Based entirely upon Avery Singer’s childhood memories of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, ‘Free Fall’ at Hauser & Wirth London in Fall 2023, explored the wider societal impact of collective trauma and proliferating image culture and media dissemination. In this exhibition, Singer transformed the London gallery, constructing a world based upon her memories of growing up in New York City and introduced layered evocations of some of the people who were present on one of the most fateful days in modern history.

In planning the exhibition, our gallery team discussed ways to incorporate sustainable approaches to exhibition making. This was the first climate impact study our London gallery team embarked on—led by the artist and her team on the development of the show.

On the occasion of his first solo presentation with the gallery in New York City, artist Gary Simmons met with students from Artistic Noise to discuss his newest body of work. On view at our Wooster Street location, ‘Thin Ice’ debuts sculpture, paintings and drawings—including a sequence of canvases that isolate and re-purpose archetypical racialized imagery from cartoons of the 1920s and early 1930s, and a site-specific wall drawing referencing one of the most iconic films of the 1960s—to capture the instability and disorientation of the current American moment.

On the occasion of ‘Jack Whitten. Speedchaser,’ Hauser & Wirth London hosted ‘Painters on Painting’—an exploratory learning event where artists, tutors and students engage in a conversation around painting exhibitions at Hauser & Wirth. The events aim to bring young voices into the conversation on contemporary painting and artistic processes.
