Foxy Morons unite to celebrate Misc. Pippa Venus Garner’s holiest of holidays, April Fool’s Day. 

This April 1st, 2026, the newly-launched Pippa Garner Foundation will screen rare television appearances by the late artist, including her prankishly sincere guest spot on the reality TV show Monster Garage (2005) and hidden gems from her personal archive. 

New Pippa merch will also be available for purchase in-store: a limited-edition replica of the “Foxy Moron” T-shirt she wore on Monster Garage, and the “unauthorized collaboration” bumper sticker, courtesy of artist Megan Plunkett and the Estate of Pippa Garner.

Proceeds from ticket and merch sales go to the Pippa Garner Foundation, preserving and expanding upon the legacy of art history’s finest fool, the conceptual artist, cat lover, late life lesbian (L³), gym body, Gemini, anti-war, inventor Pippa Garner. 

For those unable to attend the screening, please join us at 9pm for the afterparty downstairs with a playlist by Matt Hilvers of SHIRTLIFTERS. The afterparty is not ticketed and free. NO RSVP necessary.

This screening and afterparty is hosted by Ron Athey, Fiona Alison Duncan, Hayden Dunham, Nichole Fitch, Matt Hilvers, Megan Plunkett, Christopher Schwartz, and P. Staff. 

Pippa Garner guest spots on Monster Garage, the Jesse James-led Discovery Network reality TV show where ordinary vehicles are transformed into “monster machines.” In this episode (season 2, episode 13, sometimes listed as 15), the Monster Garage team—plus Pippa—turned a 2004 Picklefork Ultra Boat into a racing machine, taking parts from land, air, and water. The episode first aired on Jan 26, 2004 and was later collected on the season 2 DVD release. 

Selected hidden gem TV appearances from Pippa Garner’s VHS archives. With thanks to Alta Buden, Jeff Johnson, and John Silvis.

Pippa Garner (b. 1942, Evanston; d. 2024, Long Beach) produced a vast body of work over five decades that represents a study of—and intervention into—the waxing and waning cycles of commodity fetishism, and the marvels and drudgery of everyday life refracted through the glint of American capitalism. Her work takes the form of classified ads, garments, custom cars, drawings, body modification, advertising, photography, furniture, sculptures, publications, and performances on the streets or on television. Selected solo exhibitions have been held at Art Omi, Ghent (2023); White Columns, New York (2023); Frac Lorraine, Metz (2023); Kunsthalle Zurich (2023); Kunstverein Munich (2022); Verge Center for the Arts, Sacramento (2022); and JOAN, Los Angeles (2021). Selected group exhibitions have been held at Museum of Contemporary Art, Rome (2024); Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles (2024); Whitney Museum of Art, New York (2024); 8th Yokohama Triennale (2024); and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2023). A forthcoming exhibition of Garner’s furniture designs will open at Superhouse, New York in November 2026. Garner’s work is in the collections of Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Kunsthaus Zurich; and Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York.

The Pippa Garner Foundation is co-run by Christopher Schwartz, Sara O’Keeffe, and Fiona Alison Duncan.
