Lygia Clark: The I and the You

Luhring Augustine is pleased to announce the opening of The I and the You, a solo exhibition of works by Lygia Clark, on view at Whitechapel Gallery in London October 2, 2024 through January 12, 2025.

Marking the first major survey exhibition in a UK museum of Clark’s work, The I and the You focuses on her artistic journey from the mid-1950s to early 1970s, a particularly volatile period in Brazil’s history in which radical modes of artistic practice also emerged. Encompassing paintings, works on paper, a selection of Clark’s renowned “Bichos," as well as other groundbreaking participatory works, The I and the You shows how Clark’s early formal experimentations, and growing interest in the philosophy of experience and therapeutic potential of art, led to a gradual closure of the gap between the work and the viewer. An integrated programme of public talks, walks, and other participatory events will further contextualise Lygia Clark’s work and practice.
