Artist Rooms
Robert Therrien

August 18–October 7, 2018
Tate Modern, London

Robert Therrien reconstructs our sense of reality by enlarging the most commonplace objects with stunning accuracy. Tables and chairs and stacks of plates, all familiar objects that were designed for mass use and appeal, universally and instantly recognizable, enter the realm of the symbolic once Therrien reimagines and reinvents their scale. The objects’ original form and function evanesce, and something more than what you see emerges.

No Place Like Home

March 1–June 3, 2018
Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon, Portugal
en.museuberardo.pt

In celebration of Dada’s one hundredth anniversary in 2016 and the centennial of Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain in 2017, this exhibition examines how artists have incorporated commonplace household items into their work, removing these objects from the context of the home in ways that subvert the experiences of daily life. This exhibit has traveled from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Work by Duchamp, Duane Hanson, Damien Hirst, Man Ray, Takashi Murakami, Nam June Paik, Robert Therrien, and Andy Warhol is included.

Out of Sight! Art of the Senses

November 4, 2017–February 4, 2018
Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York
www.albrightknox.org

Out of Sight! Art of the Senses brings together contemporary works of art that actively engage with how our bodies meet the wider world through the
five basic senses. The artists in this exhibition have created experiences that incorporate viewers into the creative process, inviting them to become fully immersed in art that must be smelled, tasted, heard, and felt. Work by Nam June Paik and Robert Therrien is included.
