Greengrassi is pleased to announce Frances Stark's fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will present a new four channel video along with wall based work.

In May 2015, The Art Institute Chicago will present a solo show entitled Intimism which will focus on Stark’s video and digital production; the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles will present her most comprehensive mid career survey in October 2015. Recent solo exhibitions or projects include the Hayward Gallery, London (2014); the Julia Stoschek Collection, Düsseldorf (2013); MoMA P.S.1, New York (2011); the M.I.T. List Center, Cambridge (2010); Portikus, Frankfurt (2008); FRAC Bourgogne, Dijon (2007), Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven (2007). Her large-scale multimedia works have been presented in major international exhibitions, including her digital video “My Best Thing”, first shown at the 54th Venice Biennial (2011), “Put a Song in your Thing” from Performa, New York (2011), and her work “Bobby Jesus’s Alma Matter…” at the Carnegie International, Pittsburg (2013).

She is brutally honest in a way few artists have dared to be about the complexities and contradictions of desire and about the ways the Internet has created new opportunities and appetites. … It is hard to think of another artist so nakedly present in his or her own work, and it can seem staggering that Stark is so willing to disclose intimate details. … [T]he overridingly optimistic claim of these works is that from today’s conditions of defeat and disconnection might spring a form of connectedness that is nothing like the Facebook version of networked friendship, because it is beyond the reach of commercialization. — Mark Godfrey, Artforum, January 2013
