NEW YORK, NY.- Neue Galerie New York presents “Neue Sachlichkeit / New Objectivity,” a special exhibition opening on February 20, 2025. On view through May 26, 2025, the show debuts in conjunction with the centenary of Gustav F. Hartlaub’s 1925 groundbreaking survey of the same name held at the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The New Objectivity movement is considered one of the most significant artistic developments of the twentieth century. Hartlaub’s presentation showcased a new style of art that had emerged in the aftermath of World War I, characterized by its critical realism, social commentary, and detailed depiction of contemporary life, and marking a significant departure from Expressionism’s emotional intensity. The Neue Sachlichkeit movement was divided by two philosophies—the unflinching and socially critical Verists (represented by Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Georg Scholz, for example), and the Classicists (such as Alexander Kanoldt, Georg Schrimpf, and Christian Schad) ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Almine Rech New York, Tribeca is presenting A Glimmer in the Shade, Gwen O’Neil’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from January 17 to March 1, 2025. Surrounded by grandeur, it is no wonder that Gwen O’Neil draws inspiration from her environment. She is transfixed by the phenomena and sensations of the natural world. Through her mesmerizing use of color and instantly recognizable motion, atmospheric conditions dance across the canvas. Her pointillistic technique alludes to nature’s simultaneity and happenstance, while harkening back to the masters Seurat and Signac. Premised on perception, her work explores the interplay of color and its relationship with both the viewer and the surroundings. In line with Michel-Eugène Chevreul’s De ... More

LONDON.-arebyte Gallery announced What Is It Like? — a group exhibition which explores the nature of subjective reality. Inspired by Thomas Nagel’s seminal 1974 paper, What Is It Like to Be a Bat?, the exhibition celebrates how artists use digital tools and AI techniques to craft cultural meaning, bridging creativity, innovation and humanity into our rapidly evolving technological landscape. Delving into language, memory, and the boundaries of consciousness, it sheds light on why AI models currently remain incapable of true sentience, emotion, or self-awareness. Through artworks employing soundscapes, VR, game engines, and the metaverse, viewers are invited to navigate the layered complexities of perception, experience, and consciousness — mirroring with its interactive stage-crafting how AI technologies generate immersive yet illusory realities. What Is It Like? is an exhibition presented in partnership with WRO Art Centre th ... More
MADRID.- The exhibition Huguette Caland. A Life in a Few Lines, which can be seen at the Museo Reina Sofía from February 19 to August 25, 2025, is the first major retrospective in Europe of this Lebanese artist whose life and work constantly defied the aesthetic, social, and sexual conventions of her time and of the different places where she worked.

STOCKHOLM.- In the exhibition, the audience will encounter about a hundred works by Swedish and international artists with drawing as the lowest common denominator. Exhibited here is art that we recognise as “pen on paper”, but also drawings that are expressed in completely different materials and dimensions.

The exhibition presents how artists observe and draw their surroundings, themselves and their everyday lives, but also how they express what cannot be seen or “depicted”, such as emotions, thoughts and social criticism. Annika Gunnarsson is curator of Drawing and Prints at Moderna Museet and curator of the ... More

BERLIN.- Galerie Max Hetzler presents Momentan nicht erreichbar, Elmgreen & Dragset’s first exhibition with the gallery, at Potsdamer Straße 77-87 in Berlin. Through a series of figurative sculptures, the artist duo invites viewers to step into a world of introspective and fragile everyday moments. They pose the question: are the characters that populate the space lost, or are they about to find themselves? Momentan nicht erreichbar opens with a black-patinated bronze sculpture of a vulture perched on a bare tree (Von Oben), as if waiting for the right moment to feed. Just beyond, a sculpture of male figure dressed in hiking gear (L’Addition (Black Bronze)) appears to trek through a distilled snowscape. With his face turned slightly away from the viewer, the lone wanderer seems remote yet trapped within the surrounding walled environment of the white cube. Upstairs, a figure with a camera leans over the bridge leading to the ... More

BARCELONA.- Curated by María Berríos and Agustín Pérez-Rubio, Pleas of Resistance is the first major European museum exhibition dedicated to Carlos Motta (Bogota, 1978). The MACBA exhibition highlights the artist’s commitment to social justice and activism with works that address discrimination in increasingly conservative political environments (such as in the United States), queer people and Latin American decolonization projects. Known for his use of mise-en-scène, the artist carefully balances powerful content, poetic language, and meticulous aesthetics in his transdisciplinary practice. A resident of New York for many years, the artist began his career in the 1990s and is an important figure in contemporary art. The work engages with the politics of gender identity and sexuality, giving voice to dissident expressions in the face of dominant normative discourses. This permeates all of his work, which pivots ... More
Hong Sooyeon, Dazzlingly #2, 2020-2022. Acylic on canvas, 80 7/10 × 63 4/5 × 1 3/5 in. 205 × 162 × 4 cm.
LONDON.- The Korean artist studied Painting in Seoul and New York, and now lives near Seoul. Over a period of thirty years, Hong Sooyeon has developed a distinctive art practice in which her paintings present the viewer with an area of focus, an amorphous, shifting, translucent ‘figure’, which is located within a flatly painted peripheral ‘ground’. This ‘figure’ seems to be three-dimensional; it is modelled as if in relation to some specific light source. But this strange ‘figure’ is not comparable to anything we are likely to see in figurative art, or in a photograph, or during normal daily life. Hong Sooyeon’s work remains mimetic – it is an imitation - but it is not mimetic of something with a recognizable appearance. The visual characteristics of her ‘figure’ invite descriptive words like flow, liquidity, movement, homogeneity, formlessness, unfixity, translucency, vagueness, indeterminacy, convergence, divergence, blending, shift ...

Curated by Carolina Jiménez, the programme takes the form of a structure for gaining insights through artistic practices into the concept of ‘place’, including a critical consideration of notions such as ‘household’, ‘community’, ‘presence’ and ‘belonging’ in all their multiple variants: from the territory and material culture to collective struggles for cohabitation based on solidarity and not on terms of equivalence. The season, entitled how from here, includes four newly-produced exhibitions that address issues such as sustainability, attachment to the environment, cultural resistance and alternative forms of cohabitation. Through the four selected artists, the season explores the connection ... More
Ora-Ora presents Halley Cheng solo show Never Describe a Sunset HONG KONG.- Ora-Ora opens a new solo show by Hong Kong artist Halley Cheng, which takes place at its Tai Kwun space, titled Never Describe a Sunset. The spotlight is on Cheng’s Kapok Series of paintings. The Kapok Series marries reflective surfaces with ferocious reds, yellows and oranges to underline the majestic beauty of nature. Fleeting appearances of found objects and unexpected layers and unpredictable materials underline the leading role that chance and coincidence play in our lives. Rejecting stringent frameworks and constrictive worldviews, Cheng makes the case for randomness and chance as powerful governing forces. Navigating the amorphous and unstructured beauty of the natural world relies on sophisticated intuition which is the essence of what it means to be human. The title Never Describe a Sunset refers to a quotation from ... More
