BERLIN.- “Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time” at Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart is the first major retrospective of the composer and artist in Europe. Ryuichi Sakamoto is regarded as a pioneer of electronic and experimental music who repeatedly redefined the boundaries between sound, film, performance and visual art. From the 2000s onwards, he developed three-dimensional sound environments, often in collaboration with international artists such as Shiro Takatani and Carsten Nicolai, or filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul. “Ryuichi Sakamoto | seeing sound, hearing time” presents seven works in five large-scale installations and opens during Berlin Art Week. The exhibition centres on the intersection of sound and art, which has been a hallmark of Hamburger Bahnhof since it was founded 30 years ago. Earthquakes playing the piano or Tilda Swinton falling asleep: ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- The Guggenheim New York presents Taryn Simon | Father Country I Do Love You, a major exhibition premiering a new body of work by artist Taryn Simon (b. 1975, New York). On view during the 250th anniversary of the United States, this presentation will bring together never-before-seen photographs, texts, videos, and sculptures into a singular, interactive installation filling the entire rotunda. It marks the first monographic exhibition by a photography-based artist in the iconic spiral rotunda and the largest debut of new work ever staged at the Guggenheim. Nearly a decade in the making, Father Country I Do Love You (2026) traces the real life of one unnamed federal agent through 42 multipart artworks or “chapters.” The immense project is a labyrinth of stories in which Simon uncovers the ripple effects of her protagonist’s actions and inactions. Through duty, devotion, loss, and happenstance, the federal agent acted as a middleman, witnessing events ... More

BERLIN.- Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki was a superstar among Berlin artists in the late 18th century. To mark his 300th birthday, the Kupferstichkabinett, in cooperation with the Akademie der Künste and the Gemäldegalerie ‒ Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, is dedicating a cabinet exhibition to the artist, showcasing more than twenty of his most important works from all periods in his oeuvre. These works continue to inspire us with their subtle humour, but are also thought-provoking. Even now, the socio-political issues and Enlightenment subjects they touch upon and explore have not lost their relevance. Chodowiecki’s most significant works from around 1767, depictions of Der Abschied des Jean Calas von seiner Familie (The Parting of Jean Calas from His Family) ‒ from three collections ‒ can be viewed together for the first time at one location. The basis for Chodowiecki’s composition was the tragic fate of Jean Calas, a merchant ... More

BERLIN.- The Neue Nationalgalerie presents NIGHT, the first major solo exhibition in Germany by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, recipient of the Preis der Nationalgalerie 2026. Conceived for Mies van der Rohe’s glass hall, the exhibition brings together seminal historical works and new commissions in an installation that lends the museum the character of a contemporary church — a space of gathering, elevation and reflection. NIGHT takes shape around themes of history, power, memory, identity and belief. Across the exhibition, familiar images and figures are shifted just enough to unsettle their meaning, opening them to readings that move between irony and ambiguity. In dialogue with Mies van der Rohe’s architecture, Cattelan’s works activate the building not as a container, but as part of the exhibition itself. The title NIGHT evokes a condition in which things are seen not less clearly, but differently. As Maurizio Cattelan puts it: “Night is not simply the absence o ... More

PERTH.- Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts has today announced internationally acclaimed sculptor Yona Lee as the recipient of its 2027 Judy Wheeler Commission, a prestigious annual initiative championing the depth, diversity and bold innovation of Australian contemporary arts practice.

Each year, the Judy Wheeler Commission supports the creation of a new site-specific work by an Australian artist that responds physically or conceptually to PICA’s building and its history, embodying the organisation’s spirit of experimentation and celebrating art’s power to connect people and places. For the 2027 Commission, Lee will create an expansive, site-specific sculpture that occupies PICA’s first floor and responds directly to its architecture. Constructed from stainless-steel ... More

Sophie Delaporte, Pompon, 1999. From the series Early Fashion Work by Sophie Delaporte. Digital C-Print, 18 x 23 in. Ed. of 10.
NEW YORK, NY.- Sous Les Etoiles Gallery is presenting The Thread Between an exhibition by Sophie Delaporte bringing together her Needleworks series and a selection of her early fashion photographs. Spanning nearly three decades of artistic practice, the exhibition reveals a continuous exploration of femininity, desire, intimacy, and the representation of the female body. The exhibition will be on view through October 31st. The Thread Between evokes Delaporte’s way of challenging established visual codes from inside the image itself. Rather than rejecting the languages of fashion and erotic representation, she inhabits them, disrupts them, and ultimately makes them her own. Moving between photography, fashion, and physical intervention upon the image, Delaporte challenges conventional ways of looking. From the provocative intimacy of Needleworks to the imaginative freedom of her early fashion work, women ... More
Visitor’s Center entry.
NASHVILLE, TENN.- Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage is preparing for a once-in-a-generation transformation. The Andrew Jackson Foundation today announced plans for major improvements across the 1,120-acre historic site, including a new, approximately 70,000-square-foot Visitor and Education Center, expanded interpretation, restored historic spaces, new visitor amenities and a reimagined experience for the more than 170,000 people who visit The Hermitage each year. At the center of the broader vision is a simple idea: “Held by the Land.” The concept by renowned architect Perkins&Will places the historic landscape at the heart of the visitor experience. The proposed Visitor and Education Center will follow the natural contours of the property, with much of the building located below grade. A new, tree-lined approach and re-oriented walking paths will preserve important views while creating a stronger connection between visitors and the historic landscape. The goal: bring people into the story befo ... More

Mohammed Sami is the National Gallery 2027 Artist in Residence LONDON.- The National Gallery today announced Mohammed Sami as its Artist in Residence for 2027. Celebrated for his powerful paintings of psychologically charged interiors and landscapes, Sami investigates both the possibilities and limits of painting as a means of evoking the memories of moments passed. His works often depict sites marked by conflict yet deliberately refrain from portraying acts of violence themselves. Instead, through nuanced painterly dexterity, he presents traces, fragments and remnants, constructing enigmatic scenes where the absence of human figures welcomes contemplation and interpretation. Sami has been invited to develop his artistic practice in dialogue with the National Gallery’s collection. Having begun his residency in August 2026, he will spend a year working in the Gallery’s onsite studio, with exceptional access to its collection ... More
Kristen Lorello presents fifth solo exhibition with sculptor Bayne Peterson NEW YORK, NY.- Kristen Lorello is presenting its fifth solo exhibition with Rhode Island-based sculptor Bayne Peterson. The exhibition features seven new hand formed pedestal-based sculptures in the artist’s iconic medium of laminated plywood, a medium the artist has been exploring since the gallery’s inception in 2014. Through luscious surfaces of sloping and concentric patterns, for more than a decade, Peterson has tested the optical and perceptual limits of hand formed three dimensional sculptures while refining his technical acuity in woodcarving. Labor, time, and the joy of process complement art historical and environmental research, resulting in sculptures that blend disparate themes and encourage the viewer to imagine beyond fixed categories. Abstraction that appears biological, ecological, and technological takes its cues from various ... More

Following previous exhibition collaborations between the History Museum of Armenia and the British ... More
Alison Bradley Projects presents Yuki Tawada's first US solo exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Alison Bradley Projects is presenting Yuki Tawada, the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States, featuring representative works from her oeuvre. The exhibition reveals Tawada’s sustained engagement with interrogating the myths of photographic objectivity while exploring the medium's potential. Through burning, piercing, cutting, transferring, and accumulating, Tawada challenges the photograph's assumed stability, treating the image as a material site where memory can be created, changed, released, and questioned. The exhibition coincides with Tawada’s inclusion in I’m So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now, a major retrospective of Japanese photography that gathers over 200 works by women artists from postwar Japan to today, on view this fall at the International Center ...

Martos Gallery explores five decades of art by late iconoclast Dan Asher NEW YORK, NY.- Adventurer/ethnographer, whether on the streets of the East Village or far afield—South America, Asia, Antarctica—a painter, photographer, sculptor, an obsessive draftsman, the artist Dan Asher (1947-2010) was a true force of nature. He possessed a restless energy, an elevated intelligence, well-read, well-traveled, always searching. An iconoclast, a mischief-maker, at times insistently impolite, the sort of figure today’s professionalized art world can’t easily accommodate, he slipped in and out of various scenes to which he was magnetically attracted. He could be alternately chaotic and hyper-focused, compulsive and meditative, all these dualities in the balance, and which also describe his art over five decades. He never conformed to anyone else’s idea of what he should do, how he should behave, or followed a predictable path that ... More
Heidi Horten Collection presents major Elisabeth von Samsonow retrospective VIENNA.- For the first time, this retrospective brings together nearly five decades of the artistic oeuvre of the German-Austrian artist and philosopher Elisabeth von Samsonow (b. 1956). Including many newly exhibited works, it presents the breadth of her practice alongside the philosophical thinking that has developed with it. Working across sculpture, painting, drawing, performance, and writing, and extending her practice into collective projects, Samsonow interweaves art, philosophy, feminist thought, pedagogy, and, increasingly, ecological engagement in a distinctive, vivid artistic language. Since Samsonow began working in wood in 1990, sculpture has been central to her practice. Carved from entire tree trunks, these works are life-size or larger; their painted surfaces broaden the sculptural form into the realm of painting. Samsonow’s sculptural vocabulary ... More
Fondation Pernod Ricard releases major dual-language anthology celebrating 40 TextWork critical essays PARIS.- Since its inception in 2017, the TextWork programme has created a distinctive space for dialogue between writing and contemporary art practices. Developed by the Fondation Pernod Ricard with the support of the French Ministry of Culture, it is grounded in a shared ambition: to strengthen the international visibility of the French art scene by treating critical thought as a vital form of support for artists. TextWork brings together artists working in France and writers from abroad, fostering exchanges that result in substantial critical essays. More than an editorial project, it supports artists by offering sustained attention to their practices at a particular moment in their career. Today, the first 40 texts of the programme, presented in English and French, form the foundation of an expanding archive—a mirror of a scene in constant reinvention. Together, ... More
U-Haul installation in Chelsea brings Nobuhira Narumi solo show to West 22nd Street NEW YORK, NY.- The word for “moving” in Greek is “metaphora.” During three days, 20 U-Haul moving trucks will occupy West 22nd Street in Chelsea: a metaphor in action! For its first participation in the fair, Bienvenu Steinberg & C will present The Dog Run, the first U.S. solo presentation by Japanese artist Nobuhira Narumi. Narumi’s paintings begin with a simple question: what happens to the visible world when the human point of view is no longer its measure? The Dog Run starts with a passage toward a zone where the distinctions between body and environment, figure and ground, seeing and sensing begin to loosen. Drawing on his experiences with dogs and their owners across different countries and environments, Narumi turns familiar scenes into shifting fields of proximity, scent, memory, and attention. The painter becomes animal not by mimicking ... More
Nasher Sculpture Center presents Bruce Nauman's first Texas museum exhibition DALLAS, TX.- The Nasher Sculpture Center announces Bruce Nauman: Identical, an exhibition of recent sculptures and drawings depicting animal forms that build upon the artist’s long-term investigation of his own role as an artist and his daily practice in the studio. The show will be on view from September 19, 2026–March 21, 2027 and is Nauman’s first exhibition organized by a Texas museum. For over six decades, Bruce Nauman (American, b. 1941) has worked in a stunning range of media, from video, film, and sound, to neon, wax, and performance. His earliest works took his own body as subject matter, resulting in body casts and repetitive actions recorded on video. He has produced monumental sculptures using commonly found building materials, videos that explore violence, aggression, and comedy, neons that display philosophical aphorisms and sexual ... More
