Gala Porras-Kim’s research-driven practice examines how our understanding of cultural artefacts is shaped by the museological and modern epistemological conventions that dictate their collection, taxonomy, preservation and display. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring new and recent works by the artist on the occasion of London Gallery Weekend. Both visually striking and thought-provoking, Porras-Kim’s drawings, paper marbling works and sculpture explore the transformation – and possibly emancipation – of objects throughout time.
Gala Porras-Kim is an interdisciplinary artist acclaimed for her research-driven contemporary art that questions how knowledge is formed, preserved, and displayed within museums and cultural institutions. Porras-Kim’s work has been exhibited at leading institutions worldwide, including the Whitney Biennial, Gwangju Biennale, and the 34th Bienal de São Paulo, and she is the recipient of the 2024 Heinz Award for the Arts.
Sprüth Magers has expanded from its roots in Cologne (Germany) to become an international gallery dedicated to exhibiting the very best in groundbreaking modern and contemporary art. With galleries located in Berlin Mitte, London’s Mayfair and the Miracle Mile in Los Angeles–as well as an office in Cologne and an outpost in Hong Kong–Sprüth Magers retains close ties with the studios and communities of the German and American artists who form the core of its roster.
