Carolyn Mazloomi, Madam C. J. Walker, 2025, 76 x 77.5 inches, cotton fabric, cotton batt, poly-cotton thread, India ink; printed, stenciled, hand painting, machine quilted.
NEW YORK, NY.-Claire Oliver Gallery is presenting Certain Restrictions Do Apply, a landmark two-person textile exhibition featuring new works by artists Carolyn Mazloomi and Sharon Kerry-Harlan. On view from January 9–March 7, 2026, the exhibition presents 9 new artworks and inaugurates the gallery’s 2026 program. The exhibition celebrates decades of friendship and collaboration between the two artists; both Mazloomi and Kerry-Harlan mine the history of Black American pioneers and expand the narrative and formal possibilities of quiltmaking and textile art. Though distinct in approach, Mazloomi and Kerry-Harlan share a commitment to storytelling through fiber, exploring race, culture, memory, and belonging. Their works reposition quilting not as domestic craft or woman’s work but as a powerful conceptual and political practice. The two artists have also been close friends for decades, sharing conversations, critiques, and creat ... More

WILLIAMSBURG, VA.- Long overshadowed in the story of Abstract Expressionism, women artists played a pivotal role in shaping the artistic movement. A new exhibition at the Muscarelle Museum of Art spotlights these influential women, presenting nearly 50 paintings by 32 artists in “Abstract Expressionists: The Women,” on view Jan. 23-April 26. The exhibition underscores the critical contributions these artists made to the growth of Abstract Expressionism through works that span the movement’s formative years in the late 1930s, peak visibility in the postwar era and later evolution through 1977. By examining stylistic crosscurrents among artists working in New York, California and Paris, ... More
Issey Miyake. 45th Ed. Hardcover, 6.1 x 8.5 in., 2.28 lb, 460 pages ISBN 978-3-7544-0286-3
NEW YORK, NY.- In 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told The New Yorker that he aspired “to forge ahead, to break the mold.” With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether. With a unique fusion of poetry and practicality, his creations blur the boundaries between tradition, modern technology, and everyday function. This definitive history of Miyake’s clothes from 1960 to 2022 offers expert insight into the designer’s vision and daring. Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, the book looks at the texture-driven originality of Miyake’s materials and techniques from the very earliest days of his career, before he had even established the Miyake Design Studio. Drawing ... More

LONDON.- The first exhibition in the UK by artist WangShui (b. 1986, USA) opens at White Cube Bermondsey in February, featuring a selection of paintings which investigate the evolving relationship between consciousness and technology. In recent years, WangShui has developed a distinctive approach to painting, through which they explore how significant technological advancements may transform human perception, using painting as a way of tracking these changes through embodied gesture. In ‘Night Signal’, a new series of paintings turns this investigation towards the realm of dreams. Drawing on neuroscience, Indigenous knowledge, and artificial intelligence, WangShui treats the dream not simply as an expression of the mind, but as a window into alternate dimensions of consciousness – places where images are not seen but sensed, not known but felt. ...

PARIS.- After inviting Louis Cane in the 1990s to produce an entire exhibition of ceramics for the MIC - International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza (Italy), the Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m. presents an exhibition at its Paris venue that aims to highlight the French master's innovative research, focusing on emblematic works from the 1960s and 1970s that marked his career as founder of the Supports/Surfaces group, including radical masterpieces such as Papiers Decoupés, Toilés Decoupées or Sol/Mur and interpretations of art from the past, to which he has devoted himself since the 1980s, when he also developed an interest in sculpture. The unique ceramic pieces - created for the exhibition at the museum, produced by Franco and Roberta Calarota, founders of our Galleria d'Arte Maggiore g.a.m., which has also a branch in Paris since 2024 - are an admirable example of his pursuit of "artistic pleasure", which he pursued first through colour and here through terracotta throughout his career.

HONG KONG.- Tai Kwun Contemporary presents Zhang Peili: A Day, a new digital art exhibition from internationally acclaimed Chinese artist Zhang Peili, on view from January 21 to February 20, 2026 at F Hall Studio. Curated by Tai Kwun’s Associate Curator Shuman Wang, Zhang Peili: A Day features a newly commissioned eight-channel video installation that explores notions of temporality, illness, and the body. This exhibition creates a new experience of reality through different media technologies, guiding viewers through everyday public and private spaces that reveal an interwoven yet alienated sense of time and space. In this exhibition, the newly commissioned installation A Day emphasizes subjective visual experiences and consists of real-life footage captured from a first-person perspective, along with videos from news sources and surveillance cameras, medical imagery, and data-generated images. Interspersed are scenes of skin peeling, obstructed movements, and everyday observations, which re ... More

ZURICH.- Galerie Eva Presenhuber will present Hamlet’s Mill, the gallery’s seventh solo exhibition by the US-American artist Verne Dawson. The universe is a strange and mysterious place, operated by unseen clocks, with plans for its inhabitants that they could never predict. Sometimes a story tells itself. In 2005, I was sitting in the office of an art gallery in Toronto when the owner said I needed to see something. He pushed a slim volume across his desk: an artist’s book made by Verne Dawson to accompany his exhibition at Douglas Hyde Gallery, in Dublin. The images inside were compelling in ways that language couldn’t articulate. We whispered about how special these paintings were, feeling profoundly connected to an artist we’d never met. Now it’s twenty years later. I’m writing this press release for Verne’s exhibition at Eva Presenhuber, which includes paintings of Crystal Springs in Saluda, North Carolina, where he sometimes lives, and where I’ ... More

LONDON.- Where the sea ends is a three person exhibition of works by Young-Il Ahn, Gabriel de la Mora and Shim Moon-Seup which explores abstractions of the sea and sky. The exhibition brings together artists from cross generations and cultures, each with a distinct visual expression, united by an enduring inspiration that the natural world has provided them. “The sea is a place where visual and auditory spaces merge, shaped by light, scent, and sound. I was deeply moved by the way in which light is reflected on the ocean—it left a spiritual impression on me. It is through the colours reflected from light that the sea becomes truly beautiful. Light flickers, colour carries, expands, and leads us into the realm of imagination.” -- Shim Moon-Seup Young-Il Ahn (b. 1934, Gaeseong, Korea) lived in Los Angeles from 1966 until his death in 2020. The landscape, light, and atmosphere of California profoundly influenced his artistic journey. His painting practice was deeply affected when, i ... More
Matt Bollinger, Dawn (still), Hand painted, stop motion animation, Variable loop, 4K Video, Edition of 8 + 2AP, 2025.
LONDON.- Here’s a funny thing, comedic, farcical, etc., were it not quite so portentously ominous… the first press text we wrote for a Matt Bollinger show (his first with mother’s tankstation, Collective Conscious[i], in 2021) inescapably featured a recently deposed POTUS attempting not an insurrectional storming of Capitol Hill, on January 6th, five years to the day in writing this. Having gotten away with that one, for Bollinger’s new, forthcoming show with the twentieth-birthday-celebrating-newly-expanded mother’s tanksation | London, it is once again hard not to reflect upon a new ‘over-stepping’ ; not an invasion/annexation of Venezuela… if we didn’t know any better, one could be forgiven for thinking that POTUS 2.1 is a limelight seeking individual bent on stealing Matt Bollinger’s thunder (amongst other things). A collector and supporter of the artist, who just happens to be a significant personage within the American storytelling industr ... More

New exhibition interrogates the implications of being able to see inside the body ASTORIA, NY.- Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) announces Overexposed: Art, Technology, and the Body, a major exhibition organized by Sonia Shechet Epstein, opening to the public on March 14, 2026. Taking its title from a Sylvia Plath poem, Overexposed examines how medical imaging technologies—from X-rays and ultrasounds to MRI, CT scans, and endoscopy—have reshaped how we look at, understand, and control the human body. Featuring 33 historical artifacts, film, and installation-based works, by pioneering artists including Barbara Hammer, Ana Mendieta, Liz Magic Laser, and Donald Rodney, the exhibition interrogates the supposed objectivity of medical imaging tools and the biases, limitations, and cultural implications embedded in how bodies are imaged. “Every medical image tells a story—not just about health, but about power, vulnerability, and trust,” said Sonia Shechet Epstein, MoMI’s Curator of Science & Technology and Executive Editor, Sloan Science & Film. “Ove ...

Magic, logic, and absurdity: Mara Wohnhaas makes institutional debut at GAK BREMEN.- With What do we want that seduces us and The Anecdote, GAK presents the first institutional solo exhibitions by Mara Wohnhaas (b. 1997, based in Düsseldorf). Wohnhaas’s work investigates mechanisms of thought, language, perception, and spatial structures, taking up their internal logics and contradictions and stretching, destabilizing, or pushing them to the point of absurdity. An event or a brief performative moment often serves as the point of departure for her sculptures, performances, drawings, photographs, and videos. Language plays a central role in her practice as well: it generates expectations, promises proximity, and at the same time operates as a slippery system of distance and abstraction. In What do we want that seduces us, two reconstructions of an illusory stage face one another. Wohnhaas approaches these sculptures with meticulous precision, reproducing details such as the fabric of the stage backdrop and the wood veneer with exacting precision, leaving only the ex ... More
GAMeC = Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo presents its 2026 program BERGAMO.- After dedicating its 2024–25 program to exploring new curatorial formats in the fields of cultural production and artistic heritage—through the long-term projects Thinking Like a Mountain and Galassia—in 2026 GAMeC will continue its experimental path leading to the opening of its new building, devoting the entire year to the theme of education, viewed as shared learning and a tool for emancipation and social transformation. What knowledge, skills, and critical abilities are needed to understand and transform contemporary reality? What pedagogical practices and approaches foster autonomy, responsibility, and critical thinking, even in contexts that “educate” us automatically through algorithms and digital flows? How can dialogic and participatory processes integrate with museums’ disciplinary expertise? And how can the needs of diverse audiences be brought together and valorized in order to construct inclusive and innovative cultural narratives and educational practices? In other words, ... More
Record-breaking growth: MAK Vienna reports 16% surge in visitors for 2025 VIENNA.- In 2026, the MAK offers the kind of thematic spectrum that is only possible for a museum with its breadth of collections. The fulminant opening in December of the exhibition HELMUT LANG. SÉANCE DE TRAVAIL 1986–2005 / Excerpts from the MAK Helmut Lang Archive attracted enormous public acclaim and global media attention and will be followed by the long-planned new presentation of two Permanent Collections: VIENNA 1900—Everyday. A Total Work of Art conceived by artist Markus Schinwald and TEXTILES AND CARPETS structured by design studio Formafantasma.

Among the highlights of 2026 is the major exhibition BEFORE DARK: Viennese ... More
Project Arts Centre unveils 2026 programme: A year of queer ecology and contested histories DUBLIN.- Project Arts Centre, Dublin, Ireland is pleased to share our 2026 visual arts exhibition programme. Maryam Tafakory is a UK-based, Iranian artist film-maker who makes textual and filmic collages. Her work interweaves poetry, archival, and found material to explore depictions of erasure, secrecy, and censorship. In her essayistic videos, images and scenes drawn from a vast archive of films are reworked to examine intimacy, desire, and prohibition. She works with film and performance and is the 2024 winner of the Film London Jarman Award. Tafakory’s new film, Daria’s Night Flowers, functions as a fragmented, essayistic text, merging found‐footage and scripted narrative elements, typical of Tafakory’s experimental approach. It constitutes their ongoing body of research into representations of women, or the lack thereof, in post-revolution Iranian cinema. It focuses on the concealed queer stories and the representation of desire through a system of codes and leaving things unsaid. ... More
Sabelo Mlangeni's "I have stopped time" set for major Rome debut at ADA ROME.- «When capturing a moment with a camera, something gains visibility that was invisible until that time. It’s there, but not there. So what does it mean as a photographer, if you capture such an image and you bring it home? It means that it’s an image that didn’t expect to be seen, because it’s not in your eyes but it’s in your lens. These images were responding to my presence there.» --- Sabelo Mlangeni, in conversation with Francesca de’ Medici, Johannesburg 2025 Sabelo Mlangeni is an image whisperer. Someone with an open heart and soul who captures moments, be they a long wished for revelation or a gift of chance. Being so open to the fleeting and transient fills the temporal space between past and future, morphing the eternal into the now. His projects, invariably prepared with care and regard, profoundly understand the sacrality of being present in the hic et nunc as much as remaining wide open to the gift of the moment — and in either case effec ...

Upside-down landscapes: Helene Billgren returns to Galleri Magnus Karlsson STOCKHOLM.- Galleri Magnus Karlsson announces Helene Billgren’s third solo exhibition at the gallery; S som i solens födelse (S as in Sunrise). The exhibition presents mainly new paintings on paper and panel. Over the past year, Helene Billgren has started to paint on paper. True to her habits, she likes to use existing materials that are already in her studio. When she ran out of panels, her gaze fell on a stack of high-quality paper; an unpublished edition of silkscreen prints with blank reverse sides. This encouraged her to start a series of paintings, which now form the backbone of the new exhibition. The works feature a recurring landscape in varying degrees of abstraction. To find a more open approach to the motif, she decided to paint the images upside down. I usually use inspirational images. Often several simultaneously for one work. I also hold these upside down. Sometimes I take elements from my own older paintings. It happens that I turn the painting around again when I work, so t ... More
Dayton Art Institute announces its 2026 exhibitions DAYTON, OH.- The Dayton Art Institute announced its 2026 exhibition lineup, led by three nationally traveling Special Exhibitions—Tony Foster: Exploring Time, A Painter’s Perspective; Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice; and Wall Power! Spectacular Quilts from the American Folk Art Museum—alongside a compelling series of Focus Exhibitions exploring feminism, photography, performance, faith and global artistic exchange. “The 2026 season reflects the breadth of what art can do, from documenting history, to sparking dialogue and helping us see our world, and ourselves, more clearly,” said Interim DAI Director & President Mark Shaker. “These exhibitions connect Dayton audiences with important work from across the country and around the globe while meaningfully engaging with the questions, experiences and communities shaping our world today.” The dynamic exhibition season spans centuries, continents and creative disciplines.

Newcomb Art Museum to open two new exhibitions NEW ORLEANS, LA.- In 1895, the art department of H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, a women’s school in New Orleans, established Newcomb College Pottery to allow graduates to apply their design training and earn an income. Decorators embellished functional wares with imagery drawn from regional flora and landscapes, while vessels were thrown by hired craftsmen using locally sourced clays. Promoted nationally and internationally as a distinctive expression of the American South, the pottery emphasized themes of geographic distance from industrialized northern cities and evoked romanticized visions of the region through motifs such as moss-draped oaks and cypress trees familiar from literature of the period. Although the pottery’s aesthetic evolved and expanded into other media over time, its emphasis on Southern identity persisted until its closure in 1939. Drawn from the permanent collection of the Newcomb Art Museum of Tulane University, this exhibition examines how these works helped construct and ... More

Leighton House announces first major programme exploring its iconic Arab Hall LONDON.- From Spring 2026, Leighton House will present the first major exploration of its 19th century Arab Hall, one of Londonʼs most iconic interiors, through three site-specific art installations, a specially commissioned short film, and an exhibition and new publication containing extensive new research. As a central part of Leighton Houseʼs 100-year anniversary programme, this collaborative and interdisciplinary project examines the spaceʼs remarkable history and its continued relevance today. Created by Victorian artist Frederic Leighton (1830-1896) following extensive travels across North Africa and the Middle East, the Arab Hall was conceived as a spectacular extension to his Kensington studio-house – a blend of Islamic, Mediterranean and Victorian craft traditions, the centre piece of which is the collection of antique tiles from Damascus, Turkey and Iran which line its walls. Since its completion in 1881, the Arab Hall has become an important place for discovery an ... More
