Lee Friedlander, New City, New York, 1962. Gelatin silver print, 14 x 11 inches (sheet) [35.6 x 27.9 cm].
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Lee Friedlander: Maria presents a seven-decade portrait of the artist’s wife, tracing the arc of their relationship through marriage, parenthood, grandparenthood, and beyond. Spanning the 1950s to the 2020s, approximately 50 photographs reflect Friedlander’s inimitable style and record his wife with tenderness, awe, and amusement. A new hardcover publication accompanies the exhibition. The photographs catalogue scenes from everyday life—Maria reading, driving, talking on the phone, lying in the sun, reading another book. Many images reflect Friedlander’s sustained appreciation for his wife’s self-possessed style, recording her chic look through decades of print dresses and oversized sunglasses. In some, nothing more happens beyond a man marveling at his wife. Other portraits take on the attributes of Friedlander’s idiosyncratic approach to image-making—Maria’s silhouette casts a shadow on a newspaper at breakfast, or her face appears among reflec ... More

OSLO.- The National Museum of Norway presents W̶o̶m̶a̶n̶ Painter, a major exhibition bringing together 51 paintings and 19 different women artists working across Northern Europe and Italy between 1550 and 1650. Featuring works by artists including Sofonisba Anguissola, Artemisia Gentileschi, Lavinia Fontana, Clara Peeters and Judith Leyster, the exhibition reveals how women established professional artistic careers in a field largely dominated by men, challenging long standing assumptions about their place in art history. Organised in collaboration with the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the exhibition also presents a significant new attribution within the National Museum’s own collection. Following extensive research by the exhibition curator Cynthia Osiecki, Still life with small game and grapes on a gilded tazza (c. 1620) will be displayed for the first time as a work by Clara Peeters, an influential early 17th-century still life painter. The reattribution forms p ... More
Raya Simpao, Feeling Lovely, Need a Witness 2025. Acrylic and colored pencil on canvas, 60h x 48w in 152.4h x 121.9w cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Ancient mariners connected the stars, rendering them into shapes and figures that told otherworldly stories of deities and mythological creatures. These celestial patterns helped them navigate the seas and, by extension, locate themselves within the vastness of the universe. Similarly, the painters in this exhibition map stories—whether quotidian or supernatural—onto canvas or linen, guided by diasporic gazes that look both inward and beyond the world around them. No Place brings together four early- to mid-career painters from different points within the constellation of the Southeast Asian diaspora. Through painting, these artists explore what resides in their hearts: memories of elsewhere, experiences of inbetweenness, portals to other realms, and observations of everyday life. Rather than framing “no place” as a condition of unbelonging, the exhibition proposes it as a generative space of connection. Through their diasporic perspectives, the artists cultivate re ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- David Zwirner will present an exhibition by Scott Kahn at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street location in New York. Focusing on the artist’s singular landscapes—a genre that is central to his practice—the exhibition will bring together a significant group of new and recent paintings alongside works spanning the previous twenty-five years that explore Kahn’s most enduring motifs. Over more than five decades, Kahn has maintained a commitment to a representational mode of expression, using a distinctive formal language to achieve a nuanced and poetic rendition of the simultaneous splendor and mundanity of the world around him. Rooted in his everyday life and experiences, Kahn’s enigmatic landscapes blend real and surreal elements. Many read as near facsimiles of lived experience shot through with electric color or ghostly shadows: billowing clouds that seem to come alive, ominous moonscapes, bare trees electrified by unexpected hues, and picture windows that o ...

Helen DeGrange McLellan. Newcomb Wall Hanging, c. 1905–1915. Silk embroidery on linen, 57” x 39”. The Historic New Orleans Collection. Image courtesy of The Historic New Orleans Collection.
NEW ORLEANS, LA.- Quiet Reserve: Stitching an Ambitious New Woman examines embroidery’s role as a professional and artistic practice at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College in the early twentieth century. The college’s needlework curriculum encouraged students to see embroidery as both creative expression and viable career training, reshaping ideas about women’s labor and independence in the U.S. South. Students described their work as “art needlework,” producing handsewn textiles inspired by natural motifs and everyday life. Under the leadership of Ellsworth Woodward, the program cultivated a distinctive style marked by refined design and accessible techniques that allowed students to develop sophisticated, personal artistic voices. Woodward, the first director of Newcomb’s School of Art, noted that the students’ needlework conveyed a “quiet reserve in design.” The exhibition highlights how Newcomb helped expand opportunities for Southern women in the decorati ...

UMBRIA.- The Poor Farm and BB Trust House will launch a biennial exhibition program with work by artist Kay Rosen titled We Have a Synching Feeling in the Italian Hilltown of Monte Castello di Vibio (PG), Umbria, Italy. Rosen’s exhibition expands on her decades-long investigation into the structure, sound, and social dimensions of language. Installed throughout several domicile dwellings in the medieval hill town, Rosen’s exhibition will be in a regional conversation with the work and the environments initiated by Sol LeWitt, Brian O’Doherty, Mel Bochner, and Richard Tuttle, conceptualists who developed artistic practices and visual vocabularies in response to Umbrian cultural history and its physical environment. For over six decades, Rosen has explored the potential of linguistic form—its denotations, connotations, and visual possibilities—through paintings, drawings, wall works, collages, and editions. Employing visual, grammatical, and typographical strategies such ... More
Each capsule functions as a distinct environment for reflection, drawing on phenomena from the plant and natural world.
OSLO.- The Fallow Year is a site-specific installation and participatory project by artist and writer Amber Ablett. In this exhibition, the capsule hotel—a structure typically associated with efficiency, productivity, and transience—is transformed into a space for community, reflection, and slowness. Here, rest is not framed as an escape from or the inverse of work, but as an intentional and political act: a necessary condition for collective transformation, especially for those engaged in care work, activism, and liberation practices, or whose lives are shaped by marginalisation. The project continues Ablett’s long-term work The Fallow Year: Rest, Growth and Activism, which began in 2022. Inspired by agricultural cycles such as crop rotation and leaving land fallow, the project investigates how natural rhythms can offer alternative ways of organising life, labour, and resistance. In nature, rest is not the absence of activity, but a regenerative phase in which connections are ... More
'Mientras el día no cierre II' exhibition view, 2026, GALLERIA CONTINUA / Habana. Photo: Linet Sánchez.
HAVANA.- GALLERIA CONTINUA / Habana is presenting the second chapter of Mientras el día no cierre II (“Until Daylight Fades”), a group exhibition that, on this occasion, brings together Cuban artists Alejandro Cañer, José Miguel Costa, Fidel García, Jorge Luis Marrero, and Glenda Salazar. The exhibition evokes that liminal moment before nightfall, when light still lingers and, with it, the possibility to imagine, to sustain, and to create. Conceived as a gesture of generosity and artistic collaboration, the exhibition arises from a dynamic of peer-to-peer invitation: artists connected to the gallery invite other creators who reside and work on the island, activating a network of affections, complicity, and shared urgencies. In this second chapter, Carlos Garaicoa invites Alejandro Cañer; Luis Enrique López-Chávez invites José Miguel Costa; Alejandro Campins invites Fidel García; Iván Capote invites Jorge Luis Marrero; and Susana Pilar invites Glenda Salazar. Since its first edition, i ... More
LONDON.- White Cube announced representation of Tesfaye Urgessa (b. 1983, Ethiopia). Urgessa’s painting Fiber of grace (Schutz) 2 (2025) will go on view at the 2026 edition of Frieze Seoul. His debut exhibition with the gallery opens at White Cube Hong Kong on 9 September 2026, following his first solo museum presentation in Asia at Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing (until 9 August 2026). Urgessa lives and works between Addis Ababa and Nürtingen, Germany, and was the first artist to represent Ethiopia in its inaugural national pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia in 2024. Describing himself firstly as a draughtsman, he begins each day with drawing before turning to painting on his studio floor, using a long brush to create densely peopled tableaux. Within his compositions, bodies appear pressed against one another, even enmeshed with their domestic surroundings. Having grown up watching his father reproduce church murals, Urgessa trained in painting in Addis Ababa before continuing his studies ... More

RAVENSBURG.- Kunstmuseum Ravensburg will open three interconnected exhibitions this August, led by Janet Cardiff’s internationally acclaimed sound installation The Forty Part Motet. Presented alongside a dialogue between German Expressionism and contemporary art, as well as a participatory exhibition created with children, the program examines how art can reshape historical narratives and offer new perspectives on enduring social questions. Running from August 8 through November 15, 2026, Janet Cardiff: The Forty Part Motet will occupy the museum’s second floor. The installation, considered one of the Canadian artist’s most important works, has been presented internationally but will be experienced in Baden-Württemberg for the first time. Created in 2001, the work is based on Spem in Alium, the monumental 40-part composition written around 1570 by English Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis. Cardiff commissioned a performance by the Salisbury Cathedral Choir in southern England and re ... More

Ludwig Museum presents dystopian art exhibition Black Mirror BUDAPEST.- The Ludwig Museum’s collection, which has been developing for several decades, features a number of contemporary works that deal with imaginary visions of the future or interpret the present as a dystopian reflection of the past in some way. The 90 works featured in the exhibition serve as a kind of black mirror: we see not only our present in them, but also a vision of the future that helps us understand what kind of future we want to avoid. The title of the exhibition, Black Mirror, has multiple meanings and is strongly connected to both the present and the past. In contemporary culture, the term primarily refers to the dark surface of switched-off digital displays. In this sense, the concept has become a sign of malfunctions, freezes, or complete system crashes (“black death”). Charlie Brooker’s dystopian series “Black Mirror” has contributed significantly to its spread in culture, using the dark screen as a metaphor for technological self-reflection. H ... More
Düsseldorf's Malkastenpark hosts collaborative project Ecologies in Motion DUSSELDORF.- The Malkastenpark, a 2.5-hectare park laid out in the mid-18th century in the centre of Düsseldorf, forms the focus of the collaborative project. Here, the park functions not merely as a backdrop but becomes a visible, active participant in artistic and social processes – a place of encounter, memory and transformation. Sculptures, performances and interventions will activate the park in multiple ways and open it up as a space for contemporary art, urban biodiversity and diverse forms of encounter. Ecologies in Motion approaches the park as a social, ecological and aesthetic space. As a social space, it offers opportunities for encounter, exchange and collective experience, while as an ecological space it opens up new perspectives on biodiversity in an urban context. Sensitisation to the park’s old tree population, historic structures and green areas forms an integral part of the project, inviting visitors to reflect on a sustainable relationship with the designed environment ...

Lotus L. Kang explores grief and inheritance in new solo exhibition GERMANTOWN NY.- Mendes Wood DM is presenting Casket, a presentation of new work by the Canadian-born, New York-based artist Lotus L. Kang. Receiver Transmitter (Casket) (2026), a cast aluminum sculpture centering on avian bodies, a relatively recent motif in Kang’s practice, takes as its central image a bird nourishing through regurgitation. Non-human, its figures bear what are among the most shared of experiences of inheritance, loss, the passage from one generation to the next, the extreme newness of a life just begun, what a mother can pass on to her brood. Working to monumentalize this exchange, treating it as a process rather than a state of arrival or finality, Kang has been thinking about leakiness, regurgitation, and translation. The concepts find their most literal form in the act of feeding, one body passing what it holds into another. What cannot be contained, that leakiness in existence, gives the work its model of inheritance, the messy, formless business of passing some ... More
The Art of Learning: Becoming Each Other's School at Arko Art Center SEOUL.- Participants in the exhibition The Art of Learning: Becoming Each Other’s School [1] include artist-led groups, collectives, studios, art spaces, and schools that independently organize their curricula, gatherings, and workshops. [2] The exhibition examines the motivations and approaches of self-organizing individuals who pursue creative endeavors and are connected by common interests.[4] It also explores their modes of learning, including collaboration, knowledge sharing, and peer formation. Rather than functioning as a final product, the exhibition seeks to raise questions that lead to creative processes and collegial relationships. It aims to be a site where these processes unfold.[3] It features diverse programs, including small-group gatherings where artists, colleagues, and audiences can meet. These programs reveal successive phases of practice, experimentation, and research.[5] All these activities is created through the mediums of dialogue, shared laughter, ongoing encoura ... More
New Groningen exhibition investigates physical memory in digital age GRONINGEN.- As technology increasingly thinks and decides for us, Thinking Hands investigates what the body actually still knows. From September 12 through November 1, 2026, Noorderlicht brings together photography, video, and installations centered on the knowledge embodied in our hands, bodies, and gestures. The exhibition will take place at THEA, the new art space in the former Niemeyer tobacco factory in Groningen, serving as the prelude to the Noorderlicht Biennale PLAY (Summer 2027). Often, the body knows something before the mind does: the seamstress recognizes a fabric by its pressure and resistance, the dancer feels the floor through their feet, the surgeon feels with her hands what her eyes cannot see. It is this kind of knowledge—which the Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa called "the thinking hand"—that Thinking Hands puts center stage at a moment when big tech companies are building systems to think and choose for us. In his portrait series Talking Hands, Paul Kooiker shows ... More
Alina Pinsky hosts French debut exhibition for artist Tatiana Andreeva PARIS.- Committed to bringing wider recognition to key figures among Russian artists whose work spans from the 1970s to the present day, Alina Pinsky presents an exhibition devoted to Tatiana Andreeva, whose groundbreaking oeuvre remains largely unknown beyond her native country. Born in Moscow in 1951, Tatiana Andreeva now lives and works in Switzerland. The daughter of Anna Andreeva, a legendary and multifaceted figure in the decorative arts, she was introduced to mathematics and, through magazines, discovered the work of artists such as Victor Vasarely, Nicolas Schöffer, and François Morellet—encounters that left a profound mark on her. From the early 1970s onward, she developed a visual language and programme that subtly combined rigor and system. Working in series, Tatiana Andreeva devised a singular method, translating her close observation of nature into a set of codes in keeping with the tradition of Op and Kinetic art. Attuned to architecture—for which she conceived numerous ... More
