November 26 - February 14, 2026
On view at Pace Gallery in London, Monument to the Unimportant, is a group exhibition that brings together sculptures, paintings, works on paper, and an installation that each take the everyday object as a point of departure, revealing art’s enduring ability to transform the overlooked into sites of inquiry and visions of delight. The exhibition will on view in London through February 14, 2026.
Monument to the Unimportant extends Genesis Belanger’s long-time interest in the representation of the everyday object in art and will feature her own sculptures alongside works by Henni Alftan, Keith Coventry, Elmgreen & Dragset, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Urs Fischer, Sylvie Fleury, Robert Gober, David Hockney, Martin Kippenberger, Konrad Klapheck, Jac Leirner, Tony Matelli, Claes Oldenburg, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Wayne Thiebaud, Rachel Whiteread, Erwin Wurm, and B. Wurtz. Belanger’s works, often infused with wit and unease, serve as both anchor and lens for this exploration, tracing how the language of objects reflects desire, labor, and care.
