7. Art House field trip: Gary Simmons at Hauser & Wirth on Saturday
We head off-site to the Hauser & Wirth gallery for a director-led tour of the exhibition, Gary Simmons Remembering Tomorrow. The bus departs from Soho Warehouse at 3pm sharp for a 3.30pm tour, followed by a performance on the stage of Simmons’ ‘Recapturing Memories Of The Black Ark’ in the open-air courtyard. We return to the House at 5.30pm.
About the show: the Los Angeles-based artist uses icons and stereotypes of American popular culture to create works that address personal and collective experiences of race and class. Remembering Tomorrow foregrounds Simmons’ distinctive contributions to contemporary image-making, specifically his use of erasure, a form of Action Painting here freighted with deeper cultural significance.
