Explore exhibitions by institution, year, or theme, and discover the stories, materials, and voices behind each project.
Amy Sherald | Whitney Museum of American Art
Sherald paints Black life with quiet power and perfect poise. Her portraits glow from within—otherworldly yet unmistakably real. You feel the stillness, the grace, and the invitation to really see.
Christine Sun Kim — All Day All Night
Kim translates sound into something you can see. Her work is funny, sharp, and political in the best way—turning the rules of communication inside out.
Julie Mehretu — Retrospective
Mehretu’s paintings are storms—fast, dense, and electric. You can feel the motion and the meaning all tangled together, like cities seen from memory.
Rachel Harrison — Life Hack
Harrison’s sculptures are part joke, part critique, and completely her own. Pop culture meets fine art in a mash-up that’s as smart as it is mischievous.
Laura Owens — Exhibition
Owens paints like she’s in on the joke—and maybe writing the punchline. Every canvas is part chaos, part genius, and completely alive.
Zoe Leonard — Exhibition
Leonard looks slowly and asks us to do the same. Her photographs linger on the edges of things—borders, seams, the places where one story touches another.
