DON’T STAND STILL IN THE SKY
– Lawrence Weiner
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the loss of our dear friend Lawrence Weiner, who was a titan in art and a visionary in our lifetime. He passed away on December 2 at the age of 79.
Lawrence was born in the Bronx in 1942. His radical approach to dematerializing the art object paved the way for many language-based and conceptual artists to come, rewriting the course of art history. His generosity and intelligence engendered so many things, including the beginnings of our gallery in 1989. It has been an honor to work with him so closely over the years, and we continue to be humbled by his kindness and his brilliance.
We will miss him dearly, and our heartfelt condolences go out to Alice and Kirsten and Henry.

Regen Projects is pleased to announce representation of Kevin Beasley, an artist whose practice is deeply invested in drawing out the histories latent in everyday materials and connecting these pasts to the present cultural landscape. The artist will present his first exhibition with the gallery in April 2022.
Speaking in relation to the announcement Shaun Caley Regen said, “I have long admired Kevin Beasley’s work and it is an honor to be working with him. Kevin’s innate ability to craft stunning and deeply affective art from materials that are unassuming and yet historically charged forms a poetic and critical voice in today’s art world. We are thrilled to welcome him to the gallery and are looking forward to his first exhibition at Regen Projects in late April 2022.”

Watch Jack Pierson's recent conversation with Andy Campbell on the occasion of his exhibition Less and more at Regen Projects. In the course of their thoughtful and captivating discussion, they reflected on some of the formative moments in Pierson's career and the development of his artistic voice, material excess, economy, and ephemerality, and the archival impulse and the significance of leaving a trace.
Jack Pierson uses photography, drawing, painting, collage, installation, and text-based sculpture to coax the poetic from the everyday—manifesting romantic affect, longing, and desire through seemingly banal objects, expressive sketches, and charged turns of phrase.
Andy Campbell is an Associate Professor of Critical Studies at USC’s Roski School of Art and Design, whose work foregrounds LGBTQ communities and their archives as wellsprings for histories of art and design.
Featuring speakers Tina M. Campt, Theaster Gates, Thelma Golden, Saidiya V Hartman, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, Arthur Jafa, Simone Leigh, Okwui Okpokwasili, Oluremi C. Onabanjo, and Bradford Young, this event is a celebration of Tina M. Campt’s new book A Black Gaze: Artists Changing How We See, and of contemporary artists’ attempts to shift how we interact with visual culture by reclaiming discomfort, refusal, and the work of feeling alongside one another.

Magazine's Megan O'Grady profiles Glenn Ligon for T Magazine's "The Greats" issue, on newsstands October 17: "For over 30 years, the artist has been making work that speaks to American history — ambiguous, open-ended, existentially observant. At a time in which the fundamentals of fact and fiction are being questioned, his art captures the truth of a culture in decline." Read the full profile here.

Congratulations to Theaster Gates, who has been announced as the winner of the Friedrich Kiesler Prize for Architecture and Art by the Austrian Friedrich and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation. Of its decision, the jury stated:
"By awarding the Kiesler Prize to Theaster Gates, the jury is acknowledging a concept artist who does not work inside the established architectural system or art world but who has found agency through his highly unusual and idiosyncratic practice. His artistic approach is characterized by transdisciplinarity, respect, inclusion, and participative processes. The most important objectives of his work are social change, spatial transformation, and empowerment. By imbuing this work with both an impressive aesthetic value and a social agenda, he has found a meaningful role for contemporary architecture. In this way, Theaster Gates connects Frederick Kiesler’s historic position with the urgent questions of our time.”

Lawrence Weiner’s 1973 film A First Quarter is presented by e-flux Video & Film as part of An Other Cinema, a program curated by Lukas Brasiskis.
“A First Quarter adopts the principles of Nouvelle Vague cinema as its role model. Simultaneous realities, altered flashbacks, plays on time and space are all components of the form and content of the film.…The dialogue consists entirely of the work as it is spoken and read, built, enacted, written, and painted by the players. As the scenarios build, they appear as tropes, one after another." —Alice Weiner

Join Sergej Jensen for an artist lecture this Wednesday, September 8 at 6 pm on the occasion of his exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern, which is on display through October 3, 2021.
For the Bienal de São Paulo, Silke Otto-Knapp has created a series of medium- and large-format paintings that form a kind of setting, both in terms of their subject matter and their arrangement inside the pavilion. Continuing her investigations into theatrical space, the chosen themes range from performers in motion to backdrops painted onto large canvases. The paintings rest on panels or function as folding screens and autonomous structures.
In each of the scenes, the idea of continuous rehearsal carries a sense of suspended movement. The motion exists not only in the action of the choreographic and/or theatrical subject itself but also in the way the public moves around the work. Meanwhile, the human-sized painted landscapes portray an artificial nature that contrasts with the vegetation surrounding the pavilion in Ibirapuera Park, creating a dualistic setting.

Join Willem de Rooij on Thursday, August 26, for a book presentation with writer Carl Haarnack and Zippora Elders, co-curator of sonsbeek20→24, where de Rooij’s work is currently presented. Through artistic research and appropriation, de Rooij’s installation and the newly published catalogue reflect on the genealogy and reception of images through the work of Pierre Verger, a 20th century photographer and ethnologist.
The publication consists of photographs and newly commissioned essays by Karin Amatmoekrim, Ayrson Heráclito, Philippe Pirotte, Richard Price, Willem de Rooij, and Gloria Wekker, each of which engages with the figure of Pierre Verger as well as the history and present of multiethnic Suriname, the hierarchies of the gaze, and the role of anthropology, both in Verger’s era and today.
The conversation takes place at 6 pm at Showroom Arnhem in the Netherlands.
The Cremaster Cycle is a series of five visually extravagant films created by artist Matthew Barney that blasted its way into the art world nearly 20 years ago and has had a lasting impact ever since. Its influence can be found in film, video, art, media, commerce, theater, and more. Barney himself performs characters as diverse as a satyr, a magician, and even the infamous murderer Gary Gilmore. Filmed over eight years, from 1994–2002, the films themselves are a grandiose mixture of history, autobiography, and mythology, creating an intensely private universe where symbols and images are layered and interconnected. Created for the big screen only and unavailable for many years, The Cremaster Cycle is a unique, must-see experience, guaranteed to leave you awestruck and mystified in a glorious way.

Green Lens is a living experiential artwork and destination located on the island of Isola Della Certosa in Venice, a sinking city strongly impacted by the rise of the oceans. The surrounding city creates a strong ecological narrative within the artwork that speaks to the idea of the future in the post-COVID world.
In the 21st century, we explore the complexities of how to create a balance and harmony with the natural environment. The trees and plants living in Green Lens will be donated to Isola della Certosa as part of a reforestation program and restructuring project to make the cloister ruins accessible again to Venezia citizens and its international public.

Co-organized by Ana Teixeira Pinto, Kader Attia, and Anselm Franke, The White West: Whose Universal? is an attempt to engage the overlaps between metaphysical predicates and colonial legacies, as well as the undertheorized continuities between fascism and settler colonialism. In this first part of the conference, Norman Ajari, A. Dirk Moses, Nikhil Pal Singh, and Françoise Vergès examine the politics of remembering and forgetting, ongoing attempts to decenter and recenter white futurity, and how the postwar decoupling of fascism from imperialism forecloses a decolonial critique of white supremacy.

A talk to present Phaidon’s beautifully printed monograph that presents a compelling visual narrative of Opie’s work since the early 1980s — the most comprehensive book on her work to date. For almost 40 years, Catherine Opie has been documenting with psychological acuity the cultural and geographic identity of contemporary America.
Created in close collaboration with the artist, Catherine Opie surveys her entire career and is organised along three themes that feature prominently in her practice: People, Politics, and Place. Within each thematic section, her work is presented non-chronologically, in order to tease out connections between series from across her oeuvre. The result is a dynamic visual narrative that, taken together, forms a full picture of her artistic vision, displaying the breadth and scope of her work.

Taking place on Sunday 2 May 2021, the second gathering of Fragments of Repair/Gatherings, The Body’s Legacies, Part 2: The Postcolonial Body consists of a screening of artist Kader Attia’s eponymous work (video, 2018, 48 min.), followed by a conversation between Olivier Marboeuf (writer, critic, and curator, Paris) and Ruth Wilson Gilmore (abolitionist scholar and activist, Lisbon).
This is the second gathering of Fragments of Repair/Gatherings, a hybrid off- and online series of lectures, conversations, screenings, and assembly forums around the theory and practice of “repair,” streamed from BAK, Utrecht, La Colonie/La Dynamo de Banlieue Bleues, Pantin, Paris, 17 April–1 August 2021.
The Body’s Legacies, Pt. 2: The Postcolonial Body tackles police violence and racial body politics in postcolonial France. Throughout the work four decolonial thinkers and activists—among whom Marboeuf—share thoughts around the subject of the individual and collective racialized body. The exchange pivots around a concrete, devastating instance of racially motivated police aggression where a young man of Congolese descent, Théo Luhaka, was assaulted by police officers following a race-based identity check in a Parisian banlieue in 2017. Weaved through personal recollections, philosophical perspectives, and sociological scrutiny, there emerges an unambiguous account of present-day police brutality and institutional racism. This powerful testimony of systemic oppression of Black lives draws a straight line from historical colonialism into the present and throws into crisis the self-congratulatory western narrative of progress and reason that has led to contemporary democracy with its supposed all-encompassing equity.

The Berlin Biennale is pleased to begin preparations for the 12th edition with the curatorship announcement. The 12th Berlin Biennale takes place in 2022.
For over two decades, Kader Attia has worked with the concept of “repair” in his artistic practice. It allows him to investigate the dialectic between destruction and repair, in which repair is understood as a way of cultural resistance as well as a means for a society or a subject to reappropriate their history and identity. Raised in France and Algeria, Kader Attia studied philosophy and art in Paris and Barcelona; today he lives and works in Berlin and Paris. In 2016, Kader Attia founded La Colonie in Paris’ 10th arrondissement as a space for the exchange of ideas and discussions focusing on decolonization, not only of people but also of knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Driven by the urgency of social and cultural reparation, it aims to reunite what has drifted apart or been broken. Since March 2020, La Colonie has been closed to the public due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In March 2021, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin hosts the fourth part of a conference series initiated by Kader Attia, Ana Teixeira Pinto, and Giovanna Zapperi entitled The White West.
Director Gabriele Horn and the team of the Berlin Biennale warmly welcome Kader Attia.

Anish Kapoor has succeeded in transforming the cool, conceptual, and minimal approach to sculpture by adding lyricism, metaphor, and the heat of the primordial. Objects spill out from their own parameters, yet they also stand serenely as in meditative focus as if for ritual. Typically, the sculptures appear abstract, with Kapoor's intention to promote self-reflection made most obvious when using mirrored surfaces. He does not wish to present a prescriptive idea, but instead to create an environment within which people themselves can consider meaning. As the viewer becomes part of the sculpture, each work speaks of the confined individuality of a single body, but also of the expansive inclusiveness of a shared place. His sculptures paradoxically entwine esoteric philosophy with sensual everyday experience. In this session, one of India’s greatest artists talks about his life and work with his friend Homi K. Bhabha.

The South London Gallery (SLG) is delighted to unveil artist Lawrence Weiner’s work, AT A DISTANCE TO THE FOREGROUND, 1999, installed on the gable end of the SLG’s Fire Station annexe. AT A DISTANCE TO THE FOREGROUND is the first permanent public artwork by Lawrence Weiner in London.
The work’s installation on the Fire Station follows that of another work by Weiner, ALL IN DUE COURSE, that was temporarily shown on the façade in 2014 as part of his solo show at the SLG of the same name, signalling the transition of the then semi-derelict building into a beautifully renovated annexe for the SLG. The idea of acquiring the work for the SLG came about before lockdown and social distancing had even been considered in the UK, so the contemporary resonance of the work is both coincidental and poignant.

Debuting February 9 on HBO, Black Art: In the Absence of Light offers a vital and illuminating introduction to the work of some of the foremost African American visual artists working today. Directed by Sam Pollard, the film shines a light on the extraordinary impact of curator David Driskell’s landmark 1976 exhibition, Two Centuries of Black American Art, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on generations of Black artists who have staked a claim on their rightful place within the 21st-Century art world. Interweaving insights and context from scholars and historians, along with interviews from a new generation of working African American curators and artists including Theaster Gates, Glenn Ligon, Kerry James Marshall, Faith Ringgold, Amy Sherald, and Carrie Mae Weems, the documentary is a look at the Contributions of Black American artists in today’s contemporary art world.

Regen Projects is pleased to feature our current exhibition of new work by Doug Aitken on galleryplatform.la. Conceived over the last 10 months, a time of profound change in the face of the pandemic, the works on view form an ecosystem of interconnected mediums. Each plays off the other, creating a choreography of images, language, and sound. At heart, the works are a portrait of a society moving toward the future.

Mutina for Art is pleased to announce that the This Is Not a Prize 2020 award has been assigned to artist Silke Otto-Knapp (Osnabrueck, 1970).
This Is Not a Prize is not just an annual award but also Mutina’s commitment to support a future project of the selected artist: from an exhibition to a collaboration with an international institution, a publication or the production of a new artwork.
Silke Otto-Knapp has been selected by the Mutina team, by its CEO Massimo Orsini and by the curator of Mutina for Art Sarah Cosulich, following a consideration on the importance and visibility that painting has recently reacquired. This year This Is Not a Prize wishes to recognize an international protagonist like Otto-Kapp, who with painting has brought forward in time an excellent and coherent path of great historical-artistic relevance. Despite belonging to the mid-generation, Silke Otto-Knapp can already be defined an “artists’ artist” for her reference role both on the level of practice and expression as well as of language and conceptual research.

Regen Projects is pleased to present Amalgam, a selection of artworks for Art Basel OVR: Miami Beach that speak to our present moment. This diverse grouping is unified by an approach to verbal or visual form that presents the unitary as the fragmented, the whole within the detail, and the sum within the parts. Loosely referencing the title of Theaster Gates’s 2019 exhibition at Palais de Tokyo and Tate Liverpool, Amalgam also has inspired this compendium. Literally an amalgam is the union of disparate objects merged into something new, a chemistry that mixes and blends.
Concurrent with the online fair, Regen Projects will be open by appointment at our gallery, with a special exhibition featuring highlights from our viewing room. To speak with or to make an appointment with a sales director please click here.

Artist Doug Aitken presents Flags, a new body of work that he has been developing over the last six months. The online premiere will be followed by a short conversation with Jefferson Hack. Join them on December 1, 2020 at 10:30 am PT via Zoom. Register here.
Flags is a series of handmade wall hanging works, forms created out of fabric cut from the artist's clothes and collaged into words, sentences and abstractions. The works explore language that create a new topography of ideas of the future. The artworks contemplate themes of our relationship to the landscape around us and the coexistence of the natural and man-made worlds. They investigate how the individual synchronizes with the present and how we are moving into the future as both individuals and as a society.

Moderated by The Studio Museum in Harlem Director Thelma Golden, the conversation includes Chicago’s Rebuild Foundation Founder Theaster Gates; Los Angeles’s Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Director Sandra Jackson-Dumont; Perez Art Museum Miami Director Franklin Sirmans; and New York University Academic Director and Professor Deborah Willis.

James Welling is an American photographer known for his mysterious color photographs. For 20 years Welling was Area Head of Photography ay UCLA and he presently is a lecturer at Princeton University and lives in New York. Welling's museum exhibition Choreograph, multilayered photographs of dance and architecture, opened last month at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, NY. Welling received his MFA from Cal Arts where he studied with John Baldessari. After graduating from Cal Arts he turned to photography and for 44 years he has worked with the elemental materials of the medium - light, subject, process, color - to fashon a personal vision that is continuously evolving. His latest work, Archaeology, recently exhibited at Regen Projects in Hollywood, takes a deep dive into the sculptures, architecture and objects of ancient Greece and Rome. For this show, Welling invented two new color photographic processes using gelatin, colored dyes and oil paint to create evocativere recollections of antiquity.
Theaster Gates has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship from The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). RIBA Honorary Fellowships are awarded every year to people who have made a significant contribution to architecture but are not architects. This includes people who have helped improve the quality of design and influence the delivery of the built environment in a more sustainable way, those involved in its promotion and management, and those who nurture the interests of future generations.

These photographs make up a selection of Welling’s current exhibition, Archaeology, on view at Regen Project through October 31. Photo: Evan Bedford.

Regen Projects presents an online solo exhibition of new baseball works by Raymond Pettibon on galleryplatform.la. This focused selection draws from a broader range of drawings currently on view at the gallery from September 12 – October 31.
One of the most significant artists of his generation, Pettibon’s distinctive style combines pen and ink figuration with hand-inscribed text and collage elements to create incisive works that probe the deeply embedded dualities of American culture. The deep well of sources and influences from which he draws — everything from comics, sports, world history, American politics, film noir, literature, and surf culture — coalesce into a lyrical rapture of high and low. His remarkable aesthetic is the result of the brazen approach Pettibon takes to drawing, unconcerned with the slipshod markings and concomitant blots, smears, and retracings that appear in its wake. This outwardly crude manner is underwritten by technical and linguistic mastery — an interplay that has made Pettibon’s work an emblem of countercultural disaffection since he emerged on the art scene in the early 1980s.

Regen Projects is pleased to present Best's Method for Creative Design, a new series of fifteen self-portraits by Abraham Cruzvillegas inspired by the drawing methods of artist and filmmaker Adolfo Best Maugard.
In 1929, Best devised a manual for basic drawing lessons to be used in public schools in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution. Reducing drawing to its essentials, Best's system allowed its practitioners to compose any possible representation with easy, smooth, and synthetic gestures. This method, forged from Best's lifelong research into popular arts and crafts and comprising all art from all times, has served as a generous gift to children and adults alike.

Gillian Wearing began Your Views in 2013 with an open call for videos of views from windows around the world. Over the past two months, Wearing has reprised the idea, this time creating a film of views amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In collaboration with Regen Projects, Your Views during the pandemic captures an unprecedented moment in modern history of worldwide isolation — from the UK, India, the United States, Greece, Italy, China, Nigeria, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, and beyond. Now, as the world begins to reopen, Wearing’s project provides an opportunity to reflect on recent history and begin to unpack it through a humanistic lens.
The project is ongoing, and accepting contributions online at yourviewsfilm.com.

UPDATE: It gives us great pleasure to share that in just under one week we successfully met our goal of matching $20,000 in contributions to organizations mobilizing for racial justice and equality. We extend our sincerest thanks to all those who graciously donated to the campaign. Together, we were able to raise more than $40,000 to help support the organizations listed below. The effort to combat racial and social injustice continues. We encourage others to keep lending time and resources to these and other valuable causes, and we will do the same.
Regen Projects stands in solidarity with our friends and colleagues around the country and the world who are calling out systemic racism, social and economic inequality, police brutality, and anti-black violence, as well as the horrific killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Mychael Johnson, Nina Pop, Monika Diamond, and countless others. We are truly inspired by the many individuals and organizations both locally and nationally who have come together in this turbulent and important time to enact change.
In support of their efforts we are proud to match up to $20,000 of $100 donations to organizations helping to combat police violence, reduce incarceration, distribute resources, and bolster community organizing impacting the welfare of black and brown lives. Together we can double our impact – Please consider donating time and money to the organizations listed below, and send your receipts to us at office@regenprojects.com.

Regen Projects is pleased to present Archaeology, an exclusive online exhibition of new photographs by James Welling, from May 12 – June 20, 2020.

On view from January 25 – August 9, 2020 at Kunst Museum Winterthur, Standard Deviations marks Walead Beshty’s first solo museum display in the German-speaking world. Regen Projects is pleased to host an exclusive digital presentation of this milestone exhibition, which reopens May 12.
Presenting several new works by Beshty for the first time, Standard Deviations places particular emphasis on the artist's current output. A portion of the exhibition is also dedicated to surveying Beshty's notable early works, such as his photograms — which first brought him to international attention — as well as works from his well-known FedEx series.
The exhibition in Winterthur was curated by Lynn Kost and created in collaboration with MAMCO Geneva. To commemorate the co-presentation, a new, comprehensive monograph will be published by Koenig Books. Photo: Reto Kaufmann.
Abraham Cruzvillegas has created a playlist of songs related to his first exhibition at Regen Projects, Autodestrucción 1, in 2012. Cruzvillegas based the playlist on music he had in heavy rotation while researching the show, which gravitated around themes of self-destruction, intolerance, and individual identity. Cruzvillegas wrote a story to accompany the exhibition, which you can read here. Titled Zazoucos, the playlist travels through historical identifications, from the Zoot-Suited Pachucos of North America to the Zazous of Nazi-occupied France. Listen now on Spotify!

Home, a new documentary series from Apple TV+, offers viewers a never-before-seen look inside the world’s most innovative homes. Season 1, episode 2 features Theaster Gates, who revitalizes inner-city social spaces in Chicago to create a new sense of home for his overlooked community.
Claire Voon profiled Christina Quarles for Artsy. Read the full piece at the link below.
Theaster Gates is featured in FIRSTHAND, a documentary series from WTTW Chicago which explores the personal, firsthand perspectives of Chicago residents whose lives have been affected by coronavirus. Gates talks about the pleasure as well as the hardship of working in isolation and discusses how he came to team up with the denim label Citizens of Humanity to create 1,000 masks for the Chicago Food Depository: ‘When it became evident that this virus was going to have a significant impact, it meant that I would have to shift significantly how I work. And I knew that I wanted to spend a portion of that time being selfish and enjoying the isolation in a way … But the other part felt like I would have to also figure out how I could be of service, and the service part was a bit more complicated.’ Watch the video at the link below.
For many artists, staying indoors means hunkering down with work and research. Kader Attia has shared with us a glimpse into his studio practice, which involves a huge table on which he spreads out all of his source materials and collage elements, allowing him to get to work arranging, reflecting, making associations, and rearranging again. Pictured is an example of his research on modern architecture's genealogy, from dispossession to reappropriation: The body as an architecture.

Mirage Gstaad
Gstaad, Switzerland
Saturday, February 29, 12 pm
Elevation 1049 invites you to SONG MIRROR, a new musical performance composed by Doug Aitken to be performed live by six vocalists from the Los Angeles Master Chorale inside Mirage Gstaad. The composition of SONG MIRROR takes simple yet enigmatic everyday words and phrases like "Is anyone listening,” "you know more than I know” and “sunset" and transforms them into layered vocals that are hypnotic and sublime. This new artwork reflects everyday language and phrases that have been abstracted into beautiful and transcendent music that surrounds and envelops the listener. Free shuttles will be available from 11:15 -11:45am from Gstaad train station to Mirage Gstaad, and back after the performance.
War Requiem is one of the greatest choral works of the twentieth century. Benjamin Britten juxtaposes the anti-war poetry of Wilfred Owen with the timeless ritual of the Latin Requiem Mass. The result is a passionate outcry against man's inhumanity to man. Joining the production team as designer and making his English National Opera debut is the Turner Prize-winning artist and designer Wolfgang Tillmans. Chien Wen-pin, Artistic Director of National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), conducts this new co-production, along with Daniel Kramer's contemporary staging, seeking to examine and process the grief of the incomprehensible loss of life from wars past and present, and offering hope for the future.

Co-presented by Regen Projects and Metro Pictures
Paramount Studios Backlot

February 14 – 16
In 1992, motivated by an interest in Black authorship and self-fashioning, Gary Simmons set up a portable photo studio with painted 'backdrop' paintings at Harlem’s Rucker Park basketball courts and the African Street Festival in Brooklyn, offering free Polaroids to those he photographed. The thirteen paintings that served as portrait backdrop were shown alongside the almost 850 instant photos at Metro Pictures in 1993. Simmons revives the project for the 2020 edition of Frieze Los Angeles, and will offer complimentary photographs to select participants during the run of Frieze Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, CA
January 24 – January 30
Daily screenings: 2:20 pm | 5:10 pm | 8 pm
An artist Q&A follows the 8 pm screening on Friday, January 24. Tickets available here.
Regen Projects is pleased to announce the Los Angeles premiere of Matthew Barney's new film, Redoubt. The film will screen at the Nuart Theatre from January 24 – 30, 2020. In addition, the artist will be joined by writer Maggie Nelson for a Q&A following the 8 pm screening of the film on January 24. For tickets and information, follow the link below.
Redoubt loosely adapts the classical myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt and of nature, and Actaeon, a hunter who trespasses on her privacy and is punished. The first new film in several years by internationally acclaimed artist, writer and director Matthew Barney unfolds as a series of hunts in the rugged wilderness of Idaho’s spectacular Sawtooth Mountains. Anette Wachter, a real champion sharpshooter, is cast as Diana, and the director himself plays a grizzled mountain man known as The Engraver. The characters communicate a mythological narrative through dance, letting movement replace language as they pursue each other and their prey. By layering classical myths, cosmological myths, and American myths about humanity’s place in the natural world, the film creates a complex portrait of the American landscape. Photo: Hugo Glendinning.

Artists on Artists: Christina Quarles on The Foundation of the Museum
The Geffen Contemporary
Museum of Contemporary Art
Los Angeles, CA
Thursday, January 9, 7 pm
Christina Quarles makes expressive, gestural works that reference the history and techniques of painting, but also smartly test its limits. Her dynamic compositions often feature feminine tropes that reference domestic space—fabrics, patterns—alongside polymorphous and ambiguous figures arranged in contorted positions. Playing with the identity of the figure to expand the potential for representation in her work, Quarles explores the genre of figurative art as it has been captured in The Foundation of the Museum: MOCA’s Collection by artist Paul Mpagi Sepuya. Join her at 7 pm on Thursday, January 9, 2020. Photo: Daniel Dorsa.
Created in close collaboration with the artist to accompany Elizabeth Peyton: Aire and Angels at the National Portrait Gallery, London (October 3, 2019 – January 5, 2020), this monograph surveys the work of the American painter with a particular focus on the last decade of her practice, while positioning Peyton’s work within the context of historic portraiture. The catalogue, now available for purchase at Regen Projects, contains texts by Lucy Dahlsen, Nicholas Cullinan, and Thomas Crow.
Christina Quarles is the artist's first monograph, published on the occasion of her exhibition at The Hepworth Wakefield (October 19, 2019 – January 19, 2020). Now available at Regen Projects, the catalogue comprises a new essay by Andrew Bonacina, Chief Curator at The Hepworth Wakefield, and an in-depth conversation between Quarles and art historian David J. Getsy.

MoMA's Forums on Contemporary Photography presents a lecture and panel on Thursday, November 21, 2019 at 6 pm. The upcoming session will examine the formative links between photographic history, science, and the humanities, as traced from the rise of industrialization to our present digital world through a series of contemporary responses. The point of departure for this forum is the publication of Picture Industry: A Provisional History of the Technical Image (1844–2018), an anthology of texts, edited by Walead Beshty, reflecting the transformations in the production and distribution of mechanically reproduced imagery from the late-19th century to the present.
The featured speakers for this forum are Walead Beshty; David Campany, writer and independent curator; Noam Elcott, Associate Professor, Department of Art History and Archaeology and Chair of Art Humanities, Columbia University; artist LaToya Ruby Frazier; artist Cameron Rowland; and artist Christopher Williams.

Whoever Shows: Strike Uyp th’ Band!
Co-presentation with Performa 19 Biennial
New Museum
New York, NY
Thursday, November 14, 2019
Whoever Shows: Strike Uyp th’ Band! is a staged reading at the New Museum of a collaged collection of excerpts from Raymond Pettibon’s scripts, including those originally produced for videos like The Whole World is Watching: Weatherman ’69 (1989–90), Sir Drone: A New Film About the New Beatles (1989–90), The Holes You Feel, Andy Warhol, Jim Morrison, and Batman. Reflecting upon the notion of collaborative work, this assemblage of Pettibon’s fragmentary scripts, scenes, and lyrics attempts to envision personal perspectives and imaginative approaches to the historical past and the edges of society. This event at the New Museum is one of only a handful of select public readings of his scripts that Pettibon has organized over the past several years.
Directed by Raymond Pettibon, the continuous reading will feature an ensemble of artists, musicians, and Pettibon’s friends including Oliver Augst, Mark Beasley, Veronique Bourgoin, Angela Choon, Jonny Cournoyer, Brian D’Amato, Pauline Daly, Marcel Dzama, Ray Farrell, Thomas Fehlmann, Kim Gordon, Sozita Goudouna, David Larsen, Young Kim, Spencer Leigh, Charles Louis-Aristide, David Rimanelli, Sven Sachsalber, Stella Schnabel, Ricky Sepulveda, Frances Stark, Robert Storr, Juli Susin, Dirk Vandenberg, Mitchell Watkins, Mike Watt, Hans Weigand, and Lauren Wolchik.

Screening of Redoubt, 2018, followed by a Q&A with Matthew Barney
Film Forum
New York, NY
Wednesday, October 30, 6:50 pm
$9 members | $15 regular
Daily screenings from October 30 – November 12
Film Forum presents Matthew Barney's newest film, Redoubt, 2018, which will run daily for two weeks beginning October 30, 2019. Join the artist for an opening-day Q&A following the 6:50 pm screening.
From the boundlessly fertile/febrile imagination of Matthew Barney, creator of the epic CREMASTER cycle. In REDOUBT, the myth of Diana and Actaeon unfolds in Idaho’s majestic Sawtooth Mountains, with Diana played by real-life sharpshooter Anette Wachter. She’s accompanied by two nymphs on a wolf hunt (one, Eleanor Bauer, choreographed the film’s gravity-defying movements); Barney is the Engraver/forest ranger – stealthily etching their movements onto copper plates. Wordless physical action, choreography and spectacular cinematography create a dreamlike logic. The title REDOUBT can refer to both a provisional military fortification, and a defensive, isolated psychological position – both evoked by the film’s setting in a vast Idaho wilderness. “Mr. Barney’s most engrossing film in over a decade… speaks directly to contemporary American themes: the place of the gun, the fate of the environment and the fantasies and paranoias of those who turn their back on constitutional government and American society” (Jason Farago, The New York Times).

Published to coincide with the exhibition Rachel Harrison Life Hack at the Whitney Museum of American Art (October 25, 2019 – January 5, 2020), this monograph explores twenty-five years of Rachel Harrison's practice.

Objects are illustrated with multiple views and details, and accompanied by short texts. Essays by Elizabeth Sussman, David Joselit, Johanna Burton, Darby English, Maggie Nelson, and Alexander Nemerov cover Harrison’s earliest works to her most recent output. The book also includes a handful of photo-collages that the artist created specifically for this project. Published here for the first time, these pieces superimpose found images with reproductions of Harrison’s own past work.

Glenn Ligon is featured in the 16th Istanbul Biennial: The Seventh Continent, opening Saturday, September 14, 2019. Ligon’s contributions to the Biennial pay tribute to US author and activist James Baldwin’s life in Istanbul. One of the works Ligon will present is Sedat Pakay’s filmic portrait of Baldwin in Istanbul, From Another Place, which the artist has subtitled in Turkish for the first time. In two related videos, the artist pairs crowd scenes shot in Taksim Square with music from contemporary experimental musicians. Accompanying these videos are the newest in his America series of neon sculptures. Ligon has installed these using mahyas, strings of lamps or lights strung between minarets on mosques during Ramadan – a departure from his usual medium of neon for the series. The work will change in appearance every two weeks during the exhibition. The biennial runs through November 10, 2019. Image: Untitled (31 Mart 2019), 2019
Andrea Zittel is featured in the 16th Istanbul Biennial: The Seventh Continent, opening Saturday, September 14, 2019. Personal Plots, Zittel’s work for the biennial, responds to the notions of private property, space and inherited structures of debt and bondage. Zittel – who asks, ‘is space something that can be owned at all?’ – presents a sculpture made of concrete blocks that demarcate human-sized, cell-like spaces. The units recall an office cubicle, a private bedroom, or a cemetery plot. The work points to the way in which space, and its delineation, can be used as a medium for control and alienation while it is more marketed as a source of security, privacy and individualism. The biennial runs through November 10, 2019. Image: Personal Plots, 2019.

Berlin Story is based on Story, an indeterminate dance piece choreographed by Merce Cunningham and originally performed by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in 1963.

The result, Berlin Story, reexamines and reanimates a dance last presented 55 years ago.

Set in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountain range, Matthew Barney’s feature-length film layers classical, cosmological, and American myths about humanity’s place in the natural world, continuing Barney’s long-standing focus on landscape as both setting and subject. Redoubt adapts the myth of Diana, goddess of the hunt, and Actaeon, a hunter who trespasses on her and is punished — a story of guns, hunting, and wolves in the wild.

Glenn Ligon’s Some Black Parisians, presented in conjunction with Black models: from Géricault to Matisse, consists of 13 large scale neons which highlight the names of some of the models, performers, and writers who appear in important French works of art from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Join Ligon for a conversation with Donatien Grau and Anne Lafont at Institut National d’Histoire de l’Art on Wednesday, March 27 at 6:30pm.
Featuring Abraham Cruzvillegas, TO MAKE WRONG / RIGHT / NOW embraces the polyvocality of each venue as a repository of enduring histories and the continuum of indigenous knowledge. The venues have been carefully selected for their ties to the curatorial approach and the works this approach has inspired. Collectively, the sites reflect a deep reverence for land, ocean, wahi pana (storied places) and the genealogical ties within Hawaiʻi and the wider Pacific region. The selection of sites extend the Biennial beyond an engagement with contemporary art towards a deeper connection with the histories and stories that are of, and unique to, this place.
The generous new award is funded by a gift from local patrons of the arts Jorge and Darlene Pérez, and reflects their commitment to supporting excellence in international contemporary art, representing diverse artistic perspectives, and drawing attention to remarkable talents. The selection was made by PAMM’s curatorial team in collaboration with The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation and honors experimentation, creativity and promise. It is also a symbol of PAMM’s mission to be a leader in the presentation, study and interpretation of international modern and contemporary art.

Liz Larner was born in Sacramento, California in 1960. She experiments with abstract sculptural forms in a dizzying array of materials, including polychromatic ceramics that evoke the tectonic geologic shifts of the western landscape. An inventor of new forms, Larner’s sculptures are not easy to categorize. They defy easy description by design, as her investigation into new forms favors personal narrative over minimal austerity.
Ariana Reines is a poet, playwright and translator based in New York and known for her interest in bodily experience, the occult, new media, and new possibilities for the long or book-length form. In addition to being the author of several highly acclaimed volumes of poetry, she is Artforum’s resident astrologist.

Los Angeles is a perpetually changing landscape in a state of constant reinvention. 'Don’t Forget to Breathe,' a new installation by Doug Aitken, meditates on the rapidly changing face of technology framed within a relic of our modern past. The atmosphere of the desolate storefront presents a possibility that a chapter of capitalism has completed its life cycle and we are entering the next era where the screen world mirrors the physical one. This new era is increasingly dematerialized, where human connection is evaporating and quickly being replaced by digital life.

Glenn Ligon talks to T: The New York Times Style Magazine about a work by Adrian Piper that has been particularly important to him. As part of a new video series for T, Glenn Ligon talks about 'Self Portrait Exaggerating my Negroid Features,' 1981, by Adrian Piper. The portrait is as important as the language in its title, also written across the bottom of the piece, Ligon explains. 'It makes us think about how what we think of as a self portrait is actually a portrait of the society that we live in,' he says.

Matthew Barney’s ‘Partition,’ 2002/2018, is currently on view at Art Basel Unlimited, in Hall 1.1, U17. ‘Partition’ reinterprets a major installation relating to his film ‘CREMASTER 3,’ 2002. A full-scale bar, originally sculpted from petroleum jelly, has been transformed into a monumental sculpture in cast plastic. ‘CREMASTER 3,’ the fifth and final part of Barney’s ‘CREMASTER Cycle,’ is set primarily in 1930s New York during the construction of the Chrysler Building. Many laborers who worked on the building were Irish immigrants and Freemasons, and the film’s iconography is informed by masonic rites and Irish folklore. ‘Partition’ marries the form of a traditional Irish bar with that of a plumb level, one of the principal symbolic tools of freemasonry. The original sculpture, with its jelly surface modeled around a refrigerated armature, existed in a state of indefinite suspension, poised on the brink of collapse. Here, Barney allowed the latent disintegration to begin, before casting the bar in plastic. The sculpture lists to one side, a reference to the metaphorical implications of the plumb level for freemasons. Overlaying the dense symbolism of the film with equally complex material transformations, ‘Partition’ evinces the breadth of Barney’s sculptural language. Photo: Andrea Rossetti

Image: Detail from 'Jahresring 64: What Is Different?’
Last year an image of my work 'Cloud Gate' (in Millennium Park Chicago) was used without my consent in a politicised advertisement for the National Rifle Association (NRA), entitled 'The Clenched Fist of Truth.' The NRA’s ‘advertisement’ – as they describe the video on their own website – seeks to whip up fear and hate. It plays to the basest and most primal impulses of paranoia, conflict and violence, and uses them in an effort to create a schism to justify its most regressive attitudes. Hidden here is a need to believe in a threatening ‘Other’ different from ourselves. I am disgusted to see my work – in truth the sculpture of the people of Chicago – used by the NRA to promote their vile message. Recent shootings in Florida, Las Vegas, Texas, and a number of other towns and cities, make it more urgent that ever that this organization is held to account for its ongoing campaign of fear and hate in American society.
'Cloud Gate' reflects the space around it, the city of Chicago. People visit the sculpture to get married, to meet friends, to take selfies, to dance, to jump, to engage in communal experience. Its mirrored form is engulfing and intimate. It gathers the viewer into itself. This experience, judging by the number of people that visit it every day (two-hundred million to date), still seems to carry the potential to communicate a sense of wonder. A mirror of self and other, both private and collective, 'Cloud Gate' – or the ‘Bean’ as it often affectionately referred to — is an inclusive work that engages public participation. Its success has little to do with me, but rather with the thousands of residents and visitors who have adopted it and embraced it as their 'Bean.' 'Cloud Gate' has become a democratic object in a space that is free and open to all.
The NRA's nightmarish, intolerant, divisive vision perverts everything that 'Cloud Gate' – and America – stands for. Art must stand clear in its mission to recognise the dignity and humanity of all, irrespective of creed or racial origin.
Gun violence in the United States affects every citizen of your country – all religions, all cultures, all ages. The NRA’s continued defence of the gun industry makes them complicit in compromising the safety of the many in favour of corporate profit. I support 'Everytown for Gun Safety' and their efforts to build safer communities for everyone across the United States.

Regen Projects is pleased to debut The Modernist, Catherine Opie’s first film. This marks the artist’s ninth solo exhibition at the gallery.
The Modernist presents a dystopic view of Los Angeles, a city that has figured prominently in Opie’s work over the years. The film is in conversation with Chris Marker’s radical 1962 photo-roman, La Jetée, which utilizes still photography to tell a story of longing, time travel, and the terror of nuclear apocalypse. Opie’s film continues this dialogue, employing similar formal and narrative structures to a different end. Focusing on contemporary issues like natural disasters, the breakdown of the American political system, global tragedies, and the Los Angeles housing crisis, the film stars Stosh, a.k.a. Pig Pen, a close friend of Opie’s who has appeared in many of her photographs, as a struggling artist who is obsessed with landmark midcentury modern architecture.

James Welling 'Pathological Color' lecture
Monday, November 13, 6:30PM at Harvard University
Event is free and open to the public.
"For over 20 years, I have been tinkering with color. Color became an option for me—previously I'd worked mainly in black and white—when I started using a Macintosh computer and the image management program Adobe Photoshop. Working with color, “hands on” as it were, required a familiarity with trichromacity, the mechanism whereby organisms (and devices) deploy red, green, and blue receptors (or elements in mechanical reproduction) in the eye to mediate the visual world.
As I moved beyond a simple understanding of how the eye and film register color, I became drawn to what Goethe calls, in his Theory of Colors, “pathological color.” This intuition lead me to diverge from normative, one to one reproductive color matching and to look closely at 1960’s multichannel color experiments, ranging from Andy Warhol’s silkscreen paintings to Richard Avedon’s psychedelic portraits of the Beatles.
I began my pathological color images in 2006-2010 using Philip Johnson’s Glass House and Pierre Chareau’s Maison de Verre as armatures for my initial color experiments using colored gels. (I have long been interested in photographing architecture and landscape. In the mid 1980’s I photographed H. H. Richardson buildings and railroad landscapes.) In 2014 I moved to multichannel inkjet prints with layered color channels combining photographs of contemporary dance, landscape, and Brutalist architecture."

High Desert Test Sites 2017, curated by Aram Moshayedi and Sohrab Mohebbi, opens this weekend, October 21-22!
This year’s iteration is built around An Ephemeral History of High Desert Test Sites: 2002-2015, a month-long exhibition focused on the project’s history. In addition, a pseudo-symposium titled The Palm Talks compliments the exhibition with live music and presentations on the topic of non-communities.
The Palm Talks includes both local and non-local contemporary thinkers, historians, writers, and artists, whose contributions culminate in a momentary glimpse into our collective state. Set within the context of the legendary Palms Restaurant in Wonder Valley and presented with live musical accompaniment by M. Cay Castagnetto and The Renderers, there will be a negotiation between language and sound, noise and meaning, music and speech. Participants in The Palm Talks include Fiona Connor, Trinie Dalton, Gary Dauphin, Steve Kado, Alexander Keefe, Nancy Klein, Annelies Kuiper, Cailin O'Connor, Litia Perta, Linda Sibio, Laura Sibley, Bobby Jesus and Frances Stark, Sam Thorne, James Owen Weatherall, Aurora Tang, and others.
An Ephemeral History of High Desert Test Sites presents an incomplete and partial look at the organization’s fifteen-year history, based on the artifacts, ephemera, and facsimiles that have been recovered by High Desert Test Sites and past participating artists. It has prompted a desire to document the organization’s history, to create a living archive of contributions that were otherwise ephemeral and temporary, and to observe the narrative of the gathered material in order to tell the story of the organization, the vast community of artists involved, and the landscape that has witnessed these activities.
High Desert Test Sites 2017 is complimented by new projects and contributions by Fiona Connor, Bob Dornberger and Sarah Witt, Neil Doshi, Edie Fake, Glenn-Murray & Co., Oliver Payne, Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs, and Ry Rocklen.
A publication for the exhibition will be available as part of the Saturday, October 21 edition of the Hi-Desert Star, a local newspaper that has served the community since 1957.
High Desert Test Sites 2017 is curated by Sohrab Mohebbi and Aram Moshayedi, with Tatiana Vahan, Elena Yu, Vanesa Zendejas, and Andrea Zittel.

“For us, it was very important to expand our gaze, our vision,” he said. “We expanded it to the Pacific Rim… expanding our perception of what we think we are.” Using a 1939 map designed by Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias as a backdrop — a map that omits Europe and focuses on the Pacific — the exhibition includes Latin American artists from around the globe, including South Korea, New Zealand and Japan. “More than transnational, I think it’s intergalactic,” he said.

Located at 2500 North Palm Canyon Drive, this large scale installation takes the form of an indoor landscape or domesticated desert. A vast expanse of sand -- peppered with extinguished cigarette butts -- in an empty commercial space, serves as the receptacle for small change. The audience is invited to leave a monetary contribution on the surface of the artwork, adding to the texture of this rather surreal scaled-down and boxed-in version of what otherwise lies right outside the shop, just beyond the parking lot. On view through April 30.

February 25 - October 31, 2017
Palm Springs, California
MIRAGE is a site-specific installation set in the Southern California desert. Utilizing the form of a ranch style suburban American house, the sculpture is composed of reflective mirrored surfaces. MIRAGE distills the recognizable and repetitious suburban home into the essence of its lines, reflecting, and disappearing into the vast western landscape. Opening February 25, 2017 as a part of Desert X, a site-specific contemporary art exhibition curated by Artistic Director Neville Wakefield, MIRAGE will remain on view after the exhibition closes through October 31, 2017.
Movement was the driving force behind the settling of the American West, and the long flat vistas that stretched toward the Pacific shaped the ideology behind this iconic embodiment of American architecture. The California Ranch Style, which is unique to the West, was informed by the ideas of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who believed that architecture should be both in and of the landscape. In the 1920s and ‘30s a small inspired group of architects working in California and the West created the first suburban ranch style houses, fusing Wright’s fluid treatment of spaces with the simple one-story homes built by ranchers. After World War II, the ranch style’s streamlined simplicity gained popularity and commercial builders employed a simplified assembly line approach to create this efficient form, matching the rapid growth of the suburbs. The mass-produced ranch home became a familiar sight across the country, the style filling the American landscape as quickly as each new subdivision was built.
MIRAGE is reconfigured as an architectural idea, the seemingly generic suburban home now devoid of a narrative, its inhabitants, their possessions. This minimal structure now functions entirely in response to the landscape around it. The doors, windows, and openings have been removed to create a fluid relationship with the surrounding environment. Situated at the juncture where the rugged San Jacinto mountain range gives way to the Coachella valley, MIRAGE is perched over a distant modern development that fades into the open desert. As MIRAGE pulls the landscape in and reflects it back out, its familiar architectural form becomes a framing device, a visual echo-chamber endlessly reflecting both the dream of nature as a pure uninhabited state and the pursuit of its conquest. Its mirrored surfaces form a life- size kaleidoscope that absorbs and reflects the landscape. Subject and object, interior and exterior, the psychological and physical; each of these oppositional forces are held in constant tension, yet allowed to shift and transform in the ever-changing desertscape.
Like a human-scale lens, MIRAGE works to frame and distort the evolving world outside of it. There is no single time to view this work, as each variation provides something new: at night the distant lights refract to create a universe of stars; on a tranquil afternoon the sky is transformed into banks of blue fragmented by slices of clouds. As there is no fixed perspective or correct interpretation, each experience of this living artwork will be unique.

Directed and photographed by Wolfgang Tillmans, this 27 minutes film features performances by Hari Nef, Karis Wilde, Ash B., Matthew Salinas, Bashir Daviid Naim, Rachel Guest, Christopher Olszewski and himself as well as band members Juan Pablo Echeverri, Jay Pluck, Kyle Combs, Tom Roach and Daniel Pearce.
Participants danced and improvised in Los Angeles and New York to the music, without previously knowing it. Whilst editing the footage with Michael Amstad in Berlin, it became clear, that what was planned to be cut into six individual videos, should not be separated, but should remain as a consecutive sequence of six different moods.
Explaining the motivations behind the visual album Wolfgang Tillmans says: "Four songs have been written and recorded this summer in Fire Island and New York, in a time now marked as 'post Brexit / pre Trump'. New Jersey’s Ash B.’s performance and improvised rap on That’s Desire blew us away. The song was recorded in 30 minutes. Two vocal takes by myself, one by Ash B. That was it. Warm Star was written and recorded in Porto in January this year. Principally a love song with political undertones, some lines of the lyrics later made it onto my pro EU / anti Brexit campaign posters. Fast Lane is a recording from 1986, myself 17 years old, an electro-punk piece inspired by cold war angst and nausea at political indifference with the now more than ever poignant line ‘we take the fast lane into the dark’. I wanted the overall feel of the EP to be reflecting the desire to carry on and live our lives in a quest for personal happiness, whatever the circumstances are. We need to protest and campaign, but this shouldn’t stop us from reaffirming love and life, here and now. Anderes Osterlied is a song written by Swiss liberation theologian Kurt Marti in 1970. Even though I find it hard to believe in organised religion, I was and am deeply touched by this song ever since I first heard it in the early 90ies. Here We Are is about a moment of personal love and Naive Me is about the shock of realising the unimaginable happened on June 23 / Nov 8"
"I’m grateful for the trust and openess each dancer, actor, performer brought to this project, - giving everything in a white blank space to the sound of a boombox. A set of coloured gels in front of the window being the only production props”
The accompanying EP will be out on Friday Dec 9 on 12” vinyl as well as digital download, distributed by WordandSound on Beatport, Traxsource, Juno, iTunes and other download sites. Streaming from Dec 9 on Spotify, Soundcloud and iTunes.

Underwater Pavilions is artist Doug Aitken’s most recent large-scale installation and will be installed this fall off the coast of Southern California on Catalina Island 22 miles from Los Angeles. Produced by Parley for the Oceans and presented in partnership with The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), the work consists of three temporary underwater sculptures, floating beneath the ocean’s surface that swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers can swim through and experience. Geometric in design, the sculptures create underwater spaces synthesizing art and science as they are constructed with carefully researched materials and will be moored to the ocean floor. Part of each sculpture is mirrored to reflect the underwater seascape and create a kaleidoscopic observatory for the viewer, while other surfaces are rough and rock-like. The environments created in and by the sculptures will constantly change with the currents and the time of day, focusing the attention of the viewer on the rhythm of the ocean and its life cycles.
Underwater Pavilions engages the living ocean ecosystem as the viewer swims into and through the sculptures, which create huge reflective abstractions. The work operates as an observatory for ocean life, creating a variety of converging perceptual encounters. The sculptures will continuously change due to the natural and manmade conditions of the ocean, creating a living presence and unique relationship with the viewer. Both aesthetic and scientific, Underwater Pavilions puts the local marine environment and the global challenges around ocean conservation in dialogue with the history of art, inviting the viewer to write a contemporary narrative of the ocean and to participate in its protection.
Parley for the Oceans, Doug Aitken Workshop, and MOCA will launch Doug Aitken: Underwater Pavilions in tandem with the exhibition Doug Aitken: Electric Earth at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The installation will be a cultural destination that is free and open to the public in the Casino Point Dive Park in the City of Avalon. The nearby Catalina Casino will also be activated for the New Ocean Happening, a special weekend event organized by Aitken that will include screenings, talks, and live performances, all geared toward bringing attention to critical issues in ocean conservation.
Catalina Island is a one-hour ferry ride from several major ports and it was selected as the location for this earthwork in light of its historical and ecological importance, the beauty of its landscape, and its close proximity to Los Angeles. With its clear waters teeming with flying fish and bright orange Garibaldi, alongside nearby shipwrecks, the location makes for spectacular diving and snorkeling.
In September 2016, a major survey of Doug Aitken’s work will open at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). Presented in conjunction with this exhibition, the Underwater Pavilions will be a point of convergence for art, education, and culture within California.
Doug Aitken (b. 1968) is an American artist and filmmaker whose work explores every medium, from sculpture, film, and installation to architectural intervention. His work has been featured in exhibitions around the world at institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Modern Art, Vienna Secession, the Serpentine Gallery in London, and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Aitken earned the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999 for the installation electric earth. He also received the 2012 Nam June Paik Art Center Prize and the 2013 Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award: Visual Arts. He lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
“When we talk about the oceans and we look at the radical disruption we’ve created within the sea, we’re not quite aware yet how much that’s going to affect us and our lives on land,” remarks artist Doug Aitken. “The ramifications of that are immense. This is one thing which cannot be exaggerated.”
“We are at war with the oceans. If we win, we lose it all. Art has the power to direct all eyes on the oceans, in the oceans, and make its protection a creative collaboration,” remarks Parley for the Oceans Founder Cyrill Gutsch.

“I felt strongly about not staging the piece on the mainland,” he said, pointing to the urban sprawl in the distance, an hour’s ferry ride away. “I didn’t want something you could drive to, pull into a parking lot and see. I wanted a process to take you out of the everyday.”

Please join us for a fundraiser to celebrate High Desert Test Sites on Saturday, November 19 from 2-4PM. This year's limited edition print will feature work by Jack Pierson.
"As a part-time member of the community known as HDTS, I've had the privilege of being involved almost from its inception. It's an ambitious and inspiring project with many inroads and possibilities. What they have created in this extreme environment is a leap in the direction of the sublime. I am very happy to participate with this print of a new image. A road going towards HDTS. It's all happening over that mountain. Go now..." –Jack Pierson
"Jack and I first met when we were both living in New York in the early 1990s. He had an exhibition at Pat Hearn Gallery where I was working as a gallery assistant, and there we formed a lasting friendship that led to him helping me start my own career. Then in 2000, an amazing coincidence occured where we both bought houses in the high desert, unbeknownst to each other. Being devoted to this region and a hugely generous human being, Jack has been involved in some way, shape, or form in nearly every HDTS event. One of my favorite works by Jack was a beautiful pink and white road sign covered in giant sequins that said "NOTHING." The sign was stolen during our second event, and trying to locate it became fodder for many local myths, recounted at our favorite local roadside tavern The Palms." –Andrea Zittel

Congratulations to Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin on 'placebo pets,' their exclusive project for W magazine's November 2016 art issue!
In the project Fitch/Trecartin explore how cameras, social media, and reality TV have changed the way we engage with the world and with one another. Titled "placebo pets," supermodels Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid appear as super friendly, domesticated humanoid pets. Fitch/Trecartin see in our relationship to pets a parallel with our relationship to technology, in the way that we’ve been trained to adapt our behavior, our language, and the images we choose to present our changing selves. “There’s a certain power that animals have over us when they respond to us in unexpected, friendly ways,” says Trecartin. “And it’s really them domesticating us almost more than us domesticating them, because they’re training us to want them. Training and taming something is not one-sided. We created social media, but then it changed us because we interacted with it." Read more in an interview with Diane Solway.
Tomorrow at 7PM at The Art Institute of Chicago, join Glenn Ligon, Studio Museum chief curator and director Thelma Golden, Lynette Yiadom Boakye, and Cauleen Smith for a discussion on their work and how it examines individual and collective histories along with questions of cultural, social, sexual, and racial identity.

Please join us to celebrate High Desert Test Sites Editions with a fundraiser on Saturday, November 21 from 2-4PM.
The inaugural limited-edition print will feature work by Shannon Ebner. Landscape Incarceration (HDTS Print Edition), 2015, revisits Shannon’s first project with High Desert Test Sites in 2003, in which she set up a series of oversize letters to create this image in the desert. The resulting photograph was originally printed as a newsprint edition, available to HDTS 3 attendees. Available framed in an edition of 10, the work will be sold for $1,400.00 each. Proceeds from the sale will go to support HDTS operations and programming.
Michael Ned Holte writes, "In Landscape Incarceration, the eponymous phrase is staged as a running barrier along the desert horizon. We view the letters from behind, cheap scaffolding and all. The disorientation slyly reflects the eroding border between private interiority and public exteriority. Ebner's language, whether borrowed or not, is quietly derived from private meaning but speaks volumes when placed in the imaginary, if wholly artificial, space of the public. In turn, her photographs bear witness to the construction of meaning itself, however ephemeral or involuntary."

Edition artists are selected from our growing roster of over 400 artists who have presented projects with High Desert Test Sites since its founding in 2002.
Co-founded by Andrea Zittel in 2002, High Desert Test Sites is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports intimate and immersive experiences and exchanges between artists, critical thinkers, and general audiences – challenging all to expand their definition of art to take on new areas of relevancy.

Regen Projects is shocked and saddened by the recent vandalization of Anish Kapoor's work at Chateau de Versailles in France. Here is a statement released by the artist.
'Once again my work Dirty Corner has become a receptacle for the dirty politics of anti-semitic vandals, racists and right-wing royalists. The vandalised sculpture now looks like a graveyard, the stones are now gravestones marking the ruinous politics of fundamentalist bigotry. Dirty Corner allows this dirty politics to expose itself fully, in full view for all to see.
At this time, when we need to have compassion for the thousands of refugees on the road in Europe, the anti-Semitic, racist attack on Dirty Corner at Chateau de Versailles in Paris, brings to the forefront the intolerance and racism in our midst. Dirty Corner has become the vehicle for the expression of our anxiety of "the other" and emphasis that Art is a focus for our deepest longings and fears. It is urgent that we show our solidarity with the oppressed the down-trodden and those of our brothers and sisters in need.
As the artist I have -for the second time- to ask myself what this act of violence means to my work. the sculpture will now carry the scars of this renewed attack . I will not allow this act of violence and intolerance to be erased. Dirty Corner will now be marked with hate and I will preserve these scars as a memory of this painful history. I am determined that Art will triumph.' -- Anish Kapoor September 6, 2015
