Love Lunch 2019: A lunchtime tour of Mona Hatoum, Harmony Hammond and Dóra Maurer by White Cube
White Cube’s exhibition programme extends across its three gallery spaces: Bermondsey in South London, Mason’s Yard in St. James’s, London and Hong Kong Central district. Since its inception in 1993, the gallery has exhibited the work of many of the world’s most highly acclaimed contemporary artists.
A lunchtime tour of Mona Hatoum, Harmony Hammond and Dóra Maurer.
Mona Hatoum
White Cube is pleased to present an exhibition by Mona Hatoum. The first presentation of her work in London since Tate Modern in 2016, it includes new and recent installation, sculpture and works on paper.
Hatoum’s work reflects on subjects that arise from our current global condition, including systems of confinement, the architecture of surveillance and themes of mobility and conflict. Channelling the poetic charge and metaphoric resonance of a wide range of materials from steel, brick and concrete, to rubble, glass and human hair, in this exhibition she explores the elemental forms of the grid and the sphere, drawing on both the geometric rigour of Minimalist sculpture and the possibilities for its formal collapse.
Harmony Hammond
White Cube is pleased to present the first European solo exhibition by Harmony Hammond (b.1944, Chicago). The American artist, curator, author and activist was a pivotal figure of the feminist art movement in New York, co-founding in 1972, A.I.R., the first women’s cooperative art gallery in the city, and the journal Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics in 1977.
Hammond’s earliest feminist work combined gender politics with Post-Minimalist concerns for material and process, frequently occupying a space between painting and sculpture – a focus that continues to this day.
Dóra Mauer
Dóra Maurer (b.1937, Budapest) is at the forefront of Hungarian neo-avant garde. One of the most experimental artists to emerge from Eastern Europe during the past half a century, her rigorous, conceptual practice is based on mathematical and complex system processes. Encompassing painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and film making, the artist’s diverse career has spanned over 50 years.
