Adrian Piper “A Synthesis of Intuitions, 1965–2016”
The Museum of Modern Art
This event has ended.
The Museum of Modern Art will present the most comprehensive exhibition of the work of Adrian Piper (American, born 1948) to date with Adrian Piper: A Synthesis of Intuitions, 1965–2016. The exhibition is the result of a four-year collaboration between Piper and Christophe Cherix, Chief Curator in the Museum’s Department of Drawings and Prints, Connie Butler, Chief Curator at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and David Platzker, former Curator in the Museum’s Department of Drawings and Prints, with Tessa Ferreyros, Curatorial Assistant in the Museum’s Department of Drawings and Prints. A selection of works from the exhibition will travel, under the title Adrian Piper: Concepts and Intuitions, 1965–2016, to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (October 7, 2018 –January 6, 2019), and Haus der Kunst, Munich (April 12–September 22, 2019).
Comprising over 290 works gathered from public and private collections around the world, this inclusive retrospective, which will be seen in its entirety only at the Museum of Modern Art, will occupy the Museum’s entire sixth floor – the first time that entire level has been devoted to the work of a living artist. The exhibition will encompass the wide range of diverse mediums that Piper has explored for over 50 years: drawing, photography, video, multimedia installation, performance, painting, sculpture, and sound. The exhibition will be Piper’s first American museum exhibition in over 10 years, and her first since receiving the Golden Lion Award for Best Artist in the 56th Venice Biennale of 2015 and Germany’s Käthe Kollwitz Prize for 2018.
