Absolutes and Intermediates

The Shed presents the most comprehensive retrospective exhibition to date of the work of Agnes Denes (b. 1931), a leading figure in Conceptual and Environmental art. «Agnes Denes: Absolutes and Intermediates» brings together more than 150 works in a broad range of media spanning Denes’s 50-year career, including three new works commissioned by The Shed. “Agnes Denes not only anticipated the man-made destruction of natural habitats at a moment when few people were paying attention, but much of her work features solutions to ecological crises that we are now facing,” said Hans Ulrich Obrist, The Shed’s senior program advisor.
