Pace will present 37 Dimensions, an exhibition of new work by New York-based artist Mika Tajima, at its gallery in Los Angeles from June 20 through August 15. Marking Tajima’s first solo exhibition with Pace in the city of her birth, this presentation will situate her latest series, titled 24 Hour Cosmos, among other recent bodies of work.
The exhibition takes its title, 37 Dimensions, from a development in Quantum Physics showing that light can exist across as many as 37 dimensions—far beyond the three-dimensional framework that shapes everyday perception. Tajima’s 24 Hour Cosmos series builds on her 2024 sculpture Sense Object (January 1, 2023, United States), which captured a single day’s national sentiment using social media data compressed into a 5D memory crystal. Expanding this approach, each 24 Hour Cosmos work translates a day’s global news data into a luminous material abstraction, embedding it into the surface like a long-exposure record of time and light.
These works are presented in dialogue with Tajima’s recent Negentropica series, first shown at Pace in London in 2025. Featuring carved, punctured black marble vases and floral arrangements whose decay is chemically slowed and infused with fluorescence, the UV-lit works act as bio-hacked spectral forms, emitting an otherwise invisible life force. In contrast to the data-driven 24 Hour Cosmos, both series consider differing scales of time—human, geological, cosmic, and technological. In the adjacent south gallery, the exhibition extends into works from Tajima’s ongoing Art d’Ameublement and Negative Entropy series, which explore the amplification of sensory input through singular processes of making.
