How Alicja Kwade Traps Time in Her Monumental Exhibition "Telos Tales"

Step inside "Telos Tales," Alicja Kwade's first major solo exhibition with Pace, on view in New York through August 15, 2025. Featuring new commentary from the artist and Pace CEO Marc Glimcher, this film sheds light on the scientific and philosophical concepts that Kwade explores as part of her work—including teleology, which is central to her show at Pace—as well as the art historical lineage of her practice. Engaging with the intangible nature of time, "Telos Tales" is an immersive exhibition of large-scale sculptures that deepens Kwade's long-standing interest in temporality as a structuring principle of perception, reality, and causality. "It questions what our position is in the structure of this universe that we're thrown into," the artist says of the presentation.
