Theatrical and macabre, Ding Shilun’s “Janus” at ICA Miami was a discomfiting delight. The works are a personal and psychic exploration with emphasis on interspecies networks.

In his new show at Andrew Kreps, He Xiangyu keenly employs the materiality of clay to question our relationship to the built environment. The exhibition features coil-built dwellings with only the narrowest of window openings, creating an ambiguous and slightly foreboding atmosphere.

Webster’s works at Dia Beacon are simultaneously intimate and vast. They implore visitors to encounter them with the body and the senses, and they are captivating to both.

Frasier here uses works from across her practice to build a pantheon of monuments to the vital histories, and future stories, of workers, women, and communities of color.
Dame Magdalene Odundo’s works, installed in captivating dialogue with the historical trimmings of Houghton Hall, bring a layer of complicating depth that revives the space and demands visitors take a closer look at the histories from which it is built.

With recent works hidden behind rows of bathroom stall doors, Hughmans is a delight to explore. The mode of display is playful, but with persistent depth, as it amplifies the metaphors explored by the works hidden behind the doors. At Lisson until 2 August 2024. Exceptional!

Abby Chen’s curation of Yuan Goang-Ming for the Taiwan pavilion incorporates works spanning from 2014 to now. When shown together, they pose a litany of questions around themes of war, the everyday, poetry, safety, and the difference between freely living and merely surviving.

For his exhibition at 52 Walker, Arthur Jafa invokes the body’s personal, political, and industrial guises, interweaving images and objects to create a forceful and maximal space.
Central to the exhibition, spanning the entire length of the gallery, is a site-specific installation—a plexiglass structure that Jafa refers to as a “picture unit.”

Richard Serra’s Tilted Arc, 1981-89, Federal Building Plaza, NY.
Rest In Peace oh changer of worlds. Art has never been the same. I felt eerily safe in your steel confines. They were familiar gestures, drawings in space, and I found comfort in their warm burnt umbers, rusts, soft golds and earth browns.
Your works are a contradiction, impossible, heavy yet afloat - macho, rough and tough, but with a weathered surface born of time that is so fragile. I frequently walked away feeling restored and balanced after a stroll through one’s belly. Now we tilt in your honor.

Hot Light, Hard Light is an installation conceived of by Crowner in her Brooklyn studio, where the perception of the form, shadow, and color of the works shifts constantly throughout the day in conjunction with the movement of the sun.
Just as color is not a static element, Crowner’s works shift and morph according to their environment.

For Hold Me, Hold Me, Hold Me, Theaster Gates creates a series of material pairings – across painting, sculpture and archival installation – indicative of musical harmonic devices. Shifting the ideology of art from visually based to metronomic, Gates explores how sound holds pain and suffering, joy, temporality, memory and contingency.
