Francis Alÿs: The Gibraltar Projects

David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition by Francis Alÿs (b. 1959) at the gallery’s 519 and 525 West 19th Street locations in New York. Featuring the artist’s acclaimed series Don’t Cross the Bridge Before You Get to the River—an expansive group of works made from 2006 onward that relate to an action that took place simultaneously on opposite shores of the Strait of Gibraltar on August 12, 2008—it will be Alÿs’s first show in New York in more than ten years. This presentation will mark the New York debut of this body of work, which has previously been exhibited at museums across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, and South America.
