Offset print on folded card. Very good vintage condition with light handling wear and minor surface marks consistent with age and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibition invitation issued by Pace London for Adam Pendleton, \u003cem\u003eNew Work\u003c\/em\u003e, First Floor, 6 Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3ET, 16 April – 23 May 2015. Private view: Wednesday 15 April 2015, 6–8 pm. The exhibition coincided with Pendleton’s participation in the Belgian Pavilion at the 56th Venice Biennale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover reproduces a work from Pendleton’s ongoing \u003cem\u003eBlack Dada\u003c\/em\u003e vocabulary, in which image, typography, and political language remain inseparable. Produced in 2015, as \u003cem\u003eBlack Lives Matter\u003c\/em\u003e entered broader public consciousness, the invitation records a moment when the language of protest and the language of contemporary art briefly occupied the same printed surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe inside text performs two functions simultaneously: an exhibition announcement and a public acknowledgement of the artist’s movement into an international institutional framework. The cover carries the work; the reverse carries the institution. Between them, the card records an exhibition at the point of distribution, before criticism, acquisition, or retrospective framing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts original function was temporary. Mailed, collected at the gallery, or discarded after the opening, the card existed to facilitate attendance rather than permanence. Surviving examples now operate differently. They preserve an exhibition before it became documentation and retain the administrative form through which the exhibition first circulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Pendleton’s institutional profile has continued to expand, early gallery invitations associated with significant exhibitions and the 2015 Venice Biennale have acquired increasing relevance as primary documents of his early international circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included in the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pace London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53804628017490,"sku":"PENDLETON-PACE-INV-2015","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Pendleton_Adam._Show_invite_new_work_coincides_with_participation_in_Belgian_Pavilion_at_Venice_Biennale._2015_front.jpg?v=1781972103","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/adam-pendleton-new-work-pace-london-2015","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
