EXPO CHICAGO


Booth 237

Navy Pier | Chicago

April 11 - 14, 2024


Perrotin is pleased to participate in EXPO Chicago with a curated presentation of artists from our gallery’s roster.


The gallery will present works by Sophie Calle ahead of her solo exhibition at the Walker Art Center later this year. Blending fine art practices and the written word, Calle has been described not only as a conceptual artist, but as a film director, amateur sleuth, photographer, and anthropologist. For her series The Blind, Calle interviewed and photographed participants at an institute for the blind in Paris in 1986, alongside images of what they described as beautiful. Similar to a forensic report, the interplay of narrative and image capture her penetrating exploration into storytelling as a medium. In Parce que (Because), Calle reverses the traditional relationship between image and text through the introduction of a curtain that conceals the image, resulting in a participatory experience.


Our booth will present two series by Iván Argote, from his Bells and Turistas series. On view concurrently, Argote opened an exhibition at Savannah College of Art and Design, a publication installation at Katy Art Trail in Dallas and, later this month, Argote will participate in the Venice Biennale, in the group exhibition Foreigners Everywhere curated by Adriano Pedrosa.


Also on view are a selection of new work by artists on our roster — including John Henderson’s new photographs, paintings, and gypsum casts, Leslie Hewitt’s Riffs on Real Time, a new large-scale painting by Dora Jeridi, and a diptyque by Takashi Murakami. Concurrently, Murakami presents a solo exhibition at the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.


Finally, we will present work by Rina Banerjee, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Pieter Vermeersch.
