"Pace Gallery presents The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, the first solo exhibition in Los Angeles by Elmgreen & Dragset, on view from September 13th through October 25th. Spanning the gallery's main space and adjoining south gallery, the show explores shifts in perception through acts of doubling, resizing, and spatial reduplication. The Berlin-based duo, known for sculptural interventions that probe identity and belonging, uses the gallery's architecture as both stage and subject."
"The sequence begins at the gallery's reception desk, where a hyper realistic sculpture of a gallery assistant appears to have fallen asleep. From there, visitors enter a terrain where objects expand and contract, as though conjured in her dream. The doubling of artworks across the two gallery spaces underscores the instability of perception, inviting viewers to inhabit the logic of distortion."
Pace Gallery mounts The Alice in Wonderland Syndrome by Elmgreen & Dragset in Los Angeles from September 13 through October 25, occupying the main space and south gallery. The exhibition stages shifts in perception through acts of doubling, resizing, and spatial reduplication, presenting full-scale works alongside exact half-size replicas in a meticulously constructed miniature. The sequence begins with a hyper-realistic sculpture of a sleeping gallery assistant at the reception desk and then leads into environments where objects expand and contract. The title references Dysmetropsia, and the artists include Sky Target mirror-polished cloud paintings on stainless steel disks.
