‘glimpse,’ Phyllida Barlow’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles in her celebrated five-decade career, will be an ambitious presentation of new large-scale works assembled on site and in response to the gallery’s physical adaptation of the historic Globe Mills, a collection of late 19th and early 20th century buildings. Barlow will respond to, manipulate, and punctuate the distinctive architectural features of the gallery’s complex with her sculptures, yielding an intimate and confrontational encounter between form, environment, and viewer. Visitors will be encouraged to walk around and under, and look up and over the sculpture—a critical element of Barlow’s work, typical of her longtime exploration of the ways in which sculpture can open the mind to different realms of experience by summoning the body forward.

Spanning both North Galleries and the outdoor courtyard, Gary Simmons’ first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth will debut new paintings, wall drawings, and sculpture, as well as the installation ‘Recapturing Memories of the Black Ark,’ presented for the first time in Los Angeles. For over 30 years, Simmons’ multidisciplinary practice has probed American history to examine the pervasive nature of racist ideology and its manifestations in visual culture. Drawn from both personal and collective memory, his works address themes of race, identity, politics, and social inequality, and the ways in which these issues are both evident and concealed in the cultural landscape.
The exhibition is free. Reservations are not necessary. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be required upon entry to the gallery and masks are required inside of exhibition and retail spaces
