GROUP EXHIBITION

Centering on notions of selfhood as they relate to space and place, this presentation will spotlight the work of artists from Los Angeles and New York, the United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil, and Greece, situating international figures in dialogue with one another. An opening reception for the show will be held at the gallery on November 7 at 6 p.m.

Curated by Joshua Friedman, a Vice President at Pace who joined the gallery in 2024 with more than a decade of experience in the Los Angeles art world, land marks examines the multifaceted nature of space—how it functions not only physically but also as an emotional and psychological terrain. The exhibition considers how the places we inhabit—rooms once called home, sites of gathering and becoming—accumulate meaning over time, forming layered maps of memories. To know oneself is often to know the spaces that have held us.

land marks brings together works that trace the ways life is inscribed into the world. A “mark” can be monumental or fragile, deliberate or accidental—a gesture of presence, absence, or passage. These compositions explore how the self leaves impressions on its environments, and the ways that, in turn, our surroundings impress themselves upon us, revealing how the marks we make outside ourselves are inseparable from the marks carried within us—etched into the monumental surface of who we are.

The show will feature over 25 artworks, with a strong emphasis on painting, by Jarvis Boyland, Chioma Ebinama, Janiva Ellis, Jake Grewal, Loie Hollowell, Patricia Iglesias Peco, Li Hei Di, Sophia Loeb, Sarah Martin-Nuss, Marina Perez Simão, Nathlie Provosty, Anne Rothenstein, Kate Spencer Stewart, Reika Takebayashi, Salman Toor, Janaina Tschäpe, and Shiwen Wang. At its core, the show meditates on the relationship between the body and the contexts that it influences, raising questions about the complex, fragile, and often fractured nature of this connection. Together, the artists in land marks invite viewers to consider how these environments become repositories of memory and experience—shaping and reflecting the self in equal measure.

Among the exhibition’s highlights are new paintings by Loie Hollowell, Li Hei Di, and Marina Perez Simão, all artists in Pace’s program. Works by these three painters—known for their distinct languages of abstraction—will bring ideas about interiority and exteriority to the fore of land marks. The presentation will also include a new, never-before-exhibited painting by the London-based artist Sophia Loeb, whose gestural, undulating abstractions investigate the sensorial dimensions of space and landscape. Los Angeles artists Jarvis Boyland, Patricia Iglesias Peco, and Kate Spencer Stewart engage the emotional and psychological complexities of interiority, offering layered readings of presence, vulnerability, and transformation. Meanwhile, New York-based artists Janiva Ellis, Sarah Martin-Nuss, and Janaina Tschäpe explore how temporality, memory, and embodied perception reshape our relationship to space.
