Garner – Outdoor Furniture ; Monogram No 7

Pippa Garner’s multidisciplinary practice, which is receiving a renewed visibility and institutional attention, features a wide, and for the most part still undiscovered, photographic archive of thousands of images. Consisting of personal documentations spanning fifty years, her photography work encompasses also street photography shots from the late 70s and early 80s, captured on her daily explorations of Los Angeles. Outdoor Furniture collects a range of pictures of jiggered sofas that were abandoned in the streets of the Californian city.

Pippa Garner studied transportation design at the ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles. Garner has shown at ICA LA (1980), MOCA LA (1985), and performed at the Whitney Museum of American Art with Chip Lord (1980). She appeared in character as a guest on talk shows including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Merv Griffin Show, and Monster Garage. Recently, Garner has had solo exhibitions at JOAN (2021), Kunstverein München (2022), Kunsthalle Zürich (2023), Frac Lorraine (2023), and Art Omi (2023). Garner lives and works in Long Beach, California.
