Louise Bourgeois: Rocking to Infinity

"Kukje Gallery is pleased to present Louise Bourgeois’s solo exhibition Rocking to Infinity, on view in the gallery’s K3 and Hanok spaces from September 2 to October 26, 2025. The exhibition presents a selection of sculptures and works on paper from the last twenty years of the artist’s career. The title, which comes from one of Bourgeois’s writings, invokes the image of a mother cradling a child and rocking it to sleep, a blissful moment of security and togetherness."

GIRLS. On Boredom, Rebellion and Being In-Between

"GIRLS explores the beauty and complexity of girlhood. How has girlhood been represented? How is it remembered? And how does the idea of ‘the girl’ continue to shape visual culture and fashion?"

This group exhibition includes footage and garments from Bourgeois's 1992 performance She Lost It and other archival materials.
