WASHINGTON, DC.- The first U.S. solo exhibition of influential Korean contemporary artist Ahn Chang-Hong opens Sept. 5 at the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center. “Ahn Chang-Hong: noon-mool,” on view through Dec. 6, brings together monumental paintings, photography-based works and three-dimensional installations that explore the sorrow of contemporary life and the enduring possibility of empathy. Ahn’s work is deeply rooted in Korea’s social and political history while addressing questions that transcend geography. The exhibition will occupy two floors at the museum and showcase the full scope of Ahn’s recent work. At its center is the newest “Taxidermy” series, in which Ahn layers paint over photographs of taxidermized animals. The larger-than-life works pair unsettling images of discarded taxidermized animals with vivid, monochromatic ... More
HAMM.- Violence and ordinary life, political turmoil and private existence collide in War and Jam: George Grosz × Daniel Richter, a major exhibition bringing the work of two generations of German artists into direct conversation. Running from September 5, 2026 through February 21, 2027, the exhibition examines how artists respond to periods of social instability and political uncertainty. Spread across approximately 800 square meters, the exhibition places the uncompromising social criticism of George Grosz alongside the expressive, often ambiguous paintings of contemporary artist Daniel Richter. Although separated by several generations, both artists have repeatedly turned to the tensions and contradictions of the societies around them. The exhibition's title points to one of its central ...

The archive was amassed over a 20-year period by George Michael's close friend and personal assistant, the late Siobhan Bailey.
LONDON.- One of pop music’s most recognizable instruments is set to go under the hammer in England this summer. The original 1940s Gretsch Synchromatic 150 guitar played by George Michael in the video for Faith will be the highlight of a special auction at Sworders titled Faith & Fame: A Personal George Michael Collection on Thursday, October 29, 2026, starting at 2pm UK (9am US ET). Worldwide bidding will be available online through Sworders Live. With its sunburst finish and signature cat’s-eye sound holes, this guitar wasn’t just an instrument, it became the visual and sonic heart of the Faith video. As George Michael leaned against the jukebox, stomped his heel, and strummed those opening chords, he wasn’t just performing; he was reinventing himself. The video marked his leap from Wham! frontman to confident solo ... More
Metal Museum at Overton Park in Construction.
MEMPHIS, TENN.-The Metal Museum officially opens its doors to a new home in Overton Park on September 5, 2026, marking the most significant transformation in the institution's 47-year history. The Metal Museum is an international leader in the celebration, recognition and promotion of field of fine metalwork – achieved through exhibitions, collections, working studios and educational opportunities for learners of all ages and skill levels. The Metal Museum’s move from its longtime riverfront bluff location to the former Memphis College of Art building in Overton Park creates a museum nearly three times larger than its previous home and advances the Museum’s role as a leader in the field of metal arts. Originally designed by Memphis architects William Mann and Roy Harrover in 1956, this mid-century modern building has been recognized nationally for its innovative design and architectural significance. ...

PARIS.- David Zwirner will present Au 108 rue Vieille du Temple, a group exhibition at the gallery’s Paris location that celebrates the legacy of the gallery space and its history—both as the former site of Galerie Yvon Lambert and since 2019 as David Zwirner Paris. This expansive presentation marks forty years since the inauguration of Lambert’s gallery at the same address, 108, rue Vieille du Temple, on 20 September 1986. Au 108 rue Vieille du Temple highlights the affinities between Galerie Yvon Lambert and David Zwirner and showcases the artist-centric approaches that both gallerists have shared. Since opening his first gallery in Paris in the 1960s, Lambert was among the earliest to champion several artists who now form a foundational part of the David Zwirner program; he is celebrated for bringing postwar avant-garde American art to France and supporting many important French and European artists. The exhibition ... More
Harold Edgerton, Rodeo, 1940.
DENTON, TX.- PDNB Gallery announced its new exhibition, The Last Cowboy Song, bringing together a powerful collection of vintage and contemporary photography, the exhibition examines the enduring visual history, romanticized mythology, and rugged reality of cowboy culture across America. Spanning nearly a century of imagery, The Last Cowboy Song features legendary high-speed stop-motion studies by M.I.T’s Harold Edgerton, capturing the precise, split-second physics of a rodeo cowgirl standing on a moving horse and a cowboy falling off a bronco, using his famous stroboscope flash. This kinetic energy is complemented by John Stryker’s classic high-octane rodeo photography, which illustrates the extreme daredevil spirit of the cowboy. The American history of the cowboy started with the open range, driving cattle along trails, working cattle on ranches. Later, when the fences and trains appeared on the map the cowboy myth began with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows, Louis Lamour’s sto ... More
GWANGJU.- The 16th Gwangju Biennale, You Must Change Your Life, opens to the public on September 5, 2026. Curated by Artistic Director Ho Tzu Nyen with Che Kyongfa, Gahee Park, and Brian Kuan Wood, the exhibition brings together 43 artists and groups who have spent years—in some cases, entire lifetimes—exploring how change unfolds across every conceivable scale. The title is the famous final line of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, in which an encounter with a broken ancient statue transforms the viewer’s way of seeing: they can no longer continue as before. Yet neither the poem nor the exhibition prescribes how such transformation should take place. Held entirely within a single building, this is one of the Biennale’s most focused editions. Rather than extending outward across space, it proposes a different kind of journey: one that leads visitors progressively deeper inside, only for the deepest interior to open again onto the furthest outside. The exhibition unfolds through f ... More
The legacy of the Sánchez Ortega Photographic Studio is being reassessed as an essential part of Fresnillo’s visual memory. Photo: Ricardo Sánchez Ortega.
DURANGO.- A photographic archive comprising some 130,000 negatives is being reconsidered as one of the most important visual records of Fresnillo, Zacatecas, documenting the transformation of the historic mining community and the lives of generations of its residents. The archive was created by photographer Ricardo Sánchez Ortega (1911–2000), whose studio became such a familiar presence in Fresnillo that photography specialist Juan Carlos Basabe Bañuelos remarked that a true Fresnillo household would typically have one of Sánchez Ortega’s portraits hanging on its walls. Basabe, head of Communications at the Zacatecas Center of Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History, discussed the photographer’s legacy during the International Colloquium on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro in Durango. His research focuses on Sánchez Ortega and the enormous photographic collection that eventually gave rise to the Pedro Valtierra State ... More

LYON.- The 18th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art will open September 19 under the title Passer d’un rêve à l’autre / To pass from one dream to another, bringing an expansive international exhibition to museums, former industrial buildings and public spaces across the French city through December 13, 2026. Curated by Berlin-based Australian writer and art historian Catherine Nichols, the edition takes Lyon itself — its history of trade, textiles, labor and circulation — as a point of departure for a broader reflection on how value is created, exchanged and sustained. At the center of Nichols' approach are Lyon's traboules, the network of semi-hidden passageways, courtyards and staircases that connect streets and buildings in Vieux Lyon, the Presqu'île and the slopes of Croix-Rousse. Historically used by silk workers to move through the city, the passages have also been associated with labor struggles and the French Resistance. For Nichols, they offer both ... More

SYDNEY.- Sullivan+Strumpf will present two powerful new bodies of work from acclaimed First Nations artist, curator and cultural ambassador, Tony Albert, in a new solo exhibition opening at their Gadigal/ Sydney gallery Thursday 17 September 2026. A complement to his acclaimed survey exhibition, Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir, on now at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia until 19 October 2026, these two new bodies, Reverb & Still, examine the persistence of language, imagery and representation around the ways cultural attitudes continue to echo across generations. In Reverb Tony Albert draws upon the vernacular of everyday Australia, subverting familiar expressions and cultural shorthand to turn colloquialisms back upon themselves, in a series of text-based works that explore how racism can reside within humour, nostalgia and seemingly innocuous everyday language. At the centre of the exhibition a ... More

PASADENA, CA.- The Art of Kandy: Sri Lanka’s Last Kingdom brings together 13 objects from the Norton Simon Museum’s collection of art from the kingdom of Kandy, the final royal capital of Sri Lanka before the onset of British colonial rule. From intricately carved ivory sculptures to gem-studded silver objects for the elite, this presentation of small-scale, portable works showcases the skill and ingenuity of the kingdom’s artisans. Kandyan craftsmen flourished under royal sponsorship, fostering the development of a creative and distinctive identity amid internal strife and pressures from foreign powers. Founded in 1469, the kingdom of Kandy was re-established in 1592 and remained independent until its annexation into British Ceylon in 1815. Although Kandy was a remote kingdom in the central hills of Sri Lanka, it played a significant role in revitalizing the island’s social landscape. Kandyan kings formed ... More

Moody Center for the Arts presents group exhibition Radiant Geometries HOUSTON, TX.- Through a framing of North, Central, and South America as interconnected regions, Radiant Geometries: Vectors of Knowledge from the Indigenous Americas brings together contemporary Indigenous and Latin American artists whose practices illuminate knowledge as a living technology, through which the mathematical, metaphysical, and artistic realms converge. At a moment when the social and environmental consequences of technological advancement are prompting global debate, this selection of works—among them paintings, sculptures, textiles, video works, and site-specific commissions—conveys relational teachings rooted in the Americas. The exhibition features national and international artists, including Nanibah Chacon, Melissa Cody, Jordan Ann Craig, Patricia Domínguez, Sara Flores, Natalia Montoya Lecaros, Patrick ... More
Osteometric study reveals unexpected diversity among nuns of historic Mexico City convent MEXICO CITY.- The skeletal remains of women buried at Mexico City’s former Convent of San Jerónimo are challenging long-held assumptions about who was admitted to one of New Spain’s religious communities. A new study of nuns who lived at the convent between the 16th and 19th centuries indicates that the congregation was considerably more diverse than surviving historical records had suggested. The findings are presented in The Hieronymite Nuns of Mexico City, 16th to 19th Centuries: An Osteometric Study, a book co-published by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) and the Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana. The volume was presented during the 37th International Anthropology and History Book Fair. Historical sources had generally portrayed the convent as a community made up primarily of Spanish and Creole women. But ... More
New exhibition in Campeche explores the Maya universe through the ancient ballgame CAMPECHE.- A new exhibition at the Museo de Arquitectura Maya, Baluarte de la Soledad, examines the Maya ballgame not simply as a sport, but as a practice deeply connected to religion, political authority, community life, and the ancient understanding of the cosmos. Titled The Eternal Game, the exhibition opens to the public on September 4, 2026, in San Francisco de Campeche and brings together archaeological objects, explanatory materials, contemporary reproductions, and tactile resources to explore a tradition with more than 3,500 years of history. Evidence for the ballgame in the Maya region reaches back to the Middle Preclassic period, between approximately 1200 and 400 BC. Over time, the activity became closely associated with social and ceremonial life, linking human beings with gods, celestial bodies, natural cycles, and political power. “Through ... More

The gallery has represented the Estate of Robert Filliou since the 1990s. On the occasion of the centenary of his birth, the gallery is presenting his first exhibition in our Paris space since 2012. Active from the 1950s onward, Filliou was a self-taught artist interested in fields as varied as economics—in which he had been trained and had worked—philosophy, linguistics, metaphysics, Buddhism, and the sciences. Describing himself as a “genius without talent,” he developed a multifaceted body of work that includes plays, happenings, poems, mail art, writings, assemblages, multiples, environments, films, and videos. Often associated with Fluxus, Filliou remained independent from the movement ... More
Alisan Fine Arts presents Revisiting the Jade Terrace celebrating female ink artists ABERDEEN.- Twelve years after Alisan Fine Arts debuted the landmark exhibition Beyond the Jade Terrace (2014), which heralded a new vanguard in contemporary ink with female artists Chu Chu, Wang Mengsha, and Zhang Yirong — we now reconvene at the gallery with Revisiting the Jade Terrace, where we are honoured to present the established pillars of the same artists who now stand as major figures in contemporary ink art.

Kiang Malingue announces the representation of Thảo NguyÊn Phan HONG KONG.- Kiang Malingue announced its representation of Thảo Nguyên Phan. Thảo Nguyên Phan (b. 1987, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; lives and works in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) cultivates an ever-shifting relationship between paintings, videos, sculptures, and sound, by bringing them into conversation in the forms of installations and environments that are at once intimate and expansive. She finds resonances between fields of knowledge, by drawing the interconnectedness between inventive forms in literature, poetry, art movements, and folklore, understanding history as a commingling of events, ideology, memory, and mythologies. With works that operate as relays and feedback that course through the past, present, and future, she materializes pathways between physical and psychic realms, and advocates for an ecology that arises ...

Kunsthalle Mainz opens new exhibition exploring the power and complexity of friendship MAINZ.- Friendship is an essential part of our lives, not a mere enrichment. It nourishes our wellbeing and benefits our health. It empowers us as individuals and brings people together as parts of the same social world. But what draws us towards one another? Where does connection emerge from – and what happens when the bond fades? Kunsthalle Mainz invites you to explore these questions through photography, installation, video, sound, and textile works in its new exhibition Freund*innenschaft (Friendship). Freund*innenschaft challenges visitors to focus on affinity and connection rather than disconnect and isolation. Shared experiences, collective interests and mutual trust are the basis for commonalities which intersect more established or reified categories such as age, gender, origin and social background. Through their works, the participating artists explore ... More
Amir Khojasteh explores exile, memory, and Persian gardens in DUBAI.- In May the Tree No Longer Burn When I Wake, Amir Khojasteh presents his first body of work developed after leaving his home country, Iran. During this time the Persian garden¹ stood out to him. A garden in a barren land protected by walls resonated deeply with his experience of departure and distance. In his last show Living in a Burning House, his position was that of an insider. Now he speaks from a distance. “I am standing on a hill and watching the fire slowly settle. What remains is ash, the solid remnants that are left behind by the flames,” he says. Ash is conceptually present in the show, suggesting destruction while simultaneously enabling new forms. A storyteller at heart, Khojasteh unfolds a narrative within the exhibition space through paintings, sculptures, and installations. If we imagine the walls of the gallery as those that enclose a Persian garden, we enter a twisted vision of such a space: a garden with windows overlooking a doomed landscape. Figures lie le ... More
Austrian Pavilion at the 16th Gwangju Biennale presents Birke Gorm: the evening and the morning and the night GWANGJU.- Artist Birke Gorm is representing Austria at the 16th Gwangju Biennale in 2026. Under the title the evening and the morning and the night, she has transformed the upper floor of Gwangju’s Eunam Museum of Art, both physically and conceptually, into an attic—a storage place, full of latent energies, largely left undisturbed. The exhibition is curated by Attilia Fattori Franchini and marks the second national presentation by Austria at the Gwangju Biennale. In her artistic practice, Birke Gorm investigates the life cycle of everyday objects. Through carefully collecting, reusing, and reinterpreting materials, she examines how objects carry, lose, or acquire meaning. In doing so, she interrogates the ideological frameworks that shape how history ... More

On a day like today, German artist Oskar Schlemmer was born
September 04, 1888. Oskar Schlemmer (4 September 1888 - 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. In 1923, he was hired as Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop, after working at the workshop of sculpture. His most famous work is Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet), which saw costumed actors transformed into geometrical representations of the human body in what he described as a "party of form and colour". In this image: Portable gramophone in a compact case, designed by Schlemmer in 1928.
