Archive: Two Notable 1301PE Group Exhibitions

In addition to the recent One Room, One Work exhibition, other notable group exhibitions at 1301PE include 'Together Again Like Never Before: The Poster Work of Michael Asher and Martin Kippenberger' from 1999 and Lincoln Tobier, Jorge Pardo, Sarah Seager, and Rirkrit Tiravanija from 1993.

In keeping with his penchant for peripheral spaces, Michael Asher presented only one poster for the exhibition which was the exhibition's invitation. All framed posters inside the gallery space were by Martin Kippenberger, ranging in date from 1978 to 1997.

The exhibition with Lincoln Tobier, Jorge Pardo, Sarah Seager and Rirkrit Tiravanija was an important exhibition at 1301's old space on Franklin Street in Santa Monica. The exhibition is referenced by art historian Lane Relyea in a chapter featured in the upcoming MIT Press book on artistic practices in Los Angeles and Glasgow in the early 90s.
