NEW YORK, NY.- This fall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art will unveil a new suite of sculptures by Liu Wei (born 1972, Beijing, China) in the niches of its Fifth Avenue facade, marking the artist’s first major project in the United States and The Met’s first presentation of a commissioned work by an artist from China since 2006. Widely recognized for his ambitious sculptures and installations that examine processes of transformation, urbanization, and social change, Liu will create four monumental works that respond to both the Museum’s architecture and the encyclopedic scope of its collection. Through a dynamic visual language of assemblage and reconfiguration, the project explores the continual reshaping of historical and contemporary experience through rupture and healing.

BIRMINGHAM, AL.- The Birmingham Museum of Art presents Wall to Wall: Christopher Myers, the fifth installment of the Museum’s ongoing Wall to Wall series. Created specifically for the BMA, the monumental installation, The Slow Can Beat the Quick, by New York-based artist and writer Christopher Myers transforms the Museum’s lobby with a work inspired by Birmingham’s histories of steel, labor, and land. “With the first textile installation commissioned for Wall to Wall, Christopher Myers demonstrates how textiles can hold history, memory, and identity, and his work transforms the Museum's main lobby into a space that is monumental but also intimate, and deeply connected to Birmingham's past and present,” says Jade Powers, Hugh Kaul Curator of Contemporary Art. Grounded in storytelling, Myers’s multidisciplinary practice explores the space between history and ... More

EDINBURGH.- Coinciding with the 2026 Edinburgh Art Festival, Ingleby presents its next ‘Instalment' in the gallery’s Feast Room, with the Chilean painter Sebasti醤 Espejo. Stepping into Espejo’s studio, currently located on the edge of an industrial estate in Northeast London, is a surprising experience. Despite a slightly dispiriting approach, past industrial bakeries and a recycling centre, the studio itself emits a friendly glow. There is a smell of cedar, the sound of Tropic醠ia, and the taste of nuts and dark chocolate figs offered from a traditional Chilean woven basket. Sebasti醤 brews herbal tea and gestures to a seat, it's a haven in the thick of London’s urban sprawl. Looking around the studio, it’s clear that Sebastian is a collector. Occupying every surface are objects that have travelled with the artist from other times and places - loyal companions as he calls them “...characters in a miniature theatre of light. They are a constellation in a world of var ... More

BERN.- The Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting a major retrospective devoted to Franz Gertsch, bringing together around 40 paintings that trace more than six decades of work by one of Switzerland’s most influential postwar artists. Franz Gertsch. Blow-Up (Part I) opens on August 14, 2026, and remains on view through January 17, 2027. A second part of the retrospective will open at the Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf on September 19. Gertsch, who died in 2022 at the age of 92, became internationally known for monumental paintings that occupy an unusual territory between photographic precision and painterly abstraction. Developed by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in close collaboration with the artist and his family, Blow-Up was subsequently shown at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg. Its presentation in Switzerland has been divided between the Kunstmuseum Bern, which focuses exclusively on painting, and the Museum Franz Gertsch, which will include paintings, woodcuts and works ...

COLUMBIA, SC.- The Columbia Museum of Art presents featured exhibition Body Matters, on view August 22, 2026, through January 3, 2027. Organized by the CMA, this exclusive exhibition explores the reciprocal relationship between craft objects and the people who make and use them. Opening day festivities include a Member Morning as well as an afternoon conversation between CMA Curator Sad Ayorinde and featured artist Judy Moonelis. The human body is essential to craft. This genre of art is rooted in physical labor, tactile knowledge, and material intimacy, and the resulting pieces are often intended to protect bodies or to assist in nourishing them. Building on that foundation, this exhibition presents works made of such materials as wood, ceramics, glass, textiles, and sweetgrass, and foregrounds their bodily resonance in terms of method- ...

NEW YORK, NY.- Drawing is the most elemental act in art. Long before an idea becomes a painting, sculpture, installation, or performance, it often first emerges as a mark on paper—a line searching for form. Foundational works of drawing are often where the most intimate moments with an artist begin, offering a unique window into their minds where subjects are depicted out of instinct rather than obligation. In celebration of drawing, Shin Gallery is presenting The Enduring Line, a collaborative, thought-provoking exhibition on view from August 1st to September 26, 2026. Presenting works by artists whose approaches to drawing are as diverse as their histories, this exhibition brings the physical emergence of ideas to the forefront of the artistic conversation. From the incisive observations of Honor Daumier to the lyrical abstractions ... More

Film Forum to host US theatrical premiere of Paula Gonz醠ez-Nasser's The Scout NEW YORK, NY.- Film Forum will present the U.S. theatrical premiere of Paula Gonz醠ez-Nasser’s The Scout on Friday, September 25. Director Gonz醠ez-Nasser spent six years working as a location scout. In this luminous directorial debut, she brings us into a day in the life of a young scout tasked with finding the perfect interiors for a television pilot. Sof韆 (Mimi Davila) moves in and out of other people’s intimate spaces and quotidian lives, tweaking her personality just enough to connect while struggling to find balance between her professional and personal worlds. With a mounting stack of parking tickets and the impertinent commentaries of her crew, she faces a series of small-yet-paralyzing obstacles that render her day increasingly exhausting. Through a constellation of quiet but poignant vignettes, the film offers an original view into the invisible ... More

Forest Lawn Museum highlights relationship between Walt Disney and Hubert Eaton GLENDALE, CA.- Forest Lawn Museum proudly presents “California Visionaries: The Lives and Legacies of Walt Disney and Hubert Eaton.” The exhibition is the first to explore the personal and creative relationship between Walt Disney and Forest Lawn Memorial-Parks founder Hubert Eaton, highlighting the philosophical and artistic parallels that shaped their respective legacies and the iconic parks they created. More than mere businessmen, Disney and Eaton traveled similar paths from Missouri to California, opening organizations that are deeply woven into the fabric of American culture.

Disney passed away a few months later and is interred, like Eaton, at Forest Lawn- ... More
Building an Audience: Timothy Hawkinson Gallery announces an exhibition of works by Brad Eberhard LOS ANGELES, CA.- Can art be fully realized in a vacuum, alone? Is an audience required to complete the circuit, to define and prove its existence? While frequently made alone, there is so often the intention to communicate something personal to others. To bridge a gap and connect. Brad Eberhard has been making paintings and ceramic sculptures that are complex in their construction and intimately scaled, hovering between abstraction to figuration. The compositional rhythms of shapes and colors, as well as the emergence of representational content, grow intuitively. The works are adjacent to self-portraiture, in their revelations of Eberhard’s unique constellations of visual associations. They open brief glimpses into an internal library of accumulated ideas assembled over a lifetime. The contexts and connotations influencing how he sees the world unfold. Allusions ... More
Dolby Chadwick Gallery to present solo exhibition by Ian Kimmerly SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery will present Some Quieter Melody, an exhibition of recent paintings by San Francisco–based artist Ian Kimmerly, on view throughout September. Confident brushstrokes, constellations of color, and figures rendered through fragments and repetition converge in Kimmerly's latest works, creating mesmerizing, layered compositions whose meanings emerge over time. Kimmerly holds a sustained interest in the intricacies of human connection. A thread of intimate, familiar, and evocative depictions can be traced throughout his practice. In this body of work, he shifts his lens to the ruptures in our bonds, caused by economic and political systems that benefit from division, and to the meaning and beauty we create from our increasing fragmentation. The exhibition title quotes Polish writer and activist Olga Tokarczuk. ... More

VeneKlasen to host Raphaela Simon's first New York solo show in eight years NEW YORK, NY.- VeneKlasen, New York, will present Raphaela Simon: On the Street, the artist's first solo exhibition in New York in over eight years, featuring a selection of recent paintings and sculptures. Inspired by the urban landscape, the works in the exhibition reflect Simon's ongoing engagement with the city—particularly Berlin, where she lives and works. Reducing her subjects to basic geometric forms, stripes, and broad planes of color, Simon distills familiar urban motifs to the point of near illegibility. Her paintings and fabric sculptures alike hover between abstraction and representation, never fully resolving into either. In her fabric sculptures, Simon translates the layered surfaces and fragmented imagery of her paintings into soft, three-dimensional forms, emphasizing the tension between flatness and volume. Across both mediums, familiar ... More
Alexander Gray Associates announces tribute exhibition to sculptor Melvin Edwards NEW YORK, NY.- Alexander Gray Associates presents People Make Art: A Tribute to Melvin Edwards, an exhibition that explores the life and practice of the acclaimed sculptor through the work of fifteen artists who knew him. Rather than attempting to define the full scope of Edwards’s (b.1937, Houston, TX; d.2026, Baltimore, MD) artistic community, the show traces one constellation within a far larger universe of relationships, illuminating the generosity, curiosity, and spirit of exchange that animated his work for more than six decades. Featuring paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from 1954 to 2024, People Make Art reflects the extraordinary breadth of Edwards’s artistic engagement and the enduring vitality of his artistic community. The exhibition takes its title from one of Edwards’s characteristically direct observations: “Art doesn't make art, people make art.” The remark ... More
Sullivan+Strumpf announce representation of Atong Atem SYDNEY.- Sullivan+Strumpf announced their representation of South Sudanese Australian artist Atong Atem, known for her richly staged images that explore photography as a space where history, memory, performance and imagination converge. Drawing on Dinka philosophy, African studio photography, family archives and diverse spiritual and visual traditions, Atem (b.1991), reimagines portraiture as a site of self-determination, where inherited histories are continually reconfigured rather than simply preserved. The announcement comes at a significant juncture in Atom’s career, with her first-ever major institutional solo exhibition, Passage: The Art of Atong Atem, set to open at the National Gallery of Victoria 30 October 2026 until 14 June 2027; premiering new works alongside a comprehensive survey of the past decade of the artist’s practice.
