Passing Leap
Beginning 25 June 2015, Hauser & Wirth is pleased to present 鈥楶assing Leap鈥�, a group exhibition featuring works by Sebastian Black, John Houck, Shana Lutker, Dave McDermott, Brian O鈥橠oherty, Barbara Probst, Sara VanDerBeek, Claudia Wieser, and Haegue Yang.
On view through 31 July, the exhibition takes its title from the name of a complex trapeze trick. A 鈥榩assing leap鈥� is a manoeuvre of great precision and skill, culminating in a dynamic moment in which an aerialist鈥檚 perspective is flipped, time is suspended, and the laws of physics seem to be broken. The artists included in 鈥楶assing Leap鈥� at Hauser & Wirth are connected by a specific interest in challenging the conventional relationship between viewer and artwork. They collapse constraints of time and space in order to suggest alternative realities, environments, and realms of perception. In 鈥楶assing Leap鈥� the viewer is invited to become a participant 鈥� to help resolve open-ended narratives, distorted perspectives, spotty memories, and false histories.
