John Armleder's Furniture Sculptures Surveyed at David Kordansky Gallery

David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles presents Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982, a survey of John Armleder's historic works from that period, on view May 7 to June 13, 2026. The exhibition focuses on Armleder's Furniture Sculpture series, predominantly from the 1980s, which reflects his enduring interest in collectivity. Armleder attributes this ethos to two formative experiences: a seven-month prison term for refusing Switzerland's mandatory conscription, and his time on a rowing team. He created one of his earliest explorations in an old prison laundry room. The show includes paintings and furniture sculptures that exemplify his collaborative approach to art-making.
