BOSTON, MASS.- This fall at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age explores the reigns of three celebrated rulers who used the power of images to forge enduring legacies. Hatshepsut—one of a handful of women who attained supreme power in ancient Egypt—has only recently been recognized as one of its greatest pharaohs. Amenhotep III ruled during a time of great prosperity, when Egypt was at the height of its power. His son and successor, Akhenaten, shook up religious norms to worship a single deity represented by the sun. Maverick Kings explores these visionary 18th-Dynasty rulers’ lives and legacies through the dramatic art they commissioned and the words they left behind. The exhibition features nearly 100 objects drawn from the MFA’s extensive collection of ancient Egyptian art. Each work—acquired by the Museum between 1875 and 2024 through archaeological excavations, gifts from private collectors, or purchases ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- In the Chemical Alphabet paintings, Rita Ackermann takes on a new source of vocabulary: letters from a Semitic alphabet. The structure of each symbol serves as an anchor for each composition. The configuration of the letter, painted in acrylic green chalkboard paint on a canvas primed by multiple silkscreen prints, allows the surface to be built through Ackermann’s chalkboard method: layers of pastel and chalk drawings are erased, washed away, and redrawn until multiple states of the painting coexist on the canvas. Here, the picture advances through accumulation and erasure. At the center of this constructive destruction, the letter remains, its meaning shifting with the evolving image around it. What stays visible is not the frozen image but the chronicle of its becoming. Not as easy as 1, 2, 3... If you define something, ... More
Hugo Ruyant.
PARIS.- There is always, in Hugo Ruyant’s painting, a slight displacement. Nothing is demonstrative. Everything is a matter of thresholds. The forms remain recognisable, yet their apparent certainty begins to waver. The symbol is never simply stated. It emerges, almost imperceptibly. Colour structures this space of uncertainty. It does not accompany the subject; it transforms it. It generates its own force, a kind of mental light that distances the motifs from any descriptive reading. The history of painting is present throughout, but as a foundation, a substratum. It nourishes the gaze without ever imposing itself as quotation. Pastoral Melody unfolds within this logic of displacement. The pastoral motif belongs to the great narratives of Western painting. The shepherd leads, protects, gathers. The sheep follows. The lamb embodies innocence, sacrifice and redemption. For centuries, these figures have served to articulate ideas of order and the organisation of the world. ... More
ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber will present The Case is Altered or Die Sache ist anders, the gallery’s fifth solo exhibition by the British-American artist Liam Gillick. Liam Gillick’s Mirrored Image: A Volvo Bar, first performed at the Kunstverein Munich in 2007, was later presented at the 21er Haus in Vienna and the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn in 2010. This short performance takes place in a bar next to a Volvo factory, where workers gather to boast about their expertise in building cars. A pivotal moment occurs when a curator arrives from the local museum, asking for help. The director is in the middle of a crisis and is trapped inside the building permanently. The workers mobilize to rescue culture. All of this is witnessed by a protagonist who has miraculously appeared on the day of his own birth to experience a parallel crisis – one of time, identity, memory and loss. The title of this exhibition is borrowed from the 1609 production of the same ... More

BERLIN.- Buchmann Galerie will present an exhibition of works by Jim Butler as part of Berlin Art Week 2026. The exhibition brings together more than a dozen small-scale, intimate paintings that Jim Butler has created the past five years in the northern New England region of the United States. They are deeply considered pictures, evoking complex emotions through a focused sense of place unique in clarity and distinct realism. The process of plein-air painting is central to Butler’s practice and critical to the viewer’s experience of the work. Each painting is made believable through nuances of light and air that define how things feel to the touch. Importantly Butler, who grew up in this region, links his immersive perceptual encounters simultaneously with an interior world of association and memory. The results are paintings that chronicle not only his life, but also touch universally felt aspects of our larger common psyche’s need to feel ... More
They have been acquired by the Ministry of Culture throughout 2024, 2025, and 2026 for a total amount of more than 990,000 euros.
MADRID.- The Museo Arqueológico Nacional in Madrid has added 239 coins of exceptional historical significance to its collection of Andalusi numismatics, strengthening a holding that already ranks as the most comprehensive of its kind in the world. Acquired by Spain's Ministry of Culture over the course of 2024, 2025 and 2026, the coins all come from the Tonegawa Collection and span virtually the entire history of al-Andalus, from the eighth through the fifteenth century. The Ministry said it invested €988,126 in the acquisitions, which were made through a series of auctions. Among the most important pieces are coins known through only a handful of surviving examples—or, in some cases, unique specimens. Highlights include a gold dobla issued under Boabdil that records his complete genealogy and the first dirham struck in al-Andalus after it emerged as an independent political entity. ... More
Portrait by Hélène Pambrun, 2023.
BRUSSELS.- Xavier Hufkens will present a major exhibition of new work by Tatiana Trouvé, her first solo exhibition in Brussels. Occupying three levels of the gallery, The Auxiliaries unfolds through an ever-expanding practice encompassing sculpture, drawing, and installation. Trouvé’s works inhabit an intermediate zone where multiple realities coexist, each interlinked within a practice that is both generative and regenerative. ‘All the elements that make up worlds connected to each other through affinities, echoes, reminiscences, and how these liaisons map out a shared wandering, without origin or end, in a completely open ecosystem’, Tatiana Trouvé notes. The exhibition opens with L’Inventario [The Inventory] (2026), a provisional-looking shelving structure resembling cardboard cast in aluminium. Combining still-life compositions with empty shelves, the installation alludes to the artist’s storage and the studio as a place of transformation, where objects ... More
WINTERTHUR.- Jutta Koether’s oeuvre was called a large-scale attempt to “create a counternarrative to the canon of modern painting” in the recent exhibition Tour de Madame at the Museum Brandhorst in Munich. In fact, the German artist, who was born in Cologne in 1958 and is now based in New York and Berlin, has significantly shaped the cultural landscape since the 1980s. In addition to her work as a painter, performance artist, and musician, she is also an editor and publisher of the magazine SPEX who has written countless reviews for journals such as Texte zur Kunst. Koether began painting in the 1980s in the circle of Neoexpressionist artists in Cologne. In this period, after years of Conceptualism, there was a return to painting under the motto “Hungry for Painting” all over the world, in movements such as the Neue Wilde (the New Wild Ones) and Transavanguardia. Similar to the world of painting in general, the development was dominated by men, who often ... More
PERPIGNAN.- Visa pour l’Image has announced the winners of its 2026 awards, with this year’s honors spanning some of the most urgent stories in contemporary photojournalism, from war and displacement in Syria and Gaza to political upheaval in Madagascar, changing forms of intimacy in Japan and social exclusion in France.

Selected from entries submitted by 24 newspapers, the work ... More
Kexin Hao, 'Diaphragm of Air Affairs' from the series Anatomy of Obstruction, 2026.
AMSTERDAM.- What if an institution had a body? In the seventh edition of Post/No/Bills, artist Kexin Hao transforms the corridor surrounding the Stedelijk’s historic staircase into exactly that: a body. For this site-specific installation, its niches are filled with hand-drawn murals of intestines, lungs, liver, stomach and kidneys, rendered larger than life. The organs become metaphors for institutional systems of filtration, regulation and legitimation, while bodily disorders give form to resistance and dissent. Moving from organ to organ, visitors trace how power is constructed and obstructed. Hao has long been drawn to the overlap between organisations and organisms, and between how institutions and bodies function. She begins by hand, creating anatomical drawings and diagrams before scaling them up to fill the niches of the corridor. The sequence opens at the anus, presented as Rebuttal from Within. Whether this functions ... More
BRUSSELS.- In the archives of Naples: ledgers and lists of tribute. Rows of numbers recording, over four hundred years, the wealth extracted from invaded lands — unpaid labour on ranches and haciendas, and in mines; in the building of houses, mills, ships and warehouses; timber, stone and lime; turquoise, amber and crystal; maize, cacao, cotton and rubber; and gold, the tribute of choice after the invasion, demanded of tens of thousands of people. Added together, these tributes formed the final sums transferred to a family in Naples, who always demanded more — more land, more tribute, more hours of unpaid labour. It was not until the early twentieth century, as revenues began to decline, that a member of that family wrote to ask what the land and its people were like. Xico, in the State of Mexico, is one of the places that were forced to pay tribute to them for centuries. It is in the face of this centuries-long silence that Maria Thereza Alves asks: How does one begin a dialogue in the ... More
Aubrey Levinthal, Tub Ledge, 2026 Oil on panel, 61 x 45.7 cm.
BERLIN.- On the occasion of this year’s Berlin Art Week, the exhibition From the Sleep Side presents a cross-generational and transcontinental survey of three artists, placing contemporary figurative painting in a historical dialogue. It focuses on new works by the US American artist Aubrey Levinthal (b. 1986) whose recent paintings are placed in a direct visual and thematic relationship with works by Biala (Janice Biala, 1903—2000) and Tal R (b. 1967), both of whom serve as significant points of reference and sources of inspiration for Levinthal. The poet Anne Carson once described a disorienting dream about entering her living room at night to find all the lights on. Nothing was wrong, everything was in its usual place, »and yet it was utterly, certainly, different«. Later, she explains the strangeness of the dream to herself by deciding that she must have »caught the living room sleeping. I had entered it from the sleep side«. In this selection of paintings by Aubrey ... More
FRANKFURT.- Museum für Moderne Kunst will present Essence of Life, the first institutional solo exhibition by Sudanese artist Amel Bashier, on view at ZOLLAMT MMK from September 12, 2026, through January 10, 2027. Drawing deeply from her own experiences in Sudan and observations of global struggles, Bashier places women at the center of her practice as symbols of strength, resilience, and hope. Through vibrant, stylized figures that evoke ancient Nubian and Assyrian forms, her paintings depict women both individually and in community—capturing their tenderness, endurance, and vital role as creators of life and keepers of memory in the face of hardship and injustice. “For me, the woman represents the essence of life. She is a symbol of strength, resilience, memory, and generosity. After the early loss of my father, growing up I witnessed in my mother and my sisters the power and endurance of women. Later, through my observations of the wars and social struggles in Sudan, ... More

C24 Gallery presents Fırat Neziroğlu exhibition In Between NEW YORK, NY.- C24 Gallery presents In Between, an exhibition of works by Fırat Neziroğlu that approaches weaving not simply as a material practice, but as a language; one through which memory, emotion, identity, and lived experience are recorded, preserved, and transmitted. At the heart of Neziroğlu’s practice lies the ambition to forge a universal language, synthesizing the traditional motifs and symbolic vocabulary of the Anatolian kilim with his own innovative techniques. Historically, these motifs have served as a semiotic vessel for complex human conditions ranging from love and protection to separation and hope. Rather than approaching these textiles as decorative forms, Neziroğlu understands them as repositories of lived experience. Throughout In Between, this ancestral visual lexicon intersects with the technological frameworks that mediate ... More
Zanele Muholi marks twenty years of Faces and Phases at Galerie Ron Mandos AMSTERDAM.- Galerie Ron Mandos will present Hlanganani (“Unite”), a new exhibition by South African visual activist Prof. Sir Zanele Muholi, opening Saturday 12 September 2026. Presented together with the Muholi Art Institute, the exhibition marks twenty years since Muholi began Faces and Phases and brings together self-portraits, recent paintings, and a new body of Faces and Phases portraits made with Amsterdam’s Black queer community.

Arts Council Malta presents first-ever pavilion at Gwangju Biennale GWANGJU.- Arts Council Malta presents BEJN / IN-BETWEEN, Malta’s first-ever participation in the Gwangju Biennale, bringing together Norbert Francis Attard, PONKS (Sam Alekksandra & Julien Vinet), and Michael Quinton as the BEJN Kollettiva. Developed through a three-month residency in Gwangju, the project unfolds across Horanggasy as a site-specific constellation of installation, poetry, sound, performance, and moving image. BEJN—the Maltese word for “between”—takes the in-between as both a physical and conceptual condition: a space of tension, dialogue, transformation, and possibility. Connecting Malta and South Korea, two cultures geographically distant yet shaped by strong relationships to ritual, community, and collective memory, the pavilion asks what can emerge when distinct histories and forms are placed alongside one another without being ...

French gallery presents survey of American artist James Howell PARIS.- The James Howell Foundation and Bigaignon present A Quiet Measure of Light, the first solo exhibition in France devoted to American artist James Howell (1935–2014). Bringing together paintings and drawings from Howell’s Series 10, the exhibition examines a question that sustained his practice for decades: how much difference is necessary for something to become visible? A Quiet Measure of Light is structured around this threshold of visibility. Working within exceptionally narrow tonal ranges, Howell used repetition and controlled variation to test the point at which one value separates from another, a surface begins to shift, or an apparently continuous field becomes internally differentiated. His images resist immediate apprehension; their structure emerges through changes in light, distance, position, and duration. Seen together, the works reveal reduction ... More
Exhibition documents the history of Canada's longest-running Indian Residential School TORONTO.- This September, the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) will host a powerful exhibition documenting the history and lasting impacts of the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, the longest-running Indian Residential School in Canada. Developed by the Survivors’ Secretariat, Stolen Childhoods – which opens on September 8 and runs until October 1, 2026 – explores over 140 years of history through an interactive installation featuring archival records, photographs, video interviews with Survivors, and a digital timeline. “The exhibition gives the people of Canada an opportunity to listen, learn, and understand the truth from those who lived it,” says Wilma Snake, Survivor of the Mohawk Institute. Stolen Childhoods examines the history of the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School, located in Brantford, Ont. Established in 1828 by the New ... More
Conference explores the digital survival of Indigenous languages in the age of AI MEXICO CITY.- As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in everyday communication, researchers are warning that many Indigenous languages of the Americas risk being left behind by a digital revolution largely built around the world's dominant languages. That disparity was at the center of a recent conference organized by Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, or INAH, where academic Manuel Mager Hois examined both the technological obstacles facing Indigenous languages and the ethical questions surrounding their incorporation into artificial intelligence systems. The lecture, titled Advances and Challenges for the Digital Survival of Native Languages of the American Continent, was presented on September 2, 2026, as part of INAH's Permanent Seminar on Social Sciences and Digital Humanities.

Vardaxoglou presents Tropical Ken solo exhibition by Turner Prize nominee Tanoa Sasraku LONDON.- Vardaxoglou will present Tropical Ken, a new solo exhibition by current Turner Prize nominee Tanoa Sasraku. It is Sasraku’s third solo exhibition with the gallery and coincides with the Turner Prize 2026 exhibition on view at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA). Tanoa Sasraku’s Tropical Ken is a series of new sculptures exploring the relationship between tropical leisure, militarism and colonial memory. Drawing on Mattel’s 1980s Ken dolls and the propagandistic ‘Army Ken’ released during the 1992 Gulf War, Sasraku brings together the visual languages of military uniform, tropical kitsch and Western adventurism. Disassembled combat clothing worn in conflicts across Vietnam, the Middle East and Afghanistan is translated into layered newsprint torsos, their camouflage patterns ‘tanned’ onto the paper using a domestic tanning ...
