The gallery's second solo exhibition with German artist Karin Sander. The exhibition is titled Karin Sander, but it is not dedicated solely to the artist.

The work consists of sixty photographs depicting German, Austrian, and Swiss women all named Karin Sander.
D'Amelio Terras is pleased to present Karin Sander, the gallery's second
solo exhibition with German artist Karin Sander. The exhibition is titled
Karin Sander, but it is not dedicated solely to the artist. Sander describes
the work as 'a portrait of a name, an artist, and three generations of
women.' The work consists of sixty photographs depicting German, Austrian,
and Swiss women all named Karin Sander. The artist asked the women that
share her name to make a personal photograph available for an art project,
and the photos  each a self-chosen portrait  are a collection of sixty
lives. The work touches on issues of biography, history, time, and artistic
agency, themes central to earlier portrait works such as the 3-D bodyscans
digitally rendered as 1:10 scale figures presented at D'Amelio Terras in
2000.
Prior to the opening of the gallery's exhibition, Karin Sander will present
wordsearch, the second annual installment of the Deutsche Bank's 'Moment
Art' series. wordsearch is a 'trans-linguistic sculpture' that attempts to
create a portrait of New York City through contributed words in the native
languages of 250 New Yorkers. A special sixty-eight page insert will be
presented along with the New York Times Magazine on September 29; the
wordsearch project will be presented in the New York Times Business Day
section on October 4. More information about the project is available on the
Moment Art website, located at http://www.moment-art.com.
This summer, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart presented a mid-career survey of
Karin Sander's work and Hatje Cantz Publishers produced a monograph
documenting the artist's work to date. Sander has recently exhibited in
Japan, Europe, and across the United States, was included in the San
Francisco Museum of Modern Art's 010101: Art in Technological Times and
earlier was featured in Projects 46 at the Museum of Modern Art.
