Peter Regli

Peter Regli (b. 1959 in Andermatt, Switzerland) is best known for his ongoing project, Reality Hacking, a series of temporary and often anonymous interventions in the landscape and other public spaces. Initiated in the 1990s and spanning four continents, Reality Hacking consists of over 380 interventions to date, including such varied works as RH No. 320 (Snow Monsters) (2015), a constellation of twelve marble snowmen in various stages of melting that occupied the plaza outside of the Flatiron Building in New York City; RH No. 202 (2002–2003), a composition performed by the Ensemble for New Music Zürich based on a recording the artist made of a glass shelf filled with crystal objects crashing down a flight of stairs; RH No. 200 (2002), an artificial doughnut-shaped island built at the delta of a river in Switzerland using rocks and earth from the construction of a nearby tunnel; and RH No. 244 (2007), a snowman installed at the southernmost point of the African continent.

Recent solo exhibitions include La fin de l’été, Galerie Laurence Bernard, Geneva (2018); Led by The Yellow Bricks, Kunstraum Walcheturm, Zürich (2016); One Sun – One Moon, Dominique Lévy Gallery, New York (2015); RH No. 315: Sleeping Stone, Karma, Amagansett, New York (2014); RH No. 313: Ages of Smoke, Istituto Svizzero, Milan (2014), RH No. 289: White Horse Dream, Kunst Halle St. Gallen, Switzerland (2011), and RH No. 240: Same Same—But Different, Helmhaus Zürich (2007). Regli’s work is included in many important international public and private collections, including the Kunsthaus Zürich, the Fotomuseum Winterthur, and the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zürich. He lives and works in New York, Tucson, and Zürich.

Peter Regli: One Sun – One Moon

March 22, 2017

Peter Regli: One Sun – One Moon at Dominique Lévy presented 'Reality Hacking No. 240 (2007 – present),' an ensemble of sacred and totemic personages situated in animated pairs and groups. The shared medium of carved marble makes these venerated symbols and folkloric figures appear to have a family resemblance as they meet head-on in a cultural exchange between the East and the West.
