PORTLAND, ME.-Moss Galleries presents Abolitionists: Cartography of Resistance and Disobedience, a powerful new exhibition by artist and filmmaker Billy Gérard Frank. On view through May 23, the exhibition brings together a series of mixed-media works and a single-channel film installation that reframe abolition not as a closed chapter of the 19th century, but as an ongoing and unfinished struggle shaping the present. “Billy Gérard Frank’s work asks us to sit with history not as something resolved, but as something still unfolding,” said gallery owner Elizabeth Moss. “These pieces are visually arresting, but more importantly, they are intellectually and emotionally urgent. They challenge us to consider how the legacies of abolition continue to shape our world today.” Rendered on wood panels, fabric, and canvas using natural indigo pigments, black ink, and gold, Frank’s works function as layered material palimpsests—surfaces where hi ...

PARIS.- From April 15 to August 16, 2026, the Fondation Louis Vuitton will celebrate the centenary of Alexander Calder’s (1898–1976) arrival in France in 1926 and fifty years since his death with a retrospective that explores all facets of his oeuvre. Calder. Rêver en Équilibre* spans half a century of creation, from the late 1920s and the first staging of the artist’s Cirque Calder performances that captivated the Parisian avant-garde, to the monumental sculptures that redefined public art in the 1960s and 1970s. At the Fondation Louis Vuitton, Calder’s mobiles—floating within Frank Gehry’s architecture—transform the exhibition into a choreographed dance. One of the most important exhibitions ever dedicated to Alexander Calder, Calder. Rêver ... More

NEW YORK, NY.- Flávia Ventura (b. 1991, Belo Horizonte, Brazil) develops a practice that investigates the body as a mutable device for sensorial experimentation, proposing shifts in discourse and agency in relation to sexuality, gender, power, and violence. They hold a BA in Fine Arts, with a specialization in painting, from Escola Guignard (UEMG). Their work proposes the creation of fictional narratives that exist between reality and fantasy, engaging with abstraction to construct body-mental landscapes through painting and its expansive possibilities. Based on the observation and critical reinterpretation of hegemonic pornography, their research is situated within a critique of the “male gaze,” proposing shifts in regimes of visibility surrounding the eroticization of bodies and challenging normative imaginaries of sexuality through the symbolic, physical, and psychic reconfiguration of penetration. By articulating bodies, nature, and technology, their investigation expands into inorganic ... More
VENICE.- In his controversial 1999 lecture and later essay “Rules for the Human Park: A Response to Heidegger’s Letter on Humanism,” Peter Sloterdijk views cultures and civilisations as “anthropogenic greenhouses”, governed through domestication, training, control, and various “programs of social gardening”. Within this boxed, anthropic life, there is no space for vitality, naturalness or transformation. Siniša Radulović’s multimedia installation Out of the Blue, I’m Swept Away (2026) creates a lower, “basement-like”, moulded zone and an upper, ethereal, fluid zone filled with images. In the “subterranean” sphere, the artist begins from the floorplan of his own living space as a matrix that he multiplies into an architectural pattern that expands progressively into a claustrophobic, unpoetic, denaturalised and depersonalised, almost dystopian space. The artist applies the mechanics and logic of this “mass ornament&# ... More

Towards, 2026. Color on canvas, 162 x 130,5 cm / 63.8 x 51.3 in,
MILAN.- kaufmann repetto announces Towards, Bohie Kim’s first Italian solo exhibition, opening on April 15th in Milan. One of Korea’s most esteemed landscape painters, her vividly chromatic compositions synthesize a breadth of influences, merging Oriental and Western traditions. At the core of Kim’s radiant paintings are the exuberant forms of the natural world, infused with evocative visual and spiritual qualities. Kim was initially trained in East Asian painting, employing ink-wash techniques on hanji, the traditional Korean mulberry paper. Gradually she started to incorporate also Western mediums such as canvas and acrylics, developing a hybrid style for her depictions of landscapes, still-lifes and human figures. After earning both her BFA and MFA from Ewha Womans University, she served as a professor in the same department until 2017 and she is now professor emerita at the university. In the early 2000s, the artist set up home ... More
Vian Sora, Morphing, 2023, Acrylic and oil on canvas, 182.88 x 170.18 cm.
HOUSTON, TX.- Vian Sora (b. 1976, Baghdad) creates dazzling, layered abstractions that channel the turbulence of life, ancient Mesopotamian history, and Iraq's diverse natural landscapes — including its deserts, rivers, and archeological sites. Outerworlds — her first solo museum exhibition in the United States — surveys a decade of her most vibrant work, charting her transformation into one of today's most distinctive voices in painting. The exhibition will open with a reception on April 15 from 6–8 p.m., and remain on view through August 2, 2026. Sora's practice emerges directly from lived experience. Having grown up amid the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the U.S. invasion of Iraq, she witnessed the devastation of her homeland firsthand. She later left Baghdad, sought refugee status for her family in the United Arab Emirates, and then eventually resettled in Louisville, Kentucky. In 2016, Sora realized she needed to use abstraction to process the tumultuous events of her lif ... More

Anastasiya Tarasenko The Nursery, 2026, oil on linen, 14 x 12 in (35.6 x 30.5 cm)
NEW YORK.- Anna Zorina Gallery announced the Anastasiya Tarasenko solo exhibition, Primordial Soup. Through referring to the elemental conditions from which life is believed to have first emerged, Tarasenko’s latest paintings portray a space where origin and undoing coincide. These latest works stem from the trauma following a near-death experience caused by an ectopic pregnancy. In the aftermath, the artist describes feeling estranged from her own body, unmoored and unstable, as if subject to forces beyond her control. These works trace the gradual reclamation of agency, identity, and embodiment. Tarasenko presents the ocean as a central metaphor, evoking hormonal flux, emotional instability and the powerful capacity to both generate and destroy. Within this setting, a small female figure repeats across vast seascapes, riding waves, plunging into turbulent waters, or suspended between ascent and descent. This multiplication suggests both a loss of singular control and an unexpected expansio ... More
VIENNA.- From 15 April, the MAK dedicates a solo exhibition to Barbara Pflaum (1912–2002), a pioneer of Austrian press photography, in the MAK Works on Paper Room. With her extraordinary powers of observation and outstanding sense of form, Pflaum counts among the trailblazers of Austrian photojournalism in the 1950s. For over two decades, she helped shape the visual style of the Austrian weekly magazine Wochenpresse. Aged 40, divorced and a mother of three, Pflaum began studying at Vienna’s Academy of Applied Arts (now the University of Applied Arts Vienna) where she discovered photography and devoted herself to it with passion from then on. The exhibition at the MAK shows more than 100 photographs from the late 1950s and early 1960s, revealing an aspect of her work as yet little known: thoughtful, often humorous observations of everyday life in Vienna. Pflaum received her first camera from her then-partner, the traveler, writer, and photographer Herbert Tichy in the early 1950s. At f ... More
DUBLIN.- The Irish Museum of Modern Art and the National Transport Authority, under its Transport for Ireland brand, announced a new partnership that will bring an inspiring mobile artwork directly into the daily journeys of Dubliners.

Each day, thousands of passengers and many more who see the bus along the network will encounter art in a fresh and unexpected way. This collaboration makes contemporary art a visible and accessible part of the city’s daily movement, reaching communit ... More
VIENNA.- To this day, the unproductive opposition between painting and conceptualism as two eternal adversaries in a mythical antagonism between painted/“bad” art market art and conceptually safeguarded/“good” exhibition art continues to have an effect. All the more surprising, then, is how much the debate over the pros and cons of painting—which reached its peak around 1980 with “wild” or “neo-expressionist” painting—still affects artists today who had only marginal involvement with that specific historical constellation. The works created between 1981 and 1990 by Stano Filko (1937–2015), which are the focus of this exhibition, are also often labeled “neo-expressionist” in their reception. In fact, these works—especially his installation Love of Ontology(1982), presented at documenta 7—are frequently placed directly in the context of the then-emerging “wild painting” as it was especially promoted by the Neue W ...

Frist Art Museum presents prismatic site-specific installation by Gabriel Dawe NASHVILLE, TENN.- The Frist Art Museum presents Plexus No. 47, a new long-term installation by artist Gabriel Dawe. The vast suspended work is the latest in the Frist’s Art in the Atrium series and will be on view in the space from April 15, 2026 through April 30, 2028. Gabriel Dawe (b. 1973) was born in Mexico City and is now based in Dallas. He works with various media and is known for the large, site-specific installations in his Plexus series. Plexus No. 47 is composed of long arrangements of colored threads zigzagging across the atrium like refracted beams of light. Like other works in Dawe’s Plexus series, this installation is rooted in the science of optics. It evokes the spectrum of hues that occurs as light is dispersed by a glass prism or when a rainbow forms after a storm. “Illuminated by the clerestory windows above, these threads are so close together that they may seem to blend in the eyes of the beholder, appearing as a colorful mist,” says Frist Art Museum Chief Cura ...
