LOUISE LAWLER
Fitting at Metro Pictures
6 May - 11 June 2011
For her exhibition at Metro Pictures, Louise Lawler has taken
photographs of art in museums, galleries, private homes, and auction
houses and stretched them to fit the gallery's walls. Printed on
adhesive wall vinyl, the altered photographs are affixed to the walls,
one wall per image.
There will be an extended viewing of the exhibition for New York Gallery
Week on Sunday, May 8, from 10 am to 6 pm, with special presentations
of Lawler's Birdcalls (1972/1981), lasting approximately seven minutes,
on the hour and half hour.
Louise Lawler has had one-person exhibitions at the Wexner Center for
the Arts, Columbus, Ohio (2006); Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York (2005);
the Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel (2004); Portikus, Frankfurt
(2003); and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.
(1997). Her work has recently been featured in exhibitions at the Art
Institute of Chicago, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Museum of
Fine Arts in Ghent, Belgium, and the Whitney Museum of American Art in
New York, which included her in its 1991, 2000, and 2008 biennials.
Pieces by the artist are in the collections of the Museum of
Contemporary Art Chicago, LACMA, Tate Britain, and the Museum of Modern
Art.
