KAUNAS.- M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art presents the exhibition Post-abstraction, featuring artworks by Barbara Kasten, an American artist of Lithuanian origin and one of the most prominent figures in contemporary abstraction. Barbara Kasten belongs to a generation of artists who expanded photography into a sphere of experimentation with space, light, and perception. Her studies in painting, sculpture, and textile art, as well as the ideas of the Bauhaus, Eastern European Constructivism, modernist and postmodernist architecture, grew into a significant foundation for her work. Featuring approximately 80 artworks, including photographs, sculptures, and installations, the exhibition spans nearly six decades of Kastens career (19712026). Here, light is not a means of illumination; it becomes the material itself. Mirrors, colour filters, and geometric forms create situations where boundaries between real and imagined space, seeing and perceiving, disappear. Barbara Kasten will be ... More

FAIRFIELD, CONN.- Fairfield University Art Museum will present Hieroglyphs to Hype: The Modern Afterlife of Ancient Egypt, on view from September 18 December 12, 2026, in the Museums Bellarmine Hall Galleries. This exhibition will explore the enduring fascination with ancient Egyptian art and culture (dubbed Egyptomania by 19th-century Europeans) through a selection of paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and decorative art ranging from the early 19th century through the present day. These objects, from the humble to the refined, from the shamelessly commercial to the Afrofuturist, represent the range of artistic responses toand misconceptions aboutancient Egyptian visual culture. Lenders to the exhibition include the Yale Center for British Art, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Hood Museum of Art, and Yale University Art Gallery, in addition to artists and private collectors. The exhibition is curated by Museum Registrar Megan Paqua, who explains that the idea for the show emerged from her othe ... More

LONDON.- The first institutional presentation in the UK dedicated to the work of Carla Accardi (1924 – 2014) will take place across the Estorick Collection, London, and Compton Verney, Warwickshire. Accardi was a radical figure, whose legacy is central to the narrative of 20th-century Italian art, yet her work remains largely unfamiliar to UK audiences. She was a founding member – and the only woman – of Forma 1, a Rome-based artistic group established in 1947 that brought together artists committed to bridging abstract art with Marxist thought in the aftermath of Fascism. Jules Schmalzigaug (1882–1917) was Belgium’s only Futurist. In 1912 he moved to Italy, where he fell in with leading figures of F. T. Marinetti’s circle. Two years later, his paintings featured in a major international Futurist exhibition in Rome. When the First World War broke out, he left Italy for the Netherlands, where he continued to develop a range of innovative painting techniques ... More
Power of the Margins uses a decentralized curatorial model inviting regional contemporary art partners to present work from their networks.
MILWAUKEE, WI.- Sculpture Milwaukee presents Power of the Margins, the organization’s tenth annual exhibition of free outdoor public art in the streets of downtown Milwaukee. Now on view, the 2026 exhibition celebrates the vitality of artistic communities working outside the major cultural capitals and the distinct creative strategies they develop as a result. Evolving out of conversations between Sculpture Milwaukee and a group of international curators and artists, the exhibit brings together seven works in various media by artists from the Baltics, Japan, and Milwaukee. John Riepenhoff, Sculpture Milwaukee’s executive director, noticed in his travels to international art fairs and curatorial exchange programs that some of the most arresting works were coming from so-called second cities with their own vibrant, artist-run art scenes. “The margin is where the most unguarded experimentation tends to happen, where necessity produces invention, and artists aren’t optimizing for insti ...

IKAST.- Udvidet slgtskab (Elective Affinities) examines relations, origins, and forms of belonging through a range of subjective positions, bringing together works that engage with themes of memory, colonial history, art-historical legacy, and identity. The exhibition presents works by ten contemporary artists, born between 1958 and 1990, alongside historical works by Pia Arke, Astrid Noack, and Eva Srensen. Here, the artists examine how personal, historical, and material connections are shaped and negotiated through experience, bodies, and materials. The curators, visual artists Peter Brandt, Selini Marie Halvadaki and Annarosa Kryer Holm, examine affinity through intergenerational and subjective positions. Affinity is understood as a form of chosen kinship in which connections arise through resonance. Here, affinity unfolds as a network of relations between artists, works, and narratives spanning time, bodies, and geographies. The exhibition takes its title from the American artist Hannah ... More
American Museum of Ceramic Art.
POMONA, CA.- The American Museum of Ceramic Art announces today its selection by the Perenchio Foundation for a multi-year General Operating Support Grant. The generous grant, in the amount of $1.2 million, distributed over three years, affirms AMOCA’s place as an essential cultural institution in Los Angeles County. AMOCA’s Executive Director Beth Ann Gertstein shares, “This landmark grant allows us to focus on the museum’s core mission — to champion the art, history, creation, and technology of ceramics through exhibitions, collections, outreach, and studio programming — and to thoughtfully build the infrastructure to continue carrying it forward. Such extraordinary support is a true vote of confidence in the power of ceramic art and its place in our community.” This multiyear unrestricted grant will support all aspects of the museum, including exhibitions, educational programming, collections, staffing, and more. AMOCA will set aside a substantial portion of t ... More
SAO PAULO.- Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel presents O homem nu [The naked man], the first comprehensive exhibition of Efrain Almeida’s work at the gallery since his passing. Bringing together works produced between 1995 and 2024, the exhibition offers a broad overview of his career and considers his practice through the relationships between the body, spirituality, and desire. Born in Boa Viagem, Cear, the artist developed a body of work deeply informed by the materials, craftsmanship, and cultural traditions of the Cariri region, working across sculpture, installation, painting, embroidery, and watercolor. Spanning nearly three decades, his practice brought together distinct geographies, beliefs, identities, and material traditions through a visual language in which wood, fabric, bronze, and paper become supports for intimate, resonant forms. The exhibition centers on Almeida’s sculptures, alongside watercolors, oil paintings, and embroidered works. Recurring motifs include human bodies ... More

LAUSANNE.- The Muse cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne will present French-Caribbean artist Lucas Erin’s solo exhibition La ronde, newly commissioned for its Project Space. Erin’s work revolves around installation, sculpture and sound. Interested in the notion of contact of which objects are the trace, attentive to the relationship between inside and out and the shifting boundary separating the two, the artist explores what unfolds or fails in an exchange. Questions of circulation and sharing are central to his thinking. His found objects and carefully manufactured sculptures contain both the threads of interwoven stories and clues to narratives in the making. Inspired by thinkers of creolisation, revisiting his Martinican heritage through the prism of his connection to the land and plants that grow there, the artist works by associations, reappropriations, and shifts that allow new possibilities to emerge in the exhibition space. The title of his exhibition—La ronde—conjures ... More

LONDON.- Island Records and EMI have unveiled a redesigned shared headquarters in King’s Cross, London, following an 18-month collaboration with Interesting Projects and Studio Eye, the labels’ in-house creative studio. Conceived as a hybrid between workplace and exhibition, the project brings together more than 70 historic and newly commissioned artworks, photography and ephemera spanning the cultural histories of both labels. Works by Annie Leibovitz, Thierry Noir, Jeremy Deller, Corbin Shaw, and Anton Corbijn are integrated throughout the space. Founded in Jamaica in 1959 by Chris Blackwell, Island Records built its identity on counterculture and global influence. EMI, established in London in 1931, became synonymous with British icons that transformed the music industry. Together, the labels represent artists including Bob Marley, The Beatles, U2, Grace Jones, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse and Lola Young. Located in the Pancras Square development, the office is designed ... More

BERLIN.- The Kurt Mhlenhaupt Museum in Berlin Kreuzberg will present the exhibition ‘Daily Magic’, which showcases a dialogue between two artists. The Israeli-born Berlin-based painter Amnon David Ar and the Berliner artist Kurt Mhlenhaupt belong to different generations and worlds, yet share the same fundamental artistic approach: an unvarnished, respectful view of human life in all its mundane detail. Amnon David Ar’s works, created through observation, are characterised by a surreal hyperrealism that deliberately draws the viewer’s gaze to the fringes of our awareness. The exhibition title ‘Daily Magic’ refers to Ar’s search for the sensuality and poetry of the everyday, the beauty of light and matter, the passing of time, and the personal relationship we have with our surroundings. Through playful works such as ‘Raven’ (an umbrella), ‘Ant Eater’ (a vacuum cleaner), ‘Bouquet’ (a rubbish bin), as well as depictions of toys, ch ... More
Nathan Beard, Mae Khong, 2026.
PARKES.- The judges stated that ‘this photograph of Nathan Beard’s aunt Mae Khong has an immediate and compelling emotional pull. Through its tight composition and simple colour palette interspersed with soft blue tones, combined with the vulnerability of a private yet familiar pose, the artist creates a portrait of palpable intimacy. Even though we can’t see the subject’s face, we are drawn into a connection with her, perhaps sensing the weight of her life experiences or recognising our own loved ones in this quietly captured moment. There is both resilience and fatigue legible in Mae’s posture. With water droplets still on her skin, this is a candid scene but it also speaks to the depth of familial connection between artist and subject.' Congratulations to Nathan, who has won $30,000 courtesy of the Gallery and photographic equipment valued at $20,000 courtesy of our Imaging Partner, Canon Australia. Congratulations to Phuong Nguyen Le, who has won the First Time Fina ... More

BERLIN.- In Kreuzberg: Kunst und Migration seit 1960 (Art and Migration since 1960), Gropius Bau showcases artistic responses to labour migration in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district since the 1960s. Bringing together some 130 works past and present, the exhibition explores experiences of migration, exile, housing crisis, racism and exclusion – as well as resistance, empowerment, solidarity and community. Nowhere were the social and cultural changes in West Germany more powerfully manifested than in Kreuzberg. Here, the transformations reshaping life in the Federal Republic through labour recruitment agreements with countries such as Italy, Greece and Turkey played out on a local scale. The exhibition focuses on artists who came to West Berlin in the 1970s and 1980s – whether on grants, to study or for political, economic or personal reasons. Their works address the core experiences of the so-called Gastarbeiter, or guest workers. Historical artworks – many long unseen or rarely e ... More

Berlinische Galerie presents Jeewi Lee: Residual Memories BERLIN.- The Berlinische Galerie presents Jeewi Lees first institutional solo exhibition in Berlin in conjunction with the GASAG Art Prize 2026. For her serial paintings, sculptures, site-specific installations, and interventions, the artist draws on simple, seemingly worthless materials where traces of time and transience are inscribed as memories. These traces are the starting point for her artistic research, where materials analysis blends with aspects of Taoist philosophy and personal mythology to create a visual universe that is poetic and meditative. Under the title Residual Memories, the recipient of the GASAG award makes use of sand, an apparently everyday material and yet one of global significance. Sand fuses minerals, rock, organic residues and, more recently, microplastics. It is found in concrete, glass, microchips and water filters and it forms the basis for our contemporary built environment, but its worldwide consumption as a resource has left it in increasingly short supply. ...

MoCP announces Snider Prize Award and Graham Foundation Grant CHICAGO, IL.- MoCP announced the 2026 Snider Prize Award recipient Khidr Joseph and honorable mentions Ashley Michelle Hannah and Nika McKagen. Khidr Joseph works in photography and sculpture to address personal and collective ways of remembering and honoring those who came before us. His Monuments We Carried Home series explores the stories of family members he never had the opportunity to know, including those who served in the military combat. Joseph creates staged self-portraits in which he wears a ghillie suit he crafted himself, with only small details of his body visible through the suit. He also creates still-life photographs featuring objects that represent items collected by his family members, which Joseph arranges and photographs in front of enlarged backdrops depicting historical still-life paintings to draw connections to memento mori and traditions of altar-making throughout art history. Joseph recently completed his MFA in photography at the School of the Art Instit ... More

Urbane Knste Ruhr presents Uncanny Shifts exhibition across Dortmund DORTMUND.- The main train station in Dortmund is used by 130,000 people every day. In Germany, if a city has more than 100,000 inhabitants, then it is considered to be a big city. This fictive city of the train station, north-west of the city centre, serves as a vibrant focal centre of the exhibition Uncanny Shifts by Urbane Knste Ruhr as part of this year’s Ruhrtriennale. In and around the train station, further art works are inscribed in specific buildings and their uses, housed in different types of architecture from various eras: from the Ev. Stadtkirche Sankt Petri from the 14th century, to the sociocultural centre Dietrich-Keuning-Haus constructed in 1982 on the northern side, to the Dortmund U, which was turned into an exhibition space in the former Union brewery for the cultural capital Ruhr.2010. The temporary use of vacancy in the Brckviertel draws attention to the old town district close to the station. Knstler*innenhaus Dortmund is taking part with an exhibition in its own spa ... More
Violeta Maya explores form and organic transformation in first show at NILS STÆRK COPENHAGEN.- What is it that compels matter to take form? In Codex Seraphinianus (1981), Luigi Serafini imagines a world in which plants, animals, and bodies exist in a constant state of transformation, resisting explanation as much as classification. Rather than offering a taxonomy of nature, Serafini proposes a universe in perpetual becoming. It is within this territory – where life exceeds definition and form remains in flux – that Violeta Maya situates Absoluto Estado de Proliferacin, her first solo exhibition at NILS STRK. Captivated by nature's continual process of creation, Maya explores the capacity of matter to sprout, multiply, and generate form. Across painting and sculpture, Absoluto Estado de Proliferacin (Absolute State of Proliferation) unfolds through forms suspended between the botanical, the corporeal, and the geological. Cavities, membranes, stems, swollen bodies, and flowing structures evoke seeds, organs, plants, landscapes, and bodies without ever resolving into a ... More
ROSEGALLERY to present works by Thala Gochez at Open House at The REEF LOS ANGELES, CA.- ROSEGALLERY will present a selection of works by Los Angeles–based artist Thala Gochez for Open House at The REEF Los Angeles on August 29, 2026. Shaped by her experience as the child of Salvadoran-Mexican immigrant parents, Gochez's photographs center on cultural identity, womanhood, and self-representation among Latinx women. For Gochez, a portrait begins long before the camera is raised — getting to know her subjects and building a genuine connection with them is as essential to her process as the image itself, and it is the subject, above all, who determines a project's creativity, location, and heartbeat. Working through a storytelling-driven, deliberately styled practice, she builds portraits and visual narratives set in homes, restaurants, and neighborhoods — environments that mirror who her subjects are and become extensions of the people within them. Self-taught, she first picked up a camera while attending community college in San Francisco, buying her first o ... More
Paula Siebra to open exhibition at Casa Iramaia SAO PAULO.- The rain falls in fine streaks: silvery dashes that strike the hot surface of the ceramic roof tiles, lined up in waves all the way to the eaves. Large drops hang from them and trickle down one after another in teardrop shapes, making a popping sound as they hit whatever they touch. Tr-t-t. Plic…plic. You can almost hear the sound of the patter and the dripping, which carries the message that the year begins wet. Nearby, on another canvas, pointed leaves overlap in several layers, some illuminated by a flash of light, others sinking into shadow. The palette is entirely golden-olive: ochres, moss greens, browns, and gold, all within the same tonal family, with very low contrast, bathed in a warm, filtered light, like the light that filters through a garden after the rain. It takes a moment to spot the snail – it’s in the center of the canvas, its slimy body stretched out like a leaf, its rounded shell almost blending in with the pattern and color of the leaves surround ...

Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art to open in eastern Georgia KVARELI.- The Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art is a new cultural institution located in Kvareli, in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia. Founded by Georgian Collector and Businessman Jemal Inaishvili, it opens to the public on 31 October 2026, and marks the beginning of a long-term institutional commitment to the research, preservation, exhibition and interpretation of Georgian contemporary art. The first of its kind in Georgia, the Kvareli Foundation for Contemporary Art’s building is designed by the Tbilisi-based architectural practice Midamo, by architects Giorgi Chkonia and Dato Danelia. It was conceived as a multifunctional cultural campus set within the landscape of the Caucasus foothills, and brings together exhibition spaces, a public programme of talks and performances, an on-site hotel, and a fully accessible rooftop that forms an integral part of its public and artistic programme. It is designed as a platform for research, education and cultural exchange — a place w ... More
Rick Shaefer gallery talk draws enthusiastic audience to MoCA\CT WESTPORT, CT .- An engaged audience gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art \ Connecticut (MoCA\CT) last night for a Gallery Talk with artist Rick Shaefer, who offered insight into the inspirations, ideas, and techniques behind his practice and Colossi, his monumental charcoal drawings currently on view at MoCA\CT through November 15. “I don’t want to explain away everything, and actually, I can’t explain everything, because there’s lots of these drawings that I don’t understand myself,” Shaefer told the audience. “But that’s the way it should be. That’s the way art should be.” Shaefer spoke candidly about the many disparate influences embedded within his work, from Rembrandt and Hieronymus Bosch to John Ford and Star Wars. Included in the conversation was his interest in the sublime—the tension between awe and unease, beauty and peril—and the ways art can draw viewers into that space. He also discussed his choice of charcoal and its remar ... More
