PONTEGNIE, Anne
Christopher Wool. See Stop Run
Christopher Wool’s See Stop Run debuted in 2024 on the 19th floor of an empty high-rise in Manhattan’s financial district. Curated by Anne Pontegnie, the exhibition featured 75 works set against the raw architecture and cityscape, drawing 12,500 visitors over four and a half months. Gathering nearly 300 photographs of the installation, this expanded artist’s book re-mediates the project through the eyes of its visitors—Instagram users, friends, and fellow artists (including Zoe Leonard, Rita Ackermann, Stuart Comer, Richard Hell). It offers a photographic response to a landmark show, reflecting on the ways in which contemporary art exhibitions are documented and reproduced. The publication also features an extensive conversation between the artist and Pontegnie regarding the show and Wool’s three-decades-long approach to photography and installation. [publisher's note]
