Ted Pim, Dream of thought, 2024. Oil on canvas 200 x 130 cm, 78 3/4 x 51 1/4 in.
SHANGHAI.- Almine Rech Shanghai opens 'Loinnir,' Ted Pim's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from March 21 to May 24, 2025. Ted Pim’s latest exhibition, Loinnir, is the incarnation of his relentless experiments with light and cultural symbols. Loinnir is an Irish word meaning radiance, gleam, or shimmer. It symbolizes enlightenment not only in optical or physical sense but also in the metaphysical and intangible senses. Drawing on this Irish heritage, Pim’s current practice appropriates classical motifs and Old Masters’ imagery through repetition, cropping, and radical recontextualization, transforming the familiar into the uncanny. By doing so, Pim’s works are stripped of original narratives and resist narrative closure. Loinnir becomes a reimagined and reanimated hallucinatory space. Looking back, Pim has long been aware of art history’s entanglement with power and myth. He avoids nostalgia and instead explores its plasticity. His recontextualized portrait ... More

BERLIN.- Marking 20 years since artist, writer and performer Vaginal Davis made Berlin her home, Gropius Bau presents the first comprehensive solo exhibition of her work in Germany. In her expansive oeuvre, punk meets glamour, queer activism meets Black counterculture and resistance meets desire. Vaginal Davis: Fabelhaftes Produkt holds the full scope of Ms. Davis’ practice, while also giving center stage to her many collaborative projects, with the Berlin-based art collective CHEAP and New York-based artist Jonathan Berger, among many others. Vaginal Davis’ work in painting, video and film, zine-making, writing, music and performance extends across the ground floor of Gropius Bau. Spanning from 1985 to 2025, it is presented in seven large-scale installations. “After hosting her first institutional exhibition in Berlin in 2019, we are thrilled to welcome Vaginal Davis back at Gropius Bau and give her ...

HELSINKI.- Monira Al Qadiri’s art deals with what it feels like to live a modern life made possible by oil during the accelerating climate crisis. The starting point for her new exhibition is the way that this raw material formed over millions of years has been almost surreptitiously interwoven into human history and destiny. The subject is personal for her: Al Qadiri grew up next door to oil refineries in Kuwait and experienced the Gulf War as a child. Deep Fate is her first solo exhibition in the Nordic countries. It opens at Kiasma on Friday. Oil is everywhere in our everyday lives – in fuels, clothes, toys, make-up, buildings and roads. We use it to heat homes and the climate. Wars have been fought over it. Oil’s dual role in generating wealth and causing crises is a central theme in the new exhibition by artist Monira Al Qadiri (b. 1983). The title, Deep Fate, refers to the origins of oil deep in the earth and also to the way that dependence on oil and breaking that dependence ... More

NEW BRITAIN, CONN.- The New Britain Museum of American Art presents special exhibition Lure of the Sea: Masterworks of American Coastal Art from March 21 through Summer 2025. For centuries, the coastal landscape has served as a vibrant arena in which American life, industry, and creativity have flourished. Lure of the Sea: Masterworks of American Coastal Art features nearly one hundred paintings, works on paper, and sculptures that explore the profound impact of coastal environments on the nation’s artistic and cultural development, as well as its collective imagination and identity. Lure of the Sea explores broad themes, including the evolution of American “marine” art, from its traditional depictions of historical maritime vessels, events, and locales, to emotionally imbued expressions of nature’s power, beauty, and allure. The exhibition considers the coast’s relationship to industry, leisure, and the emergence ... More
NEW YORK, NY.- Pace is presenting There is something that stays, Kylie Manning’s first major solo exhibition in New York, across its 510 and 540 West 25th Street galleries. On view from March 14 to April 19, this presentation brings together ten new, never before-seen paintings of various sizes, including intimately scaled works and monumental triptychs. For her debut with Pace in New York, where she has lived and worked for the last 20 years, Manning will present paintings forged in local minerals—tourmaline, calcite, and quartz—that pulse with the energy of the city and its people. In these works, she explores both personal and universal experiences of time, meditating on its rapidness and its inevitability. For the artist, this contemplation of time relates to her life as a new mother—particularly the ways that the brain is chemically changed during and after pregnancy. Alchemical enactments of coming together and falling apart—moments of panic and precarity—are inten ... More
VIENNA.- Belvedere 21 presents Maria Hahnenkamp’s first major institutional solo exhibition: a remarkable Austrian artist who, with radical consistency and subtle subversion, confronts the mechanisms of accelerated and superficial image production and opens up new perspectives on seeing and thinking. Stella Rollig, general director of the Belvedere: Maria Hahnenkamp’s oeuvre is among the most interesting and most headstrong in recent Austrian art history. For decades, this artist has systematically interrogated social and media structures and analyzed images of femininity with subversive radicalism, and the time has come to introduce her to a wider audience. For over thirty years, Hahnenkamp has been working with, through, on, and even against the medium of photography and its specific dispositives. In her critical, feminist practice, she deliberately undermines the voyeurism of the media, rejects the passive ... More

ROTTERDAM.- A striking new landmark has emerged on Rotterdam’s Tweede Maasvlakte: Portlantis. This state-of-the-art visitor centre brings the Port of Rotterdam to life, revealing its inner workings and hidden stories. As one of Europe’s most vital logistical hubs, the port is a vast, dynamic world—constantly evolving to improve efficiency and sustainability. At Portlantis, visitors explore how the port operates, its impact on the economy and environment, and the challenges it faces to remain future-proof. Portlantis is a gesamtkunstwerk, where architecture, exhibitions, and interior design blend seamlessly. What makes this project unique is that we first developed the storytelling concept and visitor experience together with the client. This vision then shaped the architectural design by MVRDV. The result is an integrated and dynamic design where content and form strengthen each other at every ... More

HELPTOFINDOUTHOWIFEEL, 2024, Epoxy resin and pigments on wood, 84 x 60 inches, 213.4 x 152.4 cm.
NEW YORK, NY.- Miles McEnery Gallery announces its seventh solo exhibition of new works by Markus Linnenbrink. ILIKEITHERECANISTAY is on view 20 March through 3 May 2025 at 525 West 22nd Street. Accompanying the exhibition is a fully illustrated publication featuring an essay by Matthew Biro. Markus Linnenbrink’s epoxy resin “paintings” emerge from a decades-long exploration of medium and process. In his “Drip” paintings, he harnesses the interplay of resin and gravity to extrude thin bands of color, layering them until depth and surface become indistinguishable. His “Reverse” paintings, cast in vinyl molds, solidify into a topographical maelstrom of color, while his “Cut” and “Drill” paintings disrupt the pristine lacquered surface, revealing the vivid, hallucinatory hues beneath. Linnenbrink’s unique material language emerges through an intensely physical process, balancing chance and control. As he layers and ... More

BALTIMORE, MD.- The Baltimore Museum of Art today announced the opening of Malcolm Peacock: a signal, a sprout as part of its Turn Again to the Earth initiative exploring the relationships between art and the environment across time and geography. This exhibition features a monumental installation by the New York-based artist and long-distance runner, who spent his formative years in Baltimore, Maryland. The 8-foot tall and wide tree-like form is inspired by the giant, ancient redwood trees Peacock encountered while training for marathons in the Pacific Northwest and is covered with thousands of strands of hand-braided synthetic hair—the creation of which was itself an act of endurance and deep care. The exhibition is on view from March 19 through August 2025. “Malcolm’s installation is a thought-provoking meditation on the emotional, spiritual, and physical power of nature. It also offers a critical pathway to dialogue about who has rights and access to nature ... More

Immersive audiovisual arena transforms Aspen Art Museum ASPEN, COLO.- For his first institutional exhibition in the United States, Jasper Marsalis (b. 1995) transforms the lower-level galleries of Aspen Art Museum into a responsive audiovisual environment in which the viewer is both a subject and a participant. Creating an immersive assemblage, Marsalis combines the infrastructure of live events, including microphones, spotlights, a camera, and a screen, with paintings and sculptures. The exhibition unfolds as a site for performance where visitors play a crucial role in generating new images and sounds, and extend their limits of perception. Marsalis instigates links between acts of artmaking and communal acts of spectacle, questioning the role and power of an audience. In the galleries, Marsalis gives form to both vigilant and despondent acts of observation in his oil paintings. Mirrored, shiny materials, from ... More

Three Indian artists explore transformation in New York exhibition NEW YORK, NY.- Thomas Erben presents transfiguration, -mutation, -formation, a three person show with works by Goutam Ghosh, Savia Majahan and Aditi Singh. Though these artists’ practices differ in medium, aesthetic character and philosophical grounding, their works speak to the power of process, the mutability of form and the possibility of unison with energies far more encompassing than their individual selves. All three artists are currently based in India, and while Aditi Singh (b. 1976, Gauhati) exhibited with the gallery in 2016 and 2018, Goutam Ghosh’s (b. 1979, Nabadwip) work was first seen in New York at the New Museum’s 2021 Triennial.

"Neon Dust": GR Gallery's exhibition explores dystopian futures through cyberpunk art NEW YORK, NY.- GR gallery announces the exhibition 'Neon Dust', featuring new artworks by Chino Amobi, Jebila Okongwu, Juan Cuéllar Costa and Lim Kaye. This show will present a total of 16 paintings, including works on canvas and on paper, openly resonating with the apprehension of dystopian and cyberpunk aesthetics, which feel increasingly realistic with the latest development of AI technology nowadays. Through the contingent blending of the auto-machine based process and the anti romantic conception of a human-machine hybrid, visitors find themselves suddenly immersed in a blurry, densely rational void. This environment continuously evokes the visualization of a society standing in a liminal dimension set in between existence and dystopia, freewill and constraint, cybertechnology and low-life. In this context, GR gallery introduces a series of artworks ... More
GNYP Gallery opens the first solo exhibition in Belgium of artist Patrick Goddard ANTWERP.- “I’m talking to you about solidarity with students and workers, and you’re talking to me about tracking shots and close-ups! You’re idiots!” At the height of the events that led to the famous May of 1968, Jean-Luc Godard, the great name of the French New Wave, was caught exchanging accusatory words with other filmmakers. The issue was what to do to help the cause. For him, when faced with pressing practical matters, the cinematographic technique had little power. In the nick of time, solidarity ought to be done without a camera in hand. This schematic separation between art and politics, in any case, wasn’t so stuck as Godard himself would probably later have admitted. Art and politics mingle in complex, dialectical ways. In the end, solidarity and tracking shots belong to the same endeavor—a comprehension shared by Patrick Goddard’s view ... More
On a day like today, German-American painter Hans Hofmann was born
April 21, 1880. Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 - February 17, 1966) was a German-born American abstract expressionist painter. Hofmann's art work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusion, and color relationships. He was also heavily influenced in his later years by Henri Matisse's ideas about color and form. In this image: Hans Hofmann Catalogue Raisonné of Paintings.
