Tracey Emin’s autobiographical applique blanket “Hotel International” (1993) was one of the artist’s first works of this kind. Stitched with personal statements, imagery and emotional confessions, Emin’s quilts correlate directly to her later iconic “My Bed” (1998), originally exhibited at Lehmann Maupin, and her embroidery practice overall. On view will be a video by Tony Oursler, “Lost Nuggets from the Vault (Poetics Project 1976-2015)”, adapted from his eponymous multimedia project with Mike Kelley. An iteration of “The Poetics Project” was displayed at Lehmann Maupin’s first New York gallery in 1998. Six paintings from artist Terry Winters’ “Set Diagram” series will also be included. Originally part of a series of 100 paintings, each one yard by one meter, the works were first displayed at Lehmann Maupin’s Soho location in 2001 in a site-specific installation created by architect Rem Koolhaas. From his first show at the gallery in New York in December 2014, Kader Attia’s “Untitled” (2014), a wood sculpture from Oceania repaired with tin, reinforces the artist’s investigations into the cyclical relationship between “injury” and “repair”. It explores the effects of colonization, both psychological and religious, in non-Western cultures. The participing artists are: Richard Artschwager, Kutlug Ataman, Kader Attia, Hernan Bas, Ashley Bickerton, Ross Bleckner, Billy Childish, Mary Corse, Roberto Cuoghi, Tracey Emin, Teresita Fernández, Anya Gallaccio, Gilbert & George, Shirazeh Houshiary, Klara Kristalova, Lee Bul, Liu Wei, Mr., Angel Otero, Tony Oursler, Alex Prager, Robin Rhode, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., David Salle, Jennifer Steinkamp, Do Ho Suh, Juergen Teller, Mickalene Thomas, Adriana Varejão, Kara Walker, Nari Ward, Terry Winters, and Erwin Wurm.
