Jason Rhoades - 1:12 Perfect World - Hauser&Wirth - London



24 September – 18 December 2010

Hauser & Wirth is proud to announce the gallery’s first posthumous show of Jason Rhoades’ work and the artist’s first European solo exhibition since his death in 2006. The exhibition features ’1:12 Perfect World’, Rhoades’ scale model of his groundbreaking 1999 exhibition, ‘Perfect World’ at Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. Originally existing as four quarters, the sterling silver model will be brought together at Hauser & Wirth’s Piccadilly gallery, viewable in its entirety for the first time. Like his previous exhibition, ‘The Black Pussy… and the Pagan Idol Workshop’ installed at Hauser & Wirth London in 2005, Rhoades’ incredibly complex installation ‘Perfect World’ created a visual maelstrom of miscellaneous objects and cultural allusions.
