Gether Contemporary is proud to present the group exhibition ‘Monster Mash’ featuring iconic works by Ai Weiwei, Cyprien Gaillard, Mike Bouchet, Ugo Rondinone, and Urs Fischer.
The works showcased in the exhibition depict an important historic insight into the oeuvre of five of the greatest living artists, who in the interplay between painting, photography, and sculpture create narratives about man vs. nature, destruction, abundance, and supremacy through perspectives that transcend the past and present. Through references to popular culture, religion, and totalitarianism, the works insist on creating debate and drawing attention to man's irrevocable imprint on the world.
Exhibition period: 28 May - 3 July, 2021.
