STOCKHOLM.- The latter part of Pablo Picasso’s artistic career burns with intensity. In the exhibition “Late Picasso”, visitors encounter a collection of seemingly contradictory and idiosyncratic works created when the artist was in his late eighties. Working tirelessly, Picasso revisited themes and motifs from his own past as well as from the broader traditions of European painting. Once dismissed by critics and overlooked by scholars, these late works gained renewed relevance in the 1980s, when a younger generation of painters embraced their expressive gestures and untamed vitality. “Late Picasso” is the first major presentation of Pablo Picasso at Moderna Museet in over thirty years. Here, the artist appears in his final decade – from 1963 until his death in 1973 – when painting had come to embody an unrelenting process of inquiry rather than the transgressive force of his youth. ...

NEW YORK, NY.- This hugely revealing journey through the mind and memory of one of architecture’s great poets is told in Tadao Ando’s own words. A very personal volume, it traces five decades of prolific creativity, gathering over 750 sketches, models, and technical drawings that reveal the essence of his practice. From the raw immediacy of pencil lines to the precision of technical drawings, witness the evolution of many of his most famous projects— among them Row House in Sumiyoshi, Rokko Housing, Chichu Art Museum, Bourse de Commerce—not as isolated moments of inspiration, but as living architectural projects, shaped by time, travel, and reflection. More than a monograph, this is a map of Ando’s inner landscape. He remembers light of a stone monastery in southern France, the deep spatial resonance of a stepwell in Ahmedabad, and the labyrinthine mystery of cave dwellings in Cappadocia. ... More
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Yoko Ono, the visionary artist, musician, and activist whose work has shaped contemporary culture for more than seven decades, will be celebrated at The Broad in Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind, the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in Southern California, organized in collaboration with Tate Modern, London. In spring 2026, visitors will be invited to directly participate in many of Ono’s works that transform simple acts into expressions of peace and connection. The Broad’s olive trees on East West Bank Plaza will become Wish Trees for Los Angeles, a key installation (first realized in 1996 at Shoshana Wayne Gallery, Santa Monica) inviting audiences to tie their own wishes to the tree branches in a living expression of hope in Los Angeles. The exhibition will be on view May 23 through October 11, 2026. “For more than seven decades, Yoko Ono has expanded the possibilities of art as a force for ... More
SHANGHAI.- The Power Station of Art (PSA), Shanghai, presents Home and Beyond, the inaugural chapter of Hou Hanru’s long-term curatorial series Making Places – Hou Hanru’s Curatorial Journey, as an integral part of the opening of the Museum’s third-floor Espace Gabrielle Chanel. Taking the library space as both a site of contemplation and a laboratory, the exhibition initiates an extended research project on artistic creation, cultural circulation, and imagination of the globalised world. Making Places revisits the fundamental question of what curating entails: curating is not only the fabrication of exhibitions, but, more importantly, the creation of conditions that allow art to emerge, provoking encounters and generating energies among art, society, and history. Throughout this process, the conception, production, and presentation of art become interwoven, forming an open and continuously unfolding structure—a sensitive space where the public may access the artist’ ...

NEW YORK, NY.- At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans’ predilection for wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneurs to cater to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s, attention-grabbing buildings began to appear that would draw in passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal. The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside buildings as “monstrosities”. Yet, they flourished, especially along America’s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as proprietors indulged their creative impulses in the form of giant, eccentric constructions — from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years, California’s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity, and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of buildings, California Crazy. Brimming with the best e ... More
WEIL AM RHEIN.- For more than thirty years, Hella Jongerius has been one of the leading figures in contemporary design. Her pioneering work spans textiles, ceramics, furniture, and lighting, as well as sculptural pieces. This exhibition is the first retrospective to present the full scope of the Dutch designer’s oeuvre, including her collaborations with Maharam, KLM, Camper, and Vitra. Since 2024, the archive of her design studio JongeriusLab has been housed at the Vitra Design Museum. The objects and documents it contains offer insights into Jongerius’ working methods, her multi-layered thinking, her passion for craft processes, and her deep engagement with materiality and the symbolism of objects. Her interest in craftsmanship and colour is always accompanied by critical reflection on her own practice and on the role of design in today’s society. The exhibition catalogue also includes a detailed documentation of the Jongerius Archive at the Vitra Design Museum. Geoffrey Bawa (1910 ... More
MIAMI, FLA.- A major survey for American painter Joyce Pensato (1941–2019) opened at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, bringing together some 65 works across five decades, including rarely seen works from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. Marking the artist’s most comprehensive museum survey to date, the exhibition traces the development of Pensato’s practice, providing greater understanding of the artist’s context and the range of her powerful imagery. Pensato is recognized for combining the historical strategies of gestural abstraction with the iconic quality of pop art in ways that complicate the legacies of both styles. Her best known works are dynamic canvases, rendered primarily with energetic and exuberant layers of black and white, silver and gold enamel. However, her output was exponentially more wide-ranging, since all materials Pensato came across became part of her artistic world, ... More
Kristi Kongi, Details from Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow - Magenta, Yellow and Crimson, 2024. Oil on canvas, 35 3/8 x 27 5/8 in. 89.9 x 70.1 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Friedrichs Pontone will present Memories of Elsewhere, a dual exhibition featuring works by Park Jieun and Kristi Kongi. Memories of Elsewhere represents the melancholic feelings of transitory phases of life– when our subconscious seamlessly presents us with fleeting images of places from before. The brain conceives our memories in a duality: the physical, in which one recalls their observations through compositional means, and the emotional, where evocations of the past exist as suggestive forms that represent the emotional associations with physical places. Both inspired by physical places, Park Jieun and Kristi Kongi turn inward to their own subconscious emotions to represent the fleeting melancholic moments of their memory; posing physical landscapes as requiems for solitude, joy, or as personal reflections. Kristi Kongi is an Estonian artist that roots herself in a formal exploration of light, color, and ... More

COPENHAGEN.- Frieda Toranzo Jaeger employs painting as a tool for collective, critical liberation from binary thinking and systems of power. At the center of Toranzo Jaeger’s exhibition at Den Frie is a suspended work composed of interlinked panels, making it at once a painting, a sculpture, and a stage. Painted on both sides, the work reflects on the interconnections between capitalism, technology, and visions of the future. Toranzo Jaeger depicts metaphors of humanity’s ambition to master nature and conquer the universe through science. Her works examine the friction between humans and machines, rationality and desire, a tension heightened today by social media and artificial intelligence. What happens when our autonomy is absorbed by technology and returns to us in an alienated form? By deconstructing techno-utopian dreams, the paintings unfold alternative visions of the future, carried by queer desire and freed from the shadows of colonialism. Frieda Toranzo Jaeger (b. 1988) lives and ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- "We can not measure things that don't exist, and things past and future don't exist." But how do we measure present time since it has no extension? It is measured while it passes, but when it has passed it is not measured; for then there is nothing that could be measured. But whence, and how, and whither does it pass while it is being measured? Whence, but from the future? Which way, save through the present? Whither, but into the past? Therefore, from what is not yet, through what has no length, it passes into what is now no longer. But what do we measure, unless it is a time of some length? For we cannot speak of single, and double, and triple, and equal, and all the other ways in which we speak of time, except in terms of the length of the periods of time. But in what "length," then, do we measure passing time? Is it in the future, from which it passes over? But what does not yet exist cannot be measured. Or, is it in the present, through which it passes? But what has no length we c ... More
TRONDHEIM.- With textile-covered dinosaurs and digitally manipulated photographs, Sandra Mujinga explores stories of both the past and the future, addressing questions of solidarity, identity and vulnerability. Sandra Mujinga (b. 1989, Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo) is one of the most significant Norwegian artists working today. Drawing on science fiction, her practice explores the possibilities of creating new speculative fictions and worlds where other forms of life might exist. This exhibition highlights some of the artist’s most recent works. Silent Flight (2025) was originally comissioned for PoMo’s opening exhibition Postcards From the Future and depicts a twin pair of dinosaur-like sculptures. Their massive scale reminds us of the small role humans have played within nature from an archaeological perspective. At the same time, the fragile construction points to the endangered position of animals in our own time. The newly acquired 2090 (2023) ... More
Jin Mustafa, Currents Cast in Time: Collected Sounds of Borås, 2025.
BORÅS.- Borås has now marked an important milestone in its cultural landscape with the inauguration of its first permanent sound artwork. On December 4, Currents Cast in Time: Collected Sounds of Borås by sound artist and musician Jin Mustafa was officially unveiled in Viskan Park, beside Hallbergsbron in Stadsparken. Mustafa was present at the opening and spoke about both the work itself and her wider artistic practice, making the occasion a shared moment of listening and reflection for those in attendance. The installation is a site-specific work that brings together sculpture and sound. At its core are field recordings gathered across Borås, particularly along the river Viskan, which Mustafa transformed through digital processing into a layered sound composition. These sounds are paired with a sculptural form made of aluminum and fiberglass, designed as a place to sit and rest. Visitors are ... More

Laure Pigeon's spirit-guided drawings unveiled at the Collection de l'Art Brut LAUSANNE.- Laure Pigeon (1882–1965) started drawing at the age of 53, and her body of work was only discovered after her death. Her creations, saved from destruction, were subsequently acquired by Jean Dubuffet. The Collection de l’Art Brut likely holds the entirety of her output: a little over 400 drawings, many contained in notebooks, and produced over the course of 30 years. Like fellow spiritualist artists Madge Gill, Jeanne Tripier, Augustin Lesage and Raphaël Lonné, Pigeon believed that she had been “chosen” to convey messages from the beyond and claimed that her hands were guided by an outside entity. As a starting point for each piece, she would use a Ouija board to spell out the missive from the spirits letter by letter, relinquishing all control over what she was writing. Next, she would set the board aside and let her hand wander across the page of its ... More
Five years of the MQ Libelle: Leopold Museum celebrates Vienna's floating landmark VIENNA.- After more than twelve years of conception, planning and construction, the MQ Libelle on the roof of the Leopold Museum was inaugurated in 2020. It represents the first architectural addition to the MuseumsQuartier (MQ). 25 meters above street level, the viewing platform on the museum’s roof affords stunning views of Vienna’s inner city and the splendid buildings along the Ringstraße. The terrace landscape, for which the architects Laurids (*1941) and Manfred Ortner (*1943) cooperated with the internationally renowned artists Brigitte Kowanz (1957–2022) and Eva Schlegel (*1960), can be accessed for free, provides an event location and meeting place, and represents a widely visible landmark. “Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the inauguration of the MQ Libelle in 2020, the exhibition Kowanz. Ortner. Schlegel highlights the artistic intentions and congenial ... More
Remember the future: Anuar Khalifi's Third Act at The Third Line DUBAI.- Remember the Future is the third solo exhibition by Spanish-Moroccan artist Anuar Khalifi at the gallery. Bringing together a new body of large-scale paintings and works on paper, the exhibition constructs the complexities of the contemporary moment. The works move between reality and imagination and across different tenses in time, inviting viewers to partake in meaning-making with curiosity and childlike wonder. Marking an evolution in Khalifi’s practice, the works feature increasingly intricate and carefully composed settings expanding the pictorial field. Shaped by Khalifi’s sustained engagement with magical realism, art history, and poetry, the works in Remember the Future position painting as a space untethered from fixed boundaries; some paintings originate from scenes the artist has witnessed, while others are born from internal reflection. Rather than treating ... More
Timothy Taylor surveys James Bishop's formative decades NEW YORK, NY.- Timothy Taylor will present ‘To continue painting’: James Bishop and New York, an exhibition of paintings by James Bishop (1927–2021), curated by art historian Molly Warnock. On view in New York from 15 January through 28 February, the exhibition brings together eight paintings and eleven works on paper spanning ca. 1960 to 1987, a period of notable productivity, invention, and recognition for the artist. Presented only blocks from Bishop’s former Lispenard Street studio, the exhibition’s title is drawn from a grant application the artist submitted to the National Endowment of the Arts in 1973, in which he requested support, simply, “to continue painting.” This is the artist’s first solo presentation in New York in more than a decade. In conjunction with the exhibition, Warnock will be in conversation at the gallery with painters Amy Sillman and David Reed ... More

Documents of Injustice: New Nazi files reveal the systematic robbery of the Freud family NEW YORK, NY.- The Austrian Cultural Forum New York presents Documents of Injustice. The Case of Freud. After great success in Vienna, the exhibition travelled to Manhattan, where it will be on view until February 2026. The exhibition sheds light on the last months of the Freud family in Nazi Vienna and recounts the events of the following years. The systematic dispossession of Sigmund Freud and his brother Alexander is traced in detail, and new findings deepen the knowledge of the fate and murder of their four sisters, Rosa, Maria, Adolfine, and Pauline, by the Nazi regime. The Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna recently acquired previously unknown documents from the estate of the Nazi-appointed “provisional administrator” of the International Psychoanalytical Publishing House (owned by Sigmund and Anna Freud). These now form the central ... More
