Invitation issued for Window, Isa Genzken’s 2020 exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, London. The printed image reproduces an installation of aircraft window panels and economy-class seating. A structure of transit is moved into the gallery. Window, seat, wall, and support become detached architectural units.

The invitation operates as a minor exhibition record. It carries the image, the address, the date, the opening time, and the institutional credit line. A temporary exhibition is reduced to a card. The card remains after the room has been cleared.

Genzken’s practice has long moved through architecture, display, urban material, and damaged modernist form. Here, the window is not simply a view. It is a frame, a surface, a limit, and a system for looking.

The invitation remains an invitation.
The exhibition has closed. The card has not.

Shipping and handling included in the listed price. Ships flat with protective backing.
