Torkwase Dyson — Akua
Dyson’s monumental steel forms shape how you move and breathe through space. She’s thinking about freedom, geography, and the body—and how abstract art can hold all of that at once.
Loie Hollowell: Space Between, A Survey of Ten Years
Girlfriend Fund is proud to support Loie Hollowell: Space Between, A Survey of Ten Years at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum — a landmark exhibition tracing a decade of the artist’s exploration of abstraction, form, and the body. Through luminous color and sculptural depth, Hollowell transforms intimate experience into radiant geometry, inviting viewers to step into the space where emotion and material meet.
Tomashi Jackson — Across the Universe
In Across the Universe, Tomashi Jackson brings together abstraction, history, and political urgency, layering color, text, and material to explore how power circulates through public space, education, and collective memory.
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.
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.
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.
Jacqueline Humphries — jHΩ1:)
Jacqueline Humphries transforms the language of abstract painting into a field of encoded gestures and digital symbology. jHΩ1:) expands her exploration of light, code, and mark-making, merging painterly instinct with algorithmic rhythm.
Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint’s visionary paintings reveal abstraction as a spiritual and philosophical pursuit. Created decades before her contemporaries, the works challenge linear art histories and foreground intuition, symbolism, and unseen forces.
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.
