Gagosian is pleased to announce a book signing with Harmony Korine to celebrate Harmony Korine, recently published by Rizzoli in association with Gagosian and Centre Pompidou, Paris. The event will coincide with the exhibition Harmony Korine: BLOCKBUSTER. This is the first comprehensive monograph on the cinema, art, writing, and creative world of Korine, the boundary-breaking auteur of Kids (1995), Gummo (1997), Mister Lonely (2007), and Spring Breakers (2012). This monograph not only reflects on Korine’s work to date, but also examines his influence over the past twenty years, exploring the artist’s process and experimentation, as well as his expansive use of editing techniques. To attend the event, RSVP to korinebooksigning@gagosian.com.

Artist Spotlight
Harmony Korine
March 16–22, 2022
Applying the term “mistakism” to his combination of wayward aesthetics and non sequitur wit, Miami-based artist and filmmaker Harmony Korine fuses backwoods surrealism with narcotic abstraction to conjure a perverse, disorienting vision. His paintings and mixed-media works incorporate materials such as leftover household emulsion and old videotapes in designs that reflect on memory and emotion. Ranging from swirling psychedelic grids to hand-painted figuration, Korine’s artworks mirror the deliberate confusion of staging and improvisation that characterizes his films, presenting images united by their hypnotic restlessness.

Exhibition
Harmony Korine
Wormburner
August 3–September 7, 2021
The Bridge, Bridgehampton, New York
This exhibition features new paintings by Harmony Korine depicting American presidents in the act of playing golf, a strangely quintessential presidential activity. Each painting is sourced from an archival photograph, which Korine repaints, either in black and white or full color, thereby transforming the original expressions and gestures into almost exaggerated versions of themselves. He then adds ribbons of color that dance across each composition with childlike irreverence, enhancing the paintings’ tragicomic impression while adding a tinge of absurdity.
