ON VIEW | Rossella Biscotti

‘You Must Change Your Life’
16th Gwangju Biennale
5 September - 15 November 2026

Rosella Biscotti’s (Rossella Biscotti) works ‘Rubber Works’, ‘The Heads in Question’, ‘Lucy’, and ‘Alfabeto’ are a part of the 16th Gwangju Biennale (재단법인 광주비엔날레 Gwangju Biennale Foundation) ‘You Must Change Your Life’, led by Ho Tzu Nyen with curators Che Kyongfa, Park Gahee, and Brian Kuan Wood.

Taking its title from the closing line of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem ‘Archaic Torso of Apollo’ (1908), the 16th edition of the Biennale focuses on intensity rather than accumulation, exploring the transformative power of art upon the human spirit. Bringing together the smallest number of artists in the Biennale’s history, this edition calls upon us to centre depth, development, and discipline in the artistic practices on view.

Rossella Biscotti’s practice engages with individual narratives and experiences in relation to society and institutional systems. Through a cross-media approach that ranges across filmmaking, performance, sculpture, and installation, she explores and reconstructs social and political moments from recent times.

We are pleased to announce our participation at Art Basel Paris (Art Basel) later this month with a solo booth presentation of new works for Emirati artist Asma Belhamar (أسماء بالحمَر), kindly supported by the UAE Ministry of Culture’s (وزارة الثقافة - الإمارات) National Grant Program for Culture and Creativity.

Belhamar’s interdisciplinary practice explores the phenomenon of the megastructure in the UAE, and the wider Gulf in general, and its impact on the topographical memory of local landscapes. Through installation, sculpture and drawing, she synthesises the architectural and the organic to construct hybrid spaces that engage with notions of temporality and spatial memory. Her practice is driven by a desire to illustrate the effect that various architectural trends have had on perceptions of the region both locally and globally.

Our booth will be located on the Balconies of the Grand Palais (Aisle M), on level 1F.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Repost from American Academy in Rome

EXHIBITION OPENING
GIORGIO GRIFFA/KAMROOZ ARAM: PAINTINGS
October 20
6:00 – 9:00 pm
Via Angelo Masina, 5

The exhibition creates a dialogue between two painters whose work illustrates how abstract painting reverberates across time and space. The painters Giorgio Griffa (Fondazione Giorgio Griffa) and Kamrooz Aram (Kamrooz Aram) (2024 Carla Fendi Foundation Rome Prize Fellow) met in 2024 in Turin, and this exhibition extends a conversation they began about the place and purpose of cultural tradition, painting as a measure of time and rhythm, and how gesture is traced and captured.

The exhibition addresses this ongoing dialogue on abstraction, reflecting on different approaches to ornament and decoration, presence and loss, margins and intimacy. The show will be on display from October 23 to November 28, 2026, at the AAR Gallery, on Fridays and Saturdays from 4:00 – 7:00 pm.

For the opening, contemporary Italian poets Silvia Bre and Carmen Gallo will read a selection of poems chosen to reflect the themes of the exhibition. Both authors work with language in an organic way, crafting vivid images and evocative atmospheres while revealing a deep engagement with the truth-making power of language.

The American Academy is grateful to the exhibition lenders Alexander Gray Associates, New York and Galleria Lorcan O’Neill, Rome; and the Fondazione Giorgio Griffa, Turin.

The project is part of the cultural programming of the exhibition Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest at the Clark Art Institute The Clark ; supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity DG Creatività Contemporanea MiC of the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council program (2025).

ON VIEW | Nazgol Ansarinia

For One Solid Time, Wet: The Swimming Pool in the Imagination.
03 October 2026 - 21 February 2027
Musée des Beaux-Arts, Le Locle, Switzerland

Nazgol Ansarinia’s work ‘Connected Pools’ is a part of Musée des Beaux-Arts exhibition ‘For One Solid Time, Wet: The Swimming Pool’ this fall.

For One Solid Time, Wet: The Swimming Pool in the Imagination explores the swimming pool as a significant motif within the history of contemporary art. It unites international artists who have explored the complexity of the pool, using it as a symbol of both prosperity and catastrophe, joy and solitude: a metaphor for our search for order and serenity in the face of an increasingly uncertain future.

The exhibition is co-curated by Federica Chiocchetti, former MBAL director, writer and curator based in Paris, and Lou Stoppard, writer and curator based in London.

The selected works immerse visitors in the visual, symbolic and emotional world of the swimming pool. Far from being merely a recreational setting, the swimming pool becomes a space for aesthetic and social reflection, a mirror of our contemporary desires and anxieties. At once an architectural and sculptural object, a geometric space and a setting for physical experiences, the swimming pool embodies order, the control of nature, and also a form of collective dreaming linked to modernity, well-being and intimacy. It reveals itself as an ambivalent place, capable of evoking serenity as much as solitude, light as much as emptiness, luxury as much as ruin. Against a backdrop of climate crisis and dwindling resources, the exhibition also explores the paradoxes surrounding water management and inequalities in access to this vital resource. It offers a critical and poetic interpretation of the swimming pool as an icon of Western societies, whilst highlighting the alternative narratives it can convey: q***r, political, or linked to memory and the passage of time.

ARTWORK SPOTLIGHT | ‘Private Diaries’ 2026 | Khaled Jarada (Khaled Jarada

Across a series of 23 ink-on-paper drawings, Khaled Jarada offers a glimpse into his visual diary as a Palestinian in France. Created over the past year, this deeply personal body of work moves between intimate, private moments and witnessing violence, tracing the artist’s emotional and psychological landscape between Gaza and France. The drawings become a space of memory, displacement, and witnessing, documenting both the personal and the political as they unfold through the artist’s everyday life.

‘Private Diaries’ (2026) is on view at Green Art Gallery, Dubai, as a part of our exhibition ‘Private World’. On until 24 October.
