Taking a cue from Gilles Deleuze’s invocation of the fold as a basic ordering unit—in turn borrowed from Leibniz’s theory of the monad—”Falling Right into Place” will bring together twenty videos, photographs, installations, and sculptures that riff on this theme. More exploratory than didactic, the two-venue show intends to function as a “basic research” effort into the idea of folding and its related, Serra-esque processes: e.g., wrapping, stripping, appearing, postponing. Gareth James’s architectural models and Pierre Huyghe’s origami sculptures will be shown alongside works by eighteen other artists, including Doug Aitken, John Baldessari, Eva Hesse, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Janaina Tschäpe, and read against a hefty and appropriately interdisciplinary catalogue—with essays by Antje von Graevenitz, curator Sylvia Martin, and others.
