LONG ISLAND CITY, NY.- Artist and poet Precious Okoyomon (Nigerian-American, b. 1993) has transformed the MoMA PS1 courtyard into a living forest of plants, sculpture, and sound.

The installation inaugurates MoMA PS1’s Courtyard Commission series, a new biannual program inviting artists to create site-specific, large-scale works for the museum’s outdoor courtyard, reimagining how experimental art can transform public space.

EAST PROVIDENCE, RI.- This August, bg Fine Art presents The Strange World of Louise E. Marianetti (1916–2009), an intimate exhibition of paintings from the artist's formative years of the 1930s and 1940s. The exhibition offers a focused look at Marianetti's highly personal vision within the broader tradition of American Magic Realism. Marianetti studied at the Rhode Island School of Design, graduating in 1936, before continuing her education at the Art Students League of New York under William Palmer and Robert Brackman. During these years she embraced the discipline of egg tempera painting while developing an artistic language that combined meticulous observation with quietly enigmatic subject matter. A New York Times critic, reviewing her work in 1943, remarked, "I suppose this would be called, in accord with the newly invented tag—magic realism." The description captures the tension that defines Marianetti's paintings. Children, portrait ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Minjung Kim’s abstract works—the result of the patient manipulation of traditional Korean calligraphy ink and hand-dyed hanji (mulberry paper)—have garnered her global acclaim. Born in Gwangju, South Korea, Kim trained in traditional Korean painting before continuing her studies in Milan, Italy, where she developed a distinctive visual language at the intersection of Eastern sensibility and Western abstraction. Now based between France and the United States, she has cultivated a unique body of work that extends the possibilities of hanji, and has exhibited internationally for more than three decades. Minjung Kim: Ink, Paper, Fire is the first comprehensive monograph of the artist’s work, set to become the definitive text on her poetic, profoundly attentive practice. Kim’s style is defined by her use of series—multiple works created in similar modes, all bearing the same title—created in the same yea ... More

EDINBURGH.- Two rare Jacobite-era pistols have been reunited in a new exhibition at Montrose Museum. A pistol on loan from National Museums Scotland is displayed alongside its pair in Tartan & Turmoil: The Angus Jacobite Story. The weapons date to the late 17th century and are rare surviving examples of work by the Montrose gunmaker and goldsmith William Lyndsay the Elder. The steel heart butt pistols are richly decorated with intricate floral engravings and silver mounts, stamped with Lyndsay’s mark. The pistols likely belonged to a wealthy and influential local family at a time when Montrose was renowned as a Jacobite stronghold. Following the failed uprising of 1715, it is believed the weapons were taken to France where they remained for over 200 years before returning to Scotland in 1993. Tartan & Turmoil explores the pivotal role Angus played in the Jacobite fight to restore the Stuart dynasty to the throne. The bustling port of Montrose was once branded ‘the most disloyal and ...

NEW TAIPEI CITY.- Rooted in research on Taiwanese photographic history, this exhibition revisits how “Minjian” became a crucial field of attention, intervention, and reflection for photographers across different generations. The decision to retain “Minjian” in Mandarin pinyin is part of the exhibition’s critical framework. Rather than translating it into “folk,” “vernacular,” or “popular,” the exhibition treats Minjian as a concept that must remain partially resistant to immediate equivalence. Within the historical contexts of Taiwan and East Asia, Minjian is therefore understood not as a fixed cultural category, but as a dynamic social space in which local networks, daily practices, religious life, publishing media, and the circulation of images continually intersect. It is a field in which photography observes, enters, and reframes reality. The slash (/) in the exhibition title marks this reciprocal historical relation: photography has shaped how ... More

OMAHA, NEB.- The exhibition Sadie Barnette opens in the Joslyn Art Museum’s Riley Contemporary Artists Project (CAP) Gallery August 1. Working across drawing, sculpture, photography, and installation, Sadie Barnette mines both personal narratives and collective histories, exploring how the two intersect and diverge over the course of one’s life. Her exhibition in the CAP Gallery centers on a recording she discovered on a doorbell security camera. In the short black-and-white video, the artist’s father is seen removing helium balloons from the trunk of a car. As he wrangles the inflatables—a gift for the artist’s mother—a single heart-shaped balloon floats away without his notice, prompting a bewildered search of the vehicle. Upon reviewing the footage, Barnette recognized that an easily overlooked episode had many stories to tell—about gestures of affection, about bearing witness to everyday life, and about the transformation of a fleeting moment into the stuff of ...

The Giving Tree, 2023, Acrylic on canvas over panel, 84” x 72".
LOS ANGELES, CA.- The ICA San José will present To Give and Take, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based, Bay Area-trained artist Greg Ito, curated by Zoë Latzer. Opening September 18, 2026 and on view through February 21, 2027, the exhibition brings together new paintings, sculpture, and video installation that expand Ito’s distinctive visual language across mediums. The exhibition marks an ambitious new chapter in Ito’s evolving practice. Inspired by Shel Silverstein’s The Giving Tree, a story Ito first encountered as a child and now experiences through the perspective of a parent, To Give and Take reflects on how our understanding of love, sacrifice, and responsibility shifts across generations. Following the birth of his daughter, Ito began considering the ways families sustain one another through cycles of care, loss, and renewal. The tree becomes a central metaphor throughout the exhibition: a source of nourishment and shelter, a record of time, and a symbol of what is passed from o ... More
The exhibition at the National Museum of World Cultures allows visitors to “step inside” four monuments with more than seven centuries of history.
MEXICO CITY.- More than seven centuries of Balkan history, faith and artistic achievement are at the center of Serbian Medieval Heritage in Danger, a temporary exhibition at Mexico City’s National Museum of World Cultures that examines both the beauty and the vulnerability of some of the region’s most important medieval monuments. The exhibition focuses on four religious sites in Kosovo: the Dečani Monastery, the Patriarchate of Peć, Gračanica Monastery and the Church of the Virgin of Ljeviš. All are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List and have also appeared on the List of World Heritage in Danger for the past two decades because of political instability, regional tensions and the difficulties involved in protecting and monitoring the sites. The show arrives at a moment when the question of cultural heritage in areas affected by conflict remains particularly urgent. The Church of the Virgin of Ljeviš, for example, is still surrounded by barbed wire and p ... More
ARLES.- From scientific specimens and circus performers to beloved pets, endangered species and viral internet sensations, animals have occupied the photographic image almost from the moment the medium was invented. A major new exhibition, Modèle animal: 200 ans de photographie, brings together more than 500 photographs by 220 artists to examine how photography has shaped the way humans look at, live with, exploit and protect other species. Co-produced by Photo Elysée and the Rencontres d’Arles, the exhibition is on view in Arles through October 4, 2026, before traveling to Photo Elysée in Lausanne, where it will run from December 4, 2026 to April 4, 2027. Spanning two centuries, the show moves from some of photography’s earliest scientific applications to contemporary images circulating through social media. Rather than offering a conventional history of animal photography, curator Nathalie Herschdorfer and her team have organized the exhibition around different ways of looking ... More

Alison Bradley Projects announces U.S. representation of Alice Shintani NEW YORK, NY.- Alison Bradley Projects announced the representation of Brazilian artist Alice Shintani (b. 1971, São Paulo) in the United States, in collaboration with Almeida & Dale, São Paulo. Alison Bradley Projects will present Shintani's first US solo exhibition in Fall 2027. Shintani's practice is grounded in an expanded understanding of painting as a site of spatial, social, and institutional inquiry. Working across painting, installation, collective actions, and interventions in public space, she investigates the ways images, objects, and gestures circulate between everyday life and the structures that frame contemporary art. Rather than treating painting as a discrete medium, Shintani approaches it as a mode of thinking—one that extends into architecture, urban space, and encounters with diverse publics. Formally, her work is characterized by an economy of means. Color, folding, repetition, light, and simple geometric forms become tools through which she examines relationships between b ... More
