Explore exhibitions by institution, year, or theme, and discover the stories, materials, and voices behind each project.
Arlene Shechet — Exhibition
Shechet’s sculptures are all personality—leaning, twisting, almost breathing. She lets imperfection take the lead, and the result is pure joy.
Jack Whitten — The Greek Alphabet Paintings
Dia Beacon stages the first full survey of Whitten’s landmark Greek Alphabet series—abstract, layered, rhythmic—bringing renewed attention to a pivotal body of work that navigated structure, ink, and gesture.
Leslie Hewitt
At Dia Bridgehampton, Leslie Hewitt’s spare compositions and sculptural works quietly blur the boundary between photography and memory—casting the everyday into poetic resonance.
52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone
Fifty-two voices, five decades, one throughline: power. This exhibition looks at where feminist art has been—and where it’s still boldly going.
Rose B. Simpson — Dream House
Simpson invites you inside a house built from memory, myth, and her own ancestral architecture. Rooms filled with ceramics, textiles, video, and sculpture guide a journey through home, identity, and transformation.
Dozie Kanu; Hugh Hayden; Kiyan Williams; Leilah Babirye; Tau Lewis — Black Atlantic
Black Atlantic brings together five artists whose works speak to the histories, migrations, and material cultures shaped by the African diaspora. Installed along Brooklyn Bridge Park’s waterfront, the exhibition reimagines public space as a site of resilience and reclamation—where sculpture, form, and narrative move fluidly between land and sea, past and present.
Liz Larner — Don’t Put It Back Like It Was
Liz Larner’s Don’t Put It Back Like It Was reconsiders sculptural form through gesture, gravity, and time. Known for reimagining materials from clay to stainless steel, Larner transforms the familiar into meditations on tension and repair.
Tauba Auerbach — S v Z
Pattern meets physics. Language meets form. Auerbach builds worlds where everything vibrates just slightly out of sync—and that’s the point.
Claudia Wieser — Rehearsal
Wieser builds spaces that feel sacred and playful at once—mirrors, tiles, and gold leaf that make you part of the geometry.
B. Ingrid Olson — History Mother and Little Sister
B. Ingrid Olson bends architecture and the body until both start to shimmer. With History Mother and Little Sister, the Carpenter Center becomes a stage for mirrored limbs, carved reliefs, and architectural riffs that press photography and sculpture into playful, feminist conversation. Supported by Girlfriend Fund, these twin exhibitions are as sly as they are structural.
