BOLOGNA.- John Giorno (New York, 1936–2019) was a magnetic poet and performer who knew how to transform words into art. From February 5 to May 3, 2026, MAMbo - Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, a division of the Settore Musei Civici of Comune di Bologna, is presenting John Giorno: The Performative Word, curated by Lorenzo Balbi. Held in the Sala delle Ciminiere, this is the first major institutional retrospective celebrating one of the most radical and visionary figures in contemporary culture. John Giorno was a key figure in the avant-garde New York scene. A poet, artist and activist, he tore down the boundaries between disciplines, turning poetry into a living body capable of inhabiting unexpected places. His friendships and collaborations with major figures of that era, including Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, William Burroughs, John Cage, and Patti Smith, as well as his establishment of ... More

Cohen in honor of her father Emanuel Cohen and Patrons' Permanent Fund. “It is a momentous occasion to bring Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy into the National Gallery’s collection as our first notable example of Artemisia Gentileschi’s remarkable work ...

Memo Akten & Katie Hofstadter, still from The Thinking Ocean, 2026.
NEW YORK, NY.- The Whitney Museum of American Art launches The Thinking Ocean, a digital art project by Memo Akten and Katie Hofstadter commissioned for artport, the Museum’s online gallery space for Internet art. Part of the artists’ Cosmosapience series, this project simulates a natural body of water that shifts between fluid dynamics and computational code. With The Thinking Ocean, Akten and Hofstadter explore the ways society grants agency to machines that mimic humanlike behavioral patterns, while overlooking the complex computations that similarly unfold in nature. The Thinking Ocean situates viewers in an environment procedurally constructed with rule-based algorithms. The environment is fluid, dissolving into abstraction, and morphing into patterns that evoke biological cell structures, circuitry, and code. The shift between fluid behavior and computation uncovers that oceans and computers are governed by the same underlying logic, each serving as systems that carry, store, and tran ... More

PUEBLA.- Archaeologists working in the mountains of northeastern Puebla are literally uncovering the past beneath the streets of a modern town. Since December 2025, specialists from Mexico’s Ministry of Culture, through the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), have been carrying out an archaeological salvage project in Xiutetelco, where public works unexpectedly revealed the remains of a large pre-Hispanic city hidden for centuries below the current urban center. What today appears to be a quiet municipality once covered nearly 28 hectares and played a far more prominent role in regional history. The architectural platforms recently identified suggest the presence of an extensive ceremonial precinct that also served as a strategic node for long-distance trade, linking Xiutetelco to powerful Mesoamerican centers such as Teotihuacan and Tula. The archaeological intervention began as a preventive measure during ... More

NEW YORK, NY.-WAIL is the first book devoted exclusively to the creators of the pioneering album cover design of Prestige Records, home to such musical giants as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, and John Coltrane. Unprecedented in detail, WAIL documents a vital decade of creative brilliance and is a crucial contribution to graphic design history.

Inspired by some of the most significant music ever recorded, Prestige album covers are a compelling panorama of midcentury graphic design, and WAIL tracks the evolution of Prestige’s visual identity through the personal stories of the people who shaped it.

NEW YORK, NY.- Perrotin New York is presenting Phantom Tales, an exhibition of new paintings and drawings by Japanese artist ob. Belonging to a generation that grew up immersed in online worlds, ob’s work explores how imagination can blur and merge with reality.
In ob’s paintings, familiar objects become tangible representations of intangible ideas—time, emotion, and memory. Her hazy atmospheres are in contrast with rigid forms, such as smartphones or toys, creating a feeling akin to a lucid dream. Inspired by nui-dori, a Japanese hobby of taking photos of stuffed toys in everyday life, the objects in her paintings carry their own stories. Globally recognizable icons that have transcended cultural and generational boundaries—Pikachu, Hello Kitty, Kirby—become symbols of the emotional nourishment that can be drawn ... More
BRUSSELS.- From 6 February to 14 June 2026, Bozar presents the first exhibition in Belgium of the Singaporean artist Ho Tzu Nyen. The internationally renowned artist explores big questions in his ambitious artworks that bring together deep research, popular visual culture, and new technology. From documentary research to fantasy, his work combines archival images, animation and film in installations that are often immersive and theatrical. For Bozar, Ho Tzu Nyen is creating a new work titled P for Power, which builds upon his earlier work The Critical Dictionnary of Southeast Asia. At a moment in which the notion of power is being challenged and reconsidered, not least in the light of worldwide challenges to democracy but also in relation to developments in AI, his work dares to face pressing political and philosophical issues head-on. Two other large-scale installations are presented at Bozar and map out the artist’s vision. T for Time (2023) is a one-h ... More
Bruno Munari, Machina Inutile, 1956.
NEW YORK, NY.- kaufmann repetto is presenting Macchine Inutili (Useless Machines) 1934-1987, a solo exhibition dedicated to Bruno Munari’s transdisciplinary and unconventional practice, with a focus on his iconic, self-propelled mobiles. Bruno Munari (1907-1998) was a visionary pioneer who traversed freely art, design, graphic, education, always in tune with the major artistic movements of the 20th century. Since the outset he was interested in new processes of production and the exploration of innovative artistic media and languages. Stimulated by the experimentation of the avant-gardes — from Futurism to the Bauhaus and Neoplasticism — he started to challenge the static character of painting and sculpture. Since the early 1930s, he tackled the concept of abstractionism in space with his Useless Machines. Designed with minimal forms and a limited use of color, these devices employ light and shadow to produce abstract shapes on the walls of the environment. The dynamic encounter betwee ... More
This is the second solo show of photographs by Philippe Garner at Hamiltons.
LONDON.- The exhibition comprises vibrant colour images taken between 2000 and 2018 in New York – ‘the American city that has proved my most frequent and insistent subject’, says Garner – and Summer Still Lifes taken in the south of France in the summers of 1983 and 1984, presented for the first time in the gallery. Garner took his first US pictures in October 1973 in Richmond, Virginia. In 1976, he made his first pictures in Miami, then in 1977 in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. ‘Like others of my generation,’ he explains, ‘I was inspired by an idea of this vast country, an idea fuelled by the movies, music, magazines, TV, radical art, and certain strands of literature. I nurtured my version of the American Dream and have endeavoured through half a century to fix traces of that fiction in my open-ended portfolio of pictures. Countless trips later, I have accumulated an extensive memory-bank of images that distil all that has delighted my eye in this crazy land. Mi ... More

The Contemporary Dayton presents Gretchen Durst Jacobs: What the Body Carries DAYTON, OH.- The Contemporary Dayton is presenting Gretchen Durst Jacobs: What the Body Carries, our latest Member’s Spotlight Exhibition that celebrates the vibrant creativity of our local and regional artist community. The exhibition features new work by Dayton-based artist Gretchen Durst Jacobs, presenting a body of encaustic monotypes that merge painting and printmaking to explore how experience is physically and emotionally held. Emanating from the body, the works use gesture, scale, and repetition to translate sensation, memory, and movement into abstract form. Throughout the exhibition, intuition and structure exist in dynamic balance, with grids often functioning as quiet frameworks that hold tension, rhythm, and emotional weight. Each encaustic monotype is created through a process that uses hot wax and pigment transferred onto a surface, resulting in a singular, ... More
Pitseolak Qimirpik's Pop-Inuit fusion debuts at Fort Gansevoort NEW YORK, NY.- Beginning February 5, 2026, Fort Gansevoort will present Shapeshifter, its first exhibition with Pitseolak Qimirpik highlighting the Canadian Inuk artist’s vibrant graphic art and quirky tabletop sculptures. Characterized by energetic combinations of color and patterns, Qimirpik’s expressive drawings of Arctic wildlife and composite animal and human figures embody a playful and irreverent spirit. His complementary small stone carvings marry Western pop culture with traditional Inuit visual motifs. Fort Gansevoort’s exhibition marks the gallery’s third collaboration with the West Baffin Cooperative in Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset), Nunavut—an artist collective renowned for its exceptional drawings, carvings, and printmaking. Founded in 1959 to support artmaking as an economic engine for the region, the cooperative is a vital creative hub for acclaimed ... More
Thaddeus Mosley's rare glass sculptures debut at Karma NEW YORK, NY.- Between 2010 and 2013, sculptor Thaddeus Mosley, who has worked almost exclusively with wood since the 1950s, began experimenting with glass. Using fragments he collected forty years earlier from an abandoned bottle factory, the artist combined pieces of varying textures, colors, and shapes into an array of small-scale sculptures that are at once foils and companions to his often-monumental carved-wood sculptures. In both media, Mosley works with the inherent properties of the material rather than against them. Polished and molded by the elements and time, the fragments Mosley joined together each have their own unique character. The artist’s fusion of weather-buffed rounds into rhizomatic forms lends the sculptures an organic quality: one section branches out from the next as if its growth were inevitable; smaller clusters evoke barnacles ...

New group show explores stillness as a collective condition NEW YORK, NY.- Peter Blum Gallery is presenting in relation to stillness, a group exhibition curated by Auttrianna Ward of new and recent works by Abigail Lucien, Manuel Mathieu, Malcolm Peacock, Tadáskía, and Sarah Zapata. The exhibition is on view through March 27, 2026. The exhibition, in relation to stillness, is a presentation of works that do not ask us to define stillness, but to consider our relation to it. Here, stillness is felt in the labor of the work itself—through repetition, boundary, refusal, and intention. It is a way of working that resists immediacy without retreating from meaning. While the artists in this exhibition move across different materials and lineages, their practices share a commitment to duration, material patience, and time taken rather than time granted. Across sculpture, textile, painting, and drawing, the works center processes that unfold slowly and deliberately. ... More
New commissions by Mel O'Callaghan and Frances Barrett turn Sydney Opera House into a living work of art SYDNEY.- The Sydney Opera House today announced Art on the Steps, two major new commissions by leading Australian artists Mel O'Callaghan and Frances Barrett. Their creations will be unveiled on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 April, when the Opera House’s Monumental Steps will be transformed offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the power of the human voice. For Mel O'Callaghan’s Live Echo, four large tuning forks stand tall on the Monumental Steps as 300 singers from Sydney Philharmonia Choirs perform a composition based on the harmonic frequencies of the Opera House itself. For Frances Barrett’s Celia, seven vocalist-improvisors gather below the steps for an intimate meditation on extinction and loss. Both works, free for visitors, reimagine the possibilities of this celebrated civic space. Sydney Opera House Director of Programming, Brenna ... More

For me, splitting ice is a physical, sensitive, and engaging act: a way of exploring the tension between our body and the frozen landscape in a world that has been shaken by climate change. Snow, ice, thaw, blizzards, dormant or turbulent waters... water in all of its states becomes ... More

Beyond monochrome: Davide Balliano debuts first works in color at Tina Kim Gallery NEW YORK, NY.- Tina Kim Gallery announced Abacus, an exhibition featuring new paintings and works on paper by New York-based artist Davide Balliano (b. 1983, Turin, Italy). On view from February 5 through March 7, 2026, the exhibition marks Balliano’s fifth solo presentation with the gallery and a significant moment in the evolution of his practice, with the debut of works in color and new series of gouaches on paper. Long defined by his monochrome palette, Balliano has for the first time introduced shades of red and ochre into his signature geometric paintings, reflecting his ongoing exploration of the tension between order and organic flux. The arches and curves that anchor his compositions, as well as the newly introduced earthy hues, explore the idea of entropic decay and the passage of time while also drawing parallels with the architectural landscape of the artist’s native ...
