BASEL.- The Chinese artist Cao Fei (b. 1978, Guangzhou, lives in Beijing) is one of the defining voices of her generation, working across video, digital media, photography, installation, and sculpture. The artist’s works capture the rapid changes that have shaped China, and the Pearl River Delta in particular, since the country’s 1978 policy of Reform and Opening up. For Cao Fei: Testimonies to the Near Future, her first solo exhibition in Switzerland and largest survey exhibition in Europe to date, the artist transforms the Kunstmuseum Basel | Gegenwart into a total work of art that takes the form of a city blending immersive installations and video universes from her oeuvre of the past thirty years. Cao Fei’s achievement as a pioneering creator of digital worlds is uncontested. Her early works have influenced an entire generation of artists from Asia and beyond. For over two decades, she has made art—from video installations and digital simulations to virtual-reality sett ... More

Installation view, Dan Flavin: Grids, David Zwirner, New York, January 15–February 21, 2026. Courtesy David Zwirner.
HONG.- David Zwirner opened an exhibition of works by Dan Flavin featuring the artist’s grids, a key body of work that he began in 1976. The first focused examination of this form, this presentation includes several re-creations of the way Flavin installed the grids in significant exhibitions during his lifetime, and features loans from important public collections as well as the Estate of Dan Flavin. A version of this exhibition was on view at David Zwirner New York in January–February 2026, and the presentation in Hong Kong is the first solo exhibition of the artist’s work in Greater China. From 1963, when he conceived the diagonal of May 25, 1963 (to Constantin Brancusi), a single gold fluorescent lamp installed diagonally on a wall, until his death in 1996, Flavin produced a singularly consistent and prodigious body of work that utilized commercially available fluorescent lamps to create ...

Javier Calleja, Curiously, 2026. Acrylic on canvas, 230 x 195 x 4 cm, 90 1/2 x 77 x 1 1/2 in (unframed) 233.5 x 198.5 x 8 cm, 92 x 78 x 3 in (framed).
PARIS.-Almine Rech Paris, Turenne is presenting 'CURIOUSLY', Javier Calleja's sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from May 30 to July 25, 2026. “I’m not a revolutionary artist, I’m an evolutionary artist,” Javier Calleja says, without hesitation. He’s right: if contemporary art was born and came of age amid the cradle of a revolutionary aesthetic — always defining itself against the dominant aesthetic — it is possible that in the twenty-first century things have shifted somewhat, or that they, too, have simply evolved. His work does not carry the charge of aesthetic, stylistic, or structural revolution. What it offers instead is the excitement of perpetual evolution within the framework he has defined and the system he has built. That system summons a cast of characters whose ancestors live in comics — he mentions Francisco Ibáñez Talavera (1936–2023) in particular — and in th ... More
NEW YORK, NY.-A precious volume showcasing the most exquisite Japanese bamboo baskets from the Naej Collection, whose pieces range from the seventeenth century to today. Basketry is one of Japan’s oldest art forms. Since the eighth century, meticulously woven bamboo baskets have served daily functions, first in Buddhist liturgy and later in the tea ceremony. Over the past two centuries, bamboo art has risen to the status of fine art, with leading makers creating coveted works for ikebana and, more recently, sculptural objects celebrated as contemporary art. This elegant, richly illustrated volume presents over 160 baskets, highlighting their spectacular silhouettes and exquisite details—from complex weaving patterns and refined signatures to intricately plaited undersides. Informative captions reveal the techniques of an art now enjoying renewed attention, as bamboo offers a durable and ecological alternative to disposable materials. Mos ... More
Clark Winter, Romance, 1971. Gelatin silver print, 38 x 24.7 inch / 96.4 x 62.9 cm.
COLOGNE.- Zander Galerie is presenting the first solo exhibition of photographs by Clark Winter in Germany. The selection of black-and-white images, focusing mainly on the 1970s and a few later works, ranges from fleeting glances and gestures to everyday objects and specific atmospheres of place. Whether observing the particularities of urban and rural environments in 1970s America or the slow-paced rhythms of Southern European life, Winter’s photographs articulate a perceptive form of open-ended visual storytelling. Clark Winter’s approach is observational and receptive. The artist is alert to the human theater in front of him, familiar with the shapes of vernacular architecture, sensitive to the lyrical quality inherent in his pictures, and conscious of the traditions of his medium. Influences from Walker Evans, Lee Friedlander, and others from the generation of American photographers who preceded him can be traced throughout his work. Above all, the images celebrate the visual exper ... More
EDINBURGH.- A lost portrait of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, by the renowned artist Sir Henry Raeburn has been found after over 200 years. The painting is on public display for the first time. It is available to view free of charge at National Galleries Scotland: National, on the Mound in Edinburgh. The painting of Robert Burns was found during a house clearance in Surrey and consigned to auction in Wimbledon, London in March 2025. With a starting price of between £300─£500, the winning bid was £68,000. A triumph against all the odds, Dr William (Bill) Zachs, Director of Blackie House Library and Museum in Edinburgh and long-term Burns scholar and enthusiast, understood the potential significance of the painting and purchased the portrait believing it could be the elusive missing artwork. The painting has since been cleaned, and examined by experts, who confirm that it is, indeed, the lost Raeburn portrait. ... More
Gokula Stoffel, Epiphany, 2026. Wool felting and cotton strings on jute, 22 x 16.5 x 1 inches, 56 x 42 x 2.5 cm.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- François Ghebaly is presenting Gokula Stoffel’s exhibition Spell, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. The exhibition’s title, Spell, holds within it the possibility of fascination: to be under a spell is to be in thrall to something outside of oneself. For Stoffel, fascination becomes a working method, as she crafts her cross-disciplinary works intuitively, responding to the immediate, sensuous qualities of her materials. The act of artmaking becomes a way for Stoffel to access an altered consciousness, one which is both more present and more open. The idea of alternative forms of consciousness returns as subject matter in the works on view in Spell. The spectral figures that emerge out of Stoffel’s layered compositions engage in music, ritual, and solitary epiphany. At times, these figures merge with the natural environment, demonstrating the porous boundary between our individual selves and a wider, shared world. This porousness extends to Stoffel& ... More

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY.- The Tang Museum at Skidmore College presents Pursuing Possibilities: Explorations in Glaze, a student-curated exhibition featuring works from the Tang collection that explore the expressive possibilities of ceramic glaze. The exhibition will be on view May 30 through September 12 in the Tang’s Winter Gallery. Organized by Emily Lin ’26, the 2025–26 Charina Endowment Fund Endowed Intern, Pursuing Possibilities examines how the chemical composition of glazes affects the visual outcome of ceramic works. Presenting a range of glazing effects alongside varied surface textures and firing techniques, the exhibition considers the relationship between scientific experimentation and artistic exploration in ceramics—and how chemistry can help drive an artist’s vision. Glaze is a mixture of water and powdered chemical compounds, including silica, flux, ... More
Deborah Lynn Irmas is a Los Angeles based visual artist whose practice is informed by the large part that textiles played in her childhood.

Sander’s works often rely on the participation of exhibition visitors and on ideas about the influence of time and place on our self-image and appearance.
Karin Sander lives and works in Berlin, but over the past thirty years she has spent considerable time in Iceland and used the country as a subject in many of her works. Karin Sander 1957–2057 is a comprehensive exhibition of Sander’s work, which is presented in collaboration with the Reykjavík Arts Festival. The show features pieces spanning the artist’s entire career and offers insight into the work of an international conceptual artist who engages with our environment and existence in unexpected and impactful ways. Sander’s works often rely on the participation of exhibition visitors and on ideas about the influence of time and place on our self-image and appearance. One of the exhibition’s most extensive pieces is Visitors 1:8. It is technically complex and develops over the course of the exhibition through the participation of guests.

Mercedes-Benz Art Collection presents POWER LINES BUDAPEST.- Set within a former transformer station in Budapest—once built to power the city’s industrial expansion and now a place of cultural production—the exhibition POWER LINES brings works from the Mercedes-Benz Art Collection into dialogue with artistic positions from Hungary and across Central and Eastern Europe. The show explores how infrastructures of industry, energy, labour, and mobility continue to shape living conditions and environments. POWER LINES reflects on the transformations that have reshaped the Budapest region over recent decades. Industrial production, logistical networks, and technological systems have generated opportunities, defined aesthetics, and created new forms of mobility. At the same time, they have embedded territories and communities within complex infrastructures of dependence. Over 30 participating artists ... More
Silverlens Manila launches Martha Atienza's climate showcase alongside 'Collectors Plus' retrospective MANILA.- Opening today, Saturday, 30 May 2026, Silverlens Manila presents The Coconut Tree Methodology, a new exhibition of works by Martha Atienza. The show will remain on view through 11 July 2026. For Martha Atienza, that world is anchored to the Bantayan Islands in Cebu, where the Dutch-Filipino artist was in part raised, bearing witness to coastlines being transformed by rising sea levels: a fact that Atienza has diligently documented as a central facet of her award-winning transdisciplinary practice. Highlighting that shift is footage the artist filmed in 2026 of a seawall built along the same stretch of coastline she shot in 2019, when fallen coconut trees peppered an open shore, their roots shaken loose by rising sea levels and consequent coastal erosion. As Atienza notes, those coconut trees were the first to register the transformations being wrought by climate change. First they fell. Then, they were cast adrift, carrying traces of past attachments while bearing the weight of uncerta ... More
Esther Stocker opens major solo exhibition across two Paris galleries PARIS.- Galerie Alberta Pane is presenting Geometric Secrets, a solo exhibition by the Italian Austrian artist Esther Stocker, across its two Paris spaces from 29 May to 25 July 2026. An internationally renowned artist, she has exhibited her work in major museums, galleries, and foundations, and has collaborated on several occasions with the worlds of fashion and design, extending her artistic practice across numerous media and fields of expression. The visual language she has developed is grounded in rigorous geometric structures that unfold through painting, sculpture, and installation mediums that are deeply interconnected. Her installations function as three dimensional projections of her paintings, conceived exclusively in black, grey, and white. Heir to Geometric Abstraction, the Gruppo T, and the Op Art movement of the 1960s, Esther Stocker continues to explore optical vision and spatial perception through a contemporary and socially engaged approach influenced by new technologies. At f ... More
Kunsthalle Friart Fribourg opens major immersive exhibition by Jason Dodge FRIBOURG.- What we see: an orchestrated chaos of tipped-out silver, yarn, bird food, plastic buckets, vitamin supplements, pollen, sawdust, cables, and other things. It seems as if the placement of the objects was done incidentally. Residues of all kinds have collected in the rooms, like flotsam washed onto a shore by the water. It remains unclear whether all of this was done deliberately or, instead, through idleness and negligence. Can one really be distinguished from the other, if we accept that a form arises not only through active doing but also through passive activity—by receiving things and letting them happen? Life shows us that the events that transpire are far more than a simple chain of cause and effect. At times, it seems as if things fall into place in their own mysterious way. In this exhibition, it is sometimes no more than a gust of wind from an open door that rearranges the things on display, just as our mere physical presence causes the sculptural configuration within the ...

Pop surrealist Camille Rose Garcia unveils new dystopian novella and exhibition at KP Projects LOS ANGELES, CA.- For more than two decades, Camille Rose Garcia has built a universe entirely her own, emerging as one of the defining female voices of Los Angeles’ Lowbrow and Pop Surrealism movement with a painterly language that fused gothic fairy tales, environmental collapse, punk romanticism, and radical imagination into richly layered worlds filled with acid color, ornate decay, political subtext, and emotional storytelling. Her works have long existed somewhere between painting and literature: part hallucination, part cautionary tale, part fragile act of hope. Now, with The Orphaned Nihilist Hospital for Dolls, Garcia returns to one of the deepest roots of her practice: storytelling as world building. Part exhibition, part literary universe, the project centers around Garcia’s new six part serial graphic novella, a surreal dystopian fairy tale set in the war-ravaged world of Greater Batvia, where imagination has been outlawed and dolls are treated as dangerous relics of emotional life ...

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft opens site-specific installation by Jeff Forster HOUSTON, TX.- Houston Center for Contemporary Craft is presenting Sanctuary for Salvage, a site-specific installation by ceramic artist Jeff Forster. Working with reclaimed clay, glaze waste, and kiln debris, Forster constructs monumental columns that evoke historical ruins, rituals, and a sense of the sacred. Echoing totems, the columns of sacral architecture, and Japanese torii gates found in various spiritual spaces, Forster meditates on the symbolic and spiritual weight these pillars carry. By transforming materials like Styrofoam packaging into molds for his clay sculptures and reusing glaze waste, the artist’s process engages with themes of geological time and harnesses the unpredictable energy released during the firing process. A longtime friend and collaborator with Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Forster is an alumnus of HCCC’s Artist Residency Program and is the founding organizer of Ceramics in the Environment, an annual garden exhibition initiated in 2015, in partnershi ...
