Propo / The mess I'm looking for
Hauser & Wirth is delighted to present an exhibition of over 60 photographs by Paul McCarthy. This selection, many of which have only been seen before in publications, is taken from the artist's large group of more than 120 photographs, collectively known as Propo. 'The mess I'm looking for' will act as the third part in a trilogy of exhibitions comprising Houseago's debut show with the gallery, with 'I'll be your sister' and 'Special Brew', opening at Hauser & Wirth London, Savile Row on 7 September. For his first solo show in Switzerland, Houseago will present a new, large-scale figure and a selection of wall works, including reliefs and masks. Together, these works showcase Houseago's vast range of influences, from the abundance of nature and the sculpture of non-Western art to the superheroes and villains of comic books and cartoons.
