British artist Idris Khan is getting his first U.S. survey exhibition and the traveling show will debut at the Milwaukee Art Museum in 2024, the museum announced Tuesday.
“Idris Khan: Repeat After Me” will follow more than two decades of work by the Birmingham-born, London-based multi-disciplinary artist and includes paintings, photography, sculpture, works on paper and video.
It is slated to be on view at MAM in the main Baker/Rowland Galleries April 5-Aug. 11, 2024.
“This exhibition builds on the Milwaukee Art Museum’s history of identifying groundbreaking artists and giving them a platform to present their work,” said Marcelle Polednik, Ph.D., the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum and the exhibition curator.
“Khan’s practice condenses human experience into images that are both tactile and conceptual, imbued with echoes and reverberations that evoke the flow of time in an innovative way. With this exhibition, the Museum invites our community to engage with Khan’s poetic vision of memory and history.”
In addition to including acclaimed works like “every…Bernd & Hilla Becher Prison Type Gasholder,” “A,D.959. B,D.960. C,D.958…after Franz Schubert,” “Burnt Wood” and “The Four Seasons,” the artist will also debut a series of abstract watercolors inspired by mass reproductions of iconic masterworks of art, in the exhibition.
There will also be an exhibition catalog published, and a series of events.
The MAM announcement did not say whether or not the artist, who was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to art, will visit Milwaukee during the exhibition.
