NEWPORT, RI.- On a stretch of lawn at Chateau-sur-Mer, one of the first grand Bellevue Avenue mansions of the Gilded Age in Newport, Rhode Island, a subtle earthwork has quietly endured for more than half a century. When Richard Fleischner installed “Sod Maze" in Newport in 1974 as part of Monumenta, one of the earliest large-scale outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the world, the work helped redefine how art could exist in the landscape. A new exhibition returns to that moment, tracing both the origins and the afterlife of an installation that never truly left. Titled Full Circle: Richard Fleischner with David Smith, Christo, Claes Oldenburg, Barnett Newman and other Monumenta Artists, the exhibition revisits Monumenta through the career of Fleischner, now based in Providence, Rhode Island, and among the few surviving artists who participated in the landmark 1974 project. ...

TAIPEI.- Curated by Taiwanese curators TSOU Ting and WANG Han-fang, “Of Thread and Stone” draws on New Taipei City’s textile and mining industries to reimagine a museum in progress. Bringing together objects, materials, and artistic practices from different geographies and historical moments, the exhibition traces cultural narratives that echo one another while remaining distinct. When a strand of thread and a piece of stone intertwine, the story of a century-old mining industry and a booming modern textile industry unfolds. Two seemingly parallel narratives intersect, at the mining pit and the factory, underground and aboveground, in the labor experiences of men and women, coalescing into a singular urban fabric and cultural memory. As the city grows, industries pivot, populations gather and disperse, fragments of stories linger, awaiting rediscovery. Fusing traditional craft and contemporary art, “Of Thread and Stone” traverses ... More
RENNES.- La Criée is presenting an exhibition by Marcel Dzama, an internationally renowned Canadian artist based in New York, but rarely exhibited in France. Entitled Le voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon), in homage to Georges Méliès, the magician of early cinema, it presents for the first time in Europe a wide selection of the artist’s films, accompanied by a collection of storyboards, drawings, models and sculptures. Having attended art school in his hometown of Winnipeg and been immersed in alternative popular cultures from the outset (notably through his involvement in rock bands and production of numerous fanzines), Marcel Dzama has been developing a prolific and joyful body of work since the late 1990s, in which drawing and film are central. A great admirer and connoisseur of early cinema, from which many of his films borrow elements such as black-and-white imagery and expressionist gestures, Marcel Dzama is, in ... More

VIENNA.- With this reinstallation of the Vienna 1900 rooms, the MAK has created atmospheric spaces where visitors can immerse themselves in one of the world’s most important collections on this famous chapter of art history. At the invitation of General Director Lilli Hollein and in close communication with the heads of the MAK Collection, the contemporary artist Markus Schinwald developed a new concept for the permanent presentation on this highly influential period. His intention was to create new connections and bridges to the present and broaden our perspective on an era that continues to set standards in design to this day: with a topic-oriented narrative, systematic shifts in perspective, and precise artistic interventions that both re-isolate and contextualize the exhibits. This has resulted in a permanent collection that gives a spectacular stage to the MAK’s outstanding holdings of Viennese Modernism and repeatedly leads viewers into settings that make a unique ...

LOS ANGELES, CA.- Christina Quarles’ latest body of work reflects the acute sense of displacement she experienced in the wake of the historic Los Angeles wildfires that consumed her home in early 2025. Quarles is already admired internationally for the dexterity and assertiveness with which she manipulates paint. With the new works on view in ‘The Ground Glows Black,’ she pushes that expressive and physical power to new limits, conveying the impact of the fires on her inner landscape. Kinetic planes of color, texture and pattern evoke architectural and digital realms where human forms jolt and bend in response to unseen forces. Denser and more frenetic than Quarles’ earlier works, these paintings feel newly urgent while hewing to the artist’s core pursuit: to show how instability and resilience coexist, creating spaces where ...

LONDON.- Recently dubbed the “greatest living abstract painter” by Jonathan Jones in The Guardian, Sean Scully’s abstraction has always held landscape as a touchstone. Presenting his 2005 series of photographs from the island of Aran alongside two large-scale paintings and a huge salon-style array of drawings, watercolours, photos and written works on paper, this selection charts the landscape theme throughout his career, revealing how enmeshed the natural world remains to the artist's ways of seeing and thinking. This specially envisaged wall of Scully's landscape works, hung in rough chronological order from left to right, begins with an early pencil drawing of a house plant from 1965, produced while he was still a student at the then precursor to Central Saint Martins. Scully then leaps from close botanical study to radical abstraction in the space of just a year or so. A suite of vibrant oil pastels and gouaches from 1965-66 blur traditional ... More

MMCA Seoul redefines masterpieces through the poetics of decomposition SEOUL.- The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea presents Sak-da: The Poetics of Decomposition from Friday, 30 January to Sunday, 3 May 2026 at MMCA Seoul. Sak-da: The Poetics of Decomposition introduces works that openly reveal their own process of decay, brought together under the practice of “sak-da,” or decomposing art. In the era of the Anthropocene—in which human activity exerts a profound impact on the Earth’s environment—the exhibition examines the ways in which artworks are changing in the face of a comprehensive global crisis and explores the historical, aesthetic, and social meanings of these transformations. We have traditionally referred to outstanding works of art as “timeless masterpieces.” In this expression, “timeless” carries the meaning of “never decaying.” This exhibition questions whether the long-held belief ...

Erin Wright turns architecture into a plaything at albertz benda LOS ANGELES, CA.- albertz benda presents Fever Dream, a unique exhibition of paintings in which the house is both gallery setting and painting subject.
