Duo Exhibition by David Adjaye and Adam Pendleton at Pace Gallery


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Pace Gallery is delighted to present the first ever two-person exhibition between internationally renowned American artist Adam Pendleton and Sir David Adjaye OBE, Ghanaian-British artist and world-leading architect. The exhibition features a new body of paintings entitled Untitled (WE ARE NOT), presented in visual and spatial dialogue with a set of sculptural works by Adjaye. Viewed in concert, the works articulate a shared visual lexicon that explores questions of language, identity, and monumentality. Coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong, the exhibition is on view at Pace’s gallery in H Queen’s May 18 – June 30, 2021.

The two artists first met in 2016 while Pendleton was installing a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, a building designed by Adjaye. In the years that followed, their continued dialogue revealed a mutual interest in the politics of space and representation, as well as the relationship between art and architecture. The exhibition at Pace in Hong Kong will be the first time their independent endeavors have been presented in dialogue with one another.

Gallery address: 12/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central
