NEW YORK, NY.- Hauser & Wirth is presenting Monika Sosnowska’s ‘Tower’, a mammoth new work that conjoins architecture and sculpture in order to explore the politics and poetics of space. Known for large-scale, site-specific installations, Sosnowska creates psychologically charged art rooted in existing structures and influenced by the built environment. She manipulates forms – collapsing, twisting, and squeezing steel – into disorienting configurations that not only alter perceptions of physical space but challenge our certainties about memory and our assumptions about societal structures.

‘Tower’ is on view from 5 September through 25 October at Hauser & Wirth’s downtown gallery at 511 West 18th Street.
