Esther Schipper gallery is very pleased to announce the opening of its first location in Asia this September, headed by chief executive director Sunil Kim.

“We have had the unique opportunity to grow along with the development of the Korean art community and as a gallery we will be celebrating the launch of our first location in Korea with a unique project space in the Gyeonglidan neighborhood of Seoul. This opening coincides with two international art fairs taking place in Seoul at the beginning of September: Frieze Seoul and KIAF. At KIAF we are presenting a solo booth with Roman Ondak’s historical performative work Clockwork and an updated survey of our gallery artists for the first edition of Frieze Seoul.”
—Sunil Kim

Esther Schipper Seoul is situated in the Geyonglidan-street area of central Seoul in a newly renovated building designed by studioMDA. The Gyeonglidan area has recently emerged as a central hub for the Korean art scene with both international and emerging Korean contemporary galleries relocating here. For the opening, a selection of new and important works by artists of the gallery is presented across the three floors of the building.

Esther Schipper is pleased to announce a special presentation with historical works by Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola, organized with Olivier Renaud-Clément. Jacques Douchez and Norberto Nicola operated a collective studio, Atelier Douchez-Nicola, from 1959-1980. Inspired by tapestry as a three-dimensional form that combines finely woven natural fibers with abstract sculptural forms, their collaborative and independent textile work marks a key chapter in Brazilian art history.

A solo presentation by Isa Melsheimer at K60 will include large-scale ceramics, textile works, and gouaches. The ceramics draw on existing buildings and fill these architectural structures with unexpected sculptural details and colorful glazes that evoke fantastic microcosms, a world in which it is not at all surprising that tree stumps grow in houses and buildings incorporate human and non-human elements.

On occasion of Paris+, we are happy to present an exhibition by Etienne Chambaud in our new space in Paris. On view will be a sound installation, sculptures and glass works.

Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's exhibition Panoramism and the Abstract Sector will feature a new panorama based in Berlin, continuing the artist’s creation of an artistic and intellectual genealogy, begun at the Vienna Secession in 2021 and at the Serpentine Galleries this past Spring.

In addition, Paul B. Preciado and Gonzalez-Foerster’s Une Valise Transféministe, first presented at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 2019, will be on view in the bookstore.

For KIAF 2022, Esther Schipper is pleased to present a solo booth with Roman Ondak, dedicated to his work Clockwork, 2014.

A performative work, Clockwork, first presents as a red Mason line (used in construction to level) that spans the entire space. Its two ends meet near a corner, weighted with plumb bobs, marking the spot where a list of visitors will begin. During the course of the exhibition an attendant poses two questions to each visitor—“What time is it?” and “what is your name?”—and inscribes this information on the wall. The index of attendees becomes an ongoing work, observed by subsequent visitors who themselves will be added.

Before we begin with the events of the new fall season, we want to draw your attention to Francesco Gennari’s exhibition in Milan: a solo presentation curated by Sarah Cosulich, inaugurating the design company Mutina’s exhibition space, MUT/Mutina for Art. The exhibition closes September 16.

At Aranya Art Center in Beidaihe in China's Hebei Province, Tao Hui presents Searing Pain, the artist's first comprehensive solo museum exhibition.

The fifth, entitled The Tourist, includes excerpts from Xavier de Maistre’s historical text, interwoven with images from Gonzalez-Foerster’s chambres works.

Cemile Sahin will present a new video installation at the Lyon Biennale 2022. Part of her ongoing work concerning the treaty of Lausanne and its impact on the Middle East a hundred years later, Sahin's new multimedia installation focuses on the third longest wall in the world: the 900km long wall that Turkey built on its border with Syria.

Thomas Demand’s solo exhibition House of Card will open as a new site-specific iteration in Toronto, at the Museum of Contemporary Art. With its emphasis on Demand’s exploration into architecture, model making and collaborative processes, based on the exhibition at Museum Leuven in 2020, includes a new selection of works, and again includes those by other influential artists, architects and designers, among them Martin Boyce, Caruso St John and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

At the Kunsthaus Graz Hito Steyerl will present Animal Spirits. The video installation, which premiered this year at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, includes a video interlacing historical film footage with animation, motion graphics and documentary interviews, conducted by Steyerl with shepherds in the Asturias region, Spain, and a group of fellow artists.

In Norway’s Tromsø, at the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum, Daniel Steegmann Mangrané solo exhibition entitled Breathing Line brings together a selection of major works.

Works by Ann Veronica Janssens and Tao Hui are included in The Pieces that I am, a group exhibition at UCCA Edge in Shanghai, opening at the end of the month.

Rosa Barba’s solo exhibition in Tours at CCCOD, the Centre de création contemporaine Olivier Debré, unfolds in two spaces of the art centre. In the nave, Barba has conceived an in situ project, linked to the research she carried out during her recent residency at the Atelier Calder in 2021. The second part of the exhibition takes place in the black gallery and immerses us in a cinematographic space mixing images and sculptures in movement.

In New York, Ecce Homo: The Drawings of General Idea opens at the Drawing Center which, in partnership with Musée d’art moderne et contemporain Geneva (MAMCO), will bring together for the first time in the United States, and again in Geneva in February 2023 the drawings authored by General Idea between 1985-1993.

In addition, iconic pieces by the artist taken from the Collection will be on view, among them Take Over, 2017, and 1395 Days Without Red, 2011, throughout the museum.

Also in Paris, Ugo Rondinone’s solo exhibition the water is a poem unwritten by the air

On Fogo Island, Liam Gillick’s A Variability Quantifier (aka The Fogo Island Red Weather Station) is an artwork intended to function as an operational weather station on Fogo Island. Launching in October, it gathers local weather data and is a place for education, reflection, and discussion.

Cemile Sahin will present her first solo exhibition at the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, A Song of Tigris and Euphrates (working title). The new video continues her ongoing research into the Lausanne treaty, on the occasion of its 100-year-anniversary and is the first of a four-episode film. It tells the story of the Kurdish family Bingöl, whose homeland was flooded by a Turkish water dam project that displaced its members between Istanbul, Paris and the road. The work will also be featured at LOOP in Barcelona.

In London’s Paddington Square, a new piazza space between Praed Street and Paddington Station, Ugo Rondinone unveils a public commission.
