Curated by Urs Fischer and developed in collaboration with Dia Art Foundation, New York, THE TIGHTER THEY’RE WOUND, THE HARDER THEY UNRAVEL is the first institutional survey in the United States devoted to John Chamberlain in over a decade. Spanning three floors of the museum and arranged in an evocative, cross-temporal mise-en-scène, the exhibition embraces Chamberlain’s love of discovery and intuitive approach to scale, fit, and attachment.

Carol Bove and John Chamberlain

This exhibition places sculptures by Carol Bove and John Chamberlain in dialogue, offering visitors opportunities to discover points of convergence and divergence across the artists’ approaches. Bove combines rough found metal with dexterously manipulated and highly finished painted steel. Although her work is often linked to Chamberlain’s assemblages of crushed car and machine parts, the two artists differ radically in their thinking about color, form, and the way that sculpture structures the space around it.
