Installation view of Rebecca Morris #34 at Regen Projects, Los Angeles. September 13–October 25, 2025. Photo: Flying Studio.
LOS ANGELES, CA.- Regen Projects is presenting #34, Los Angeles-based artist Rebecca Morris’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and the thirty-fourth of her career. Over the past thirty years Morris has established a sophisticated visual lexicon to expand the limits and possibilities of non-objective abstraction in painting. As Hamza Walker has written, “Rebecca Morris’s commitment to abstraction lies somewhere between the poles of fierce and rabid, a prerequisite for coping with a pluralism arising not only from across disciplines but from within the discipline of painting itself.” Grounded in the conviction that the constituent elements of a painting should disrupt as much as they harmonize, Morris’s work generates an internal language that responds to its own codes of meaning. The artist establishes decision-making systems and visual motifs, revisiting and adjusting them as she works. In some cases, she begins her paintings with the canvases on the floor and applies oil ... More

Driskell, he developed a personal collection over decades—through strong relationships with artists, scholars, and fellow collectors. His collection reflects a broad lineage, spanning from 19th-century landscape painter Edward Mitchell Bannister to late-20th-century icons such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, and Alma Thomas. ...

Paulo Nimer Pjota, A mágica e o caminho, 2025, oil, tempera and acrylic on canvas, 210 x 163.5 cm.
PARIS.- You have to be at least three to make a society – and so at least three for a splitting off to take place. Three, too, to make a family – and from that simple truth, many aspects of our relation to the world begin to unfold. Space is experienced in three dimensions, while a chord requires three notes to resonate, and life itself is divided into three ages. The triad is powerful, and religions are evidence to that: the Three Jewels of Buddhism – Buddha, Dharma, Sangha; Hinduism’s Trimūrti of creator, preserver, and destroyer; the divine triads of Ancient Egypt (Osiris, Isis, and Horus, among others); Christianity’s Holy Trinity; even Greco-Roman mythology, with its Fates, Graces, and Furies, which all come in threes. It’s a matter of balance, yes – but also of dynamism, completeness, mediation. It is in this spirit that Paulo Nimer Pjota conceived Os alquimistas estão chegando – its title borrowed from a song by Jorge Ben Jor, a central figur ... More
DRESDEN.- To mark the 70th birthday of William Kentridge, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections, SKD) are dedicating a major exhibition festival to the South African artist under the title William Kentridge. Listen to the Echo. It is being organised by three museums of the SKD in cooperation with the Museum Folkwang in Essen. As well as the world-famous artist Kentridge himself, the Centre for the Less Good Idea in Johannesburg, which was founded by him and Bronwyn Lace, is also acting as a curatorial and artistic partner for the festival in Dresden. For the first time, William Kentridge’s visual art and the Centre’s radically creative practices can be experienced simultaneously in an international exhibition.

ROCHECHOUART.- To mark its 40th anniversary, the Musée d’art contemporain de la Haute-Vienne—Château de Rochechouart is celebrating with a group exhibition including some of the most emblematic works in its collection. Opened in 1985 at the initiative of the Conseil général de la Haute-Vienne in the prestigious Château de Rochechouart, the museum has set itself apart through a continuous dialogue between contemporary art and historical heritage.

Over the years, the museum has built up a remarkable collection that today includes more than 2,200 works by artists of international renown. A sample of this collection is presented here, through works that have marked the history of the museum and its programming, sometimes rarely exhibited. Several loans and a new long-term loan from the Centre national des arts plastiques complete the display ... More

ITHACA, NY.- Alison Bradley Projects announced Kunié Sugiura: Discoveries, a new retrospective exhibition, on view at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) from Thursday, September 18, through Sunday, December 21, 2025. This exhibition focuses on the relentless experimentation and scientific exploration, driven by artistic impulse, of Kunié Sugiura's sixty-year engagement with photography. Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1942, and one of the first students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago to specialize in photography in the 1960s, Sugiura has worked for most of her life in the New York City studio where she has also lived since 1974. There, she has created experimental series that pay little mind to the traditional trappings of and discourses around photography, and stand apart from the trends that have variously defined the medium over the decades. Her oeuvre includes sculptural assemblages that combine ... More

New book 'Alphabet in Motion' makes typography interactive NEW YORK, NY.- Ever wonder how we ended up with so many different styles of letters? Open any text editor, email client or design app and you will immediately be bombarded with a buffet of typographic choices. Serif or sans serif? Display or text? Classical or contemporary? Formal or casual? Featuring 17 stunning interactive pop-ups, this ABC pop-up book explains—as well as demonstrates—the technologies and philosophies that have shaped letterforms through the ages. Readers will learn about '60s psychedelic type by projecting light through a phototypesetting pop-up; how screen technology shaped letterforms by turning on and off anti-aliasing; or the aesthetics of typographic modularity by reconfiguring the puzzle pieces of Josef Albers' Kombinations-Schrift. Type history is often technical and always visual. It is therefore challenging to fully explain in text or in diagrams ... More
New Ana Benaroya show explores gender and desire in 'Eternal Flame' NEW YORK, NY.- The FLAG Art Foundation is presenting Eternal Flame, an exhibition of new and recent works by Ana Benaroya. With an expansive selection including paintings, works on paper, and monotypes, the exhibition presents the full breadth of Benaroya’s reimagining of women’s bodies as a form where femininity and masculinity coexist, intertwine and transform one another. By referencing both art historical motifs and drawing upon contemporary culture—from music to comics to movies—Benaroya situates her subjects within the ever-evolving discourse around how women are seen, understood and desired. Benaroya’s exploration of how women’s bodies have been depicted—as both form and idea—has remained the singular focus of her practice. Driven not only by her attention to the long history of representation of women, but also by an attempt ... More
Julien Heintz's first solo show at Mennour captures spectral portraits from collective memory PARIS.- Impressions, remnants, vestiges… The paintings of Julien Heintz seem to capture the faces of passersby who remain in the distance of our subconscious, like residual traits imprinted on our memory and conserved beyond our will. Tightly cropped to contain just enough to render the defining lines of a face, his compositions hover diligently on the limit of figuration. Stretched across the canvas as if sliding across a screen, the features of Julien Heintz’s subjects are rendered in an aqueous blur, almost impossible to capture in the impetus of movement. Suspended in time and space, they exist in the confines of our collective mind, as phantasmagorical strangers whom we are drawn to, invited to pay closer attention. For his first solo show at Mennour, Julien Heintz presents a series of new oil paintings and pastels on paper. Having constructed over several years ... More
Pioneering photographers P.H. Emerson and Susan Derges paired in new exhibition at Purdy Hicks Gallery LONDON.- Purdy Hicks Gallery brings together the work of pioneering 19th-century photographer P.

The presentation of original vintage photogravures and platinum prints by P.H. Emerson, has been organised in conjunction with Robert Hershkowitz; the renowned 19th Century photography specialist. P. H. Emerson (1856–1936) was an English photography pioneer, known for capturing the life and landscapes of the East of England’s agrarian community. A vocal and early advocate for ‘truthful’ photography as an art form, he held a celebrated, and at times controversial, position within the contemporary photographic establishment. Emerson aimed to preserve the old ways of country life with new photographic ... More

Aargauer Kunsthaus presents Klodin Erb's largest solo exhibition to date AARAU.- Klodin Erb (*1963, Winterthur) is one of the most important Swiss painters of our time. In 2022, she received the prestigious Prix Meret Oppenheim award in recognition of her artistic career spanning nearly three decades. The show at the Aargauer Kunsthaus is Klodin Erb’s largest institutional solo-exhibition to date, and gives insight into the artist’s sensual, profound, and humorous oeuvre, which celebrates constant change and life itself. Klodin Erb’s art gets under the skin. Layer by layer, viewers dive into her fascinating pictorial worlds. These are both serious and funny, strong and fragile, sensual and reasoned. Klodin Erb’s work reveals diverse metamorphoses with a liberating effect: Neither human nor animal, neither man nor woman, neither young nor old—the characters in her paintings elude traditional thought patterns and categories. In her expressive, ... More

Legendary photographer Moriyama Daido's work spans decades in new exhibition SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Casemore Gallery presents Dog and Man, a new exhibition of iconic and more recent images by legendary Japanese photographer Moriyama Daido. This exhibition focuses the city of Tokyo as seen through the constantly sprinting Moriyama’s lens in his latest color and black-and-white works, in addition to some of his iconic images from the 60s and 70s. Known as a master of snapshots, Moriyama Daido, one of Japan’s preeminent photographers, began his career in the 1960s, and achieved initial notoriety as one of the members of Provoke photomagazine. Their style, which came to be described as “are, bure, boke” (rough, blurry, out of focus), sent shockwaves through the photography world and created nothing less than a new lingua franca of photography, with its grainy, high-contrast, kinetically composed snapshots of a post-war Japan rapidly transforming itself. Moriyama described their work in simple terms—“Japan ... More

Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT) 30th anniversary exhibition: Choreographies of the Everyday TOKYO.- To mark its thirtieth anniversary, Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo presents Choreographies of the Everyday. This exhibition considers how the museum can mobilize and nurture artistic practice in sustaining forms of publicness amid the shifting sociopolitical and cultural conditions of today and in the days to come.

Including new commissioned works, performances, and workshops, the exhibition probes the cultural, political, and economic forces entangled in ordinary conditions, bringing to light systemic violence, inequalities, and the lasting impact of oppression.
