Pippa Garner's irreverent five-decade survey Act Like You Know Me opens at White Columns

"Act Like You Know Me," a comprehensive exhibition showcasing Pippa Garner's artistic journey spanning fifty years, is currently on display at White Columns in New York. This collection includes photographs, drawings, and various ephemera. Garner's provocative 1969 work, Kar-Mann (Half Human Half Car), resulted in her dismissal from ArtCenter in Los Angeles, where she explored themes of eroticism and critique within car culture. This exhibition follows her recent survey at Art Omi and the reissue of her 1982 Better Living Catalog. Garner's media contributions include notable appearances on The Tonight Show in 1982 and Monster Garage. The show, which runs from 3 November to 16 December, emphasizes critiques of consumerism and gender-hacking, featuring car and men’s magazines, such as Esquire's November 1974 edition.
