Rachel Whiteread will present Substitute, an exhibition of recent sculptures and photographs, at Gagosian Davies Street in London. The exhibition will commence with an opening reception on March 26, 2026, and will be on view through May 16, 2026.

Substitute continues Whiteread's established practice of casting negative space, extending her engagement with the domestic and everyday. The works explore themes of memory, absence, and the overlooked, utilizing found objects as points of departure for her artistic investigations.

The exhibition will feature new sculptures employing diverse materials such as papier-mâché, silver leaf, copper leaf, resin, and fiberglass. These will be shown alongside photographic works, reflecting Whiteread's consistent exploration of form and material within a contemporary art context.
