Rose B. Simpson — Seed
In Seed, Rose B. Simpson presents sculpture as an act of inheritance—objects shaped by lineage, land, and the passage of time. The work moves between monument and offering, holding space for growth, memory, and the quiet persistence of Indigenous knowledge.
Nicole Eisenman — Fixed Crane
In Fixed Crane, Nicole Eisenman reimagines monumentality as something unstable and deeply human. The sculpture resists clean resolution, instead lingering in tension—between humor and discomfort, strength and fragility. Eisenman’s work invites viewers to reconsider who monuments serve and what stories they quietly uphold.
Tacita Dean — Landscape
Tacita Dean’s Landscape is a meditation on place, time, and observation, bringing together film and drawing to slow the act of looking and reframe the natural world as something quietly monumental.
Muriel Hasbún — Tracing Terruño
Tracing Terruño presents Muriel Hasbún’s deeply personal photographic exploration of memory, displacement, and belonging. Through layered images that move between archive and lived experience, Hasbún traces the emotional and political terrain of exile, family history, and Central American identity.
Sarah Sze — Timelapse
In Timelapse, Sarah Sze constructs a world in motion—where images, objects, and sound collide in constantly shifting relationships. The exhibition captures time as fragmented and layered, reflecting how meaning is built through accumulation and attention.
Humane Ecology: Eight Positions
Humane Ecology: Eight Positions brings together eight artists exploring the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. Through sculpture, video, installation, and living materials, the exhibition reveals how ecological systems intersect with memory, migration, and identity.
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.
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork — Poems of Electronic Air
Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork turns sound into sculpture you can walk through, lean against, and even feel beneath your feet. Poems of Electronic Air transforms the Carpenter Center into a playground of sonic blankets, inflatable architecture, and stone-crunching floors. Supported by Girlfriend Fund, it’s an invitation to listen with your whole body.
Tauba Auerbach & Eliane Radigue
INDUCTION brings together the work of Tauba Auerbach and Éliane Radigue in a focused exploration of sound, vibration, and perception. The exhibition invites viewers into a shared sensory field where visual form and sustained tone unfold slowly, emphasizing attention, duration, and embodied experience.
Maureen Gallace — Clear Day
Clear Day brings together Maureen Gallace’s quietly radiant paintings, where spare compositions and luminous color distill everyday scenes into moments of stillness and clarity. Small in scale but expansive in feeling, the works invite close looking and slow attention, rewarding viewers with subtle shifts of light, space, and mood.
