[edit] Exhibitions

Gonzalez-Foerster's work was first exhibited in Britain in the 1992 group exhibition Exhibit "A", which took place at the Serpentine Gallery, London. In 1994, she was included in the group exhibition The Winter of Love at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and at Traffic made in March 1996 at the CAPC by Nicolas Bourriaud. In 2006, her work was included in the São Paulo Art Biennial.

In 2008, she produced an installation for the Tate Modern turbine hall called TH.2058—the title an acronym for "Turbine Hall [in the year] 2058," i.e., fifty years in the future.[3] On 14 April 2011, Gonzalez-Foerster created a large scale performance at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, entitled, "2011.T.1912", 2011.[4]
