NOSBAUM REDING - NEW OPENING
28/08/2026
Nosbaum Reding | Projects is pleased to invite you to the opening of a solo exhibition: I’m Too Young To Die, by Gilles Pegel.
I’m Too Young To Die brings together mostly new productions alongside selected earlier works, tracing recurring concerns within Gilles Pegel’s practice.
Digital technologies, artificial intelligence, financial markets, logistics, online culture, branding and automation appear throughout the exhibition as parts of an increasingly interconnected reality. Moving between sculpture, installation, painting, textiles, neon and mixed media, the works shift in material and form according to what each one demands.
Popular culture is present throughout. References to gaming, fashion, advertising and digital culture offer familiar points of entry into broader questions around value, identity, consumption and the systems shaping everyday life.
The title I’m Too Young To Die borrows the iconic difficulty setting from DOOM, but its meaning extends beyond gaming. It speaks to something much more universal: our awareness of mortality and, in the context of an artistic practice, the urge to make sense of the time we are living in. The works become bookmarks of that process, fixing a thought or observation before the world, and our understanding of it, moves on.
Humour is often the first point of contact, but beneath it lies an attempt to understand an increasingly complex present and the place we occupy within it.
On view
17 September – 17 Ocotober, 2026
Opening
17 September, 6 PM, in presence of the artist
Gallery Nosbaum Reding
