And if I See You Sundays

Opening: March 19, 2025, 7pm

Duration: March 20 – May 16, 2025

Galerie Krinzinger is pleased to announce the show

And if I See You Sundays, the second solo exhibition of Monica Bonvicini to take place in the gallery space. In her new body of work, Bonvicini continues her critical exploration of power, gender and the built environment.

The artist’s new series, And if I See You Sundays (2025), also the title of the show, consists of massive anchor chains that have been welded into sculptural works where industrial strength clashes with visual impacts. Coated in vibrant, glossy colors, these heavy pieces appear paradoxically light, their true weight obscured by the shimmering surfaces. Bonvicini’s choice of color is based on scientific studies on human perception, specifically the ways in which color recognition and definition differ along gender lines. The chains embody these subtle variations, challenging conventional understandings of form and perception while alluding to meaningful emotional and intellectual reactions.

One room of the gallery is dedicated to a new series of colored mirror works where phrases like “Implementation of Desire” or “She is such a Queen” emerge as if carved into the shimmering material. These pieces continue the artist’s engagement with language, poetry, and feminist discourse. Thanks to the complex application of layers of lacquers on the mirrors, the surfaces appear almost liquid and luminous. Text remains a crucial component in Bonvicini’s artistic practice, where visual and textual elements are woven together to create space for associations with color and memory.

Opening Hours: Tue – Fri 12 – 6 PM, Sat 11 AM – 4 PM
