Pierre Huyghe’s “UUmwelt,” at MoMA The Museum of Modern Art, presented on freestanding screens throughout the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, uses machine learning to explore what it might look like if nonhuman entities could reconstruct our thoughts. The title is a riff on the German scientific term umwelt (environment), referring to the idea that every species perceives the world according to its distinct physical characteristics.

The work is activated in real time by the gaze of visitors to the Sculpture Garden (which are detected by a sensor) and data collected from virtual simulations of cancer cell mutations. These results determine the creation of new images and their sequencing on the screens, drawing metaphorical connections between the limitless proliferation enabled by algorithmic systems and metastatic growth.

“UUmwelt” remains on view through 29 November 2026.

A new exhibition at Nasher Sculpture Center takes on the concept of memento mori through its intimate ties to creation, death, and remembrance, employing taxidermy to enliven something that has perished and transform living nature into still life.

In “Bruce Nauman: Identical,” his first exhibition organized by a Texas museum, Nauman presents recent sculptures and drawings depicting animal forms that build upon his long-term investigation of his own role as an artist and his daily practice in the studio. The exhibition features a group of polyurethane, silicone rubber, and plaster-cast animal forms fabricated from elements the artist had in his New Mexico studio, as well as a selection of related silverpoint and goldpoint still life drawings.

“Bruce Nauman: Identical” goes on view from 19 September 2026 to 21 March 2027.

Leonor Antunes‘s “the homemaker and her domain II” at Kula explores the spatial, historical, and gendered realms of society.

Antunes’ practice provides a unique contemplation on modern art, architecture and design through a reinterpretation of sculpture in a given space. Inspired by important figures in the realm of creation in the 20th century, and often influenced by female protagonists, her work begins by measuring features of architecture and design that interest her. She then uses these measurements as units which can be translated into sculpture. Embracing traditional craftsmanship from around the world, she employs materials such as rope, leather, cork, wood, brass, and rubber to create unusual forms.

“the homemaker and her domain II” ” ends soon; be sure to visit before the exhibition concludes on 5 September 2026.

Please join us on Thursday, 3 September, from 6:30 – 8 pm, at Marian Goodman Gallery Paris for a book signing with Annette Messager.

Messager will sign copies of “Une hirondelle ne fait pas le printemps,” the catalogue accompanying her exhibition at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, published by the museum together with Dilecta. The signing will take place in the presence of Colin Lemoine, curator of the exhibition.

Organized in collaboration with the museum and its bookshop, the event coincides with Messager’s solo exhibition at Marian Goodman Gallery Paris, “Histoires des oreillers,” which reopens on 1 September and continues through 26 September.

The exhibition brings together a selection of the artist’s historic and iconic works, their narratives turning on the romantic imagination and the secrets of intimacy. Within them, romantic relationships shift between tenderness, fear, and even menace — for Messager, those who love one another are bound to each other, their embrace as much a protection as a confinement.

“The Ark” at Powerhouse Arts brings together nearly 90 animal sculptures by some 50 contemporary artists in a celebration of the natural world and a conservationist cri de cœur, writes Brian P. Kelly in The Wall Street Journal.

Bruce Nauman’s towering “Two Leaping Foxes” (2018) is an eerily acrobatic assemblage of tumbling taxidermy forms in which a pair of the petite canines pirouette, balancing massive deer and caribou above them.

It’s no surprise that a show that draws its name from a story of environmental disaster ruminates on death, Kelly continues. Actual dead pigeons make up Maurizio Cattelan’s “Ghosts” (2021), the taxidermied critters posted as sentries around the rafters of the cavernous space in which the show is staged. I saw the work at Paris’s opulent Bourse de Commerce several years ago; here the mood of these silent watchers is more dour, grittier, showing that even a topic as indelible as mortality is susceptible to atmospheric influence.
The Ark at Powerhouse Arts continues through 30 August 2026.

Palazzo Grassi – Pinault Collection presents a screening at Il Teatrino of “Such a Morning (2017, 85’)” by Amar Kanwar, in celebration for his solo exhibition “Co-travellers,” on view at Palazzo Grassi until 10 January 2027. The artist and curator Jean-Marie Gallais will be present.

The screenings, which take place on 28 and 29 August, offer an opportunity to explore a central aspect of Kanwar’s practice, in which images, documents and testimonies become tools for reflecting on memory, political violence, justice, and forms of individual and collective resistance.

“Such a Morning” is a contemporary parable on the search for truth. Its protagonist, a renowned mathematician, suddenly abandons his life and retreats into a decommissioned railway carriage, transformed into a dark space for an intense journey of self-discovery. From this experience emerges an “Almanac of Darkness,” a series of studies into different forms of darkness, through which Kanwar reflects on ways of reinterpreting the present and imagining new forms of thought and action.

The theater offers free entry until capacity is reached, though tickets are required for admission to the exhibition. For more information please visit pinaultcollection.com.

Marian Goodman Gallery would like to wish Álvaro Urbano a very happy birthday today!

Urbano’s “Zwischenzeit” is an installation at Biennale Gherdëina 10 composed of an historic street lamp from the former DDR with strewn leaves beneath it. Each of the leaves has been sculpted in metal and handpainted, showing different seasons through the change in colors in the foliage.

The street lamp flickers and dimms in random sequences, simulating an inner dialogue or perhaps an intimate conversation. This responds to Urbano’s questioning of the secret lives of objects and artworks, and how they would behave as autonomous characters.

The luminic rhythm gently induces the viewer in a state of contemplation, illuminating surrounding artworks and casting a nocturnal ambience across the exhibition space. With this work Urbano deepens his interest in bending the limits between reality and fiction, proliferating speculative narratives derived from everyday artifacts.

“Zwischenzeit” can be seen as part of “(Future) Paradise Gardens” at Biennale Gherdëina 10
📅 Through September 13, 2026
⛰️ Val Gardena, Dolomites, Italy

“Steve McQueen is one of the best artists we have, whatever medium he chooses. He never gives you what you expect, and whatever you think you know about him, he always takes you somewhere else.” – Adrian Searle, The Guardian, 2024

In Steve McQueen’s “Atlas,” his first solo exhibition in the Netherlands at De Pont Museum, four works unfold as a journey from the personal to the cosmic – from the intimate to the collective and from physical presence to the immensity of the universe. The exhibition reveals McQueen as both filmmaker and thinker, intertwining art, film and lived reality.

The exhibition presents the new work “Atlas” (2026) – created for the exhibition– and the institution’s recent acquisition, “Sunshine State” (2022). Alongside the sound work “Untitled” (2025) and the photo series “Bounty” (2024), these works form a powerful ensemble in which McQueen explores the boundaries of space, memory, imagination and time.

“ATLAS” ends very soon - be sure to see it before it closes on 30 August.

For most of its history, painting has depended on a simple arrangement: The work is hung on a wall, a viewer stands in front of it, and meaning is made somewhere in between.

Julie Mehretu has spent three decades making that arrangement feel inadequate, writes Stephen Mooallem. Her large, abstract works metabolize maps, architecture, fire, uprising, migration, capitalism, and power without illustrating them in any classically representational way. They swarm, fracture, blur, collide—and somehow capture the experience of living in a world that often feels like it’s taking shape and coming apart at the same time.

We are thrilled to launch Marian Goodman Gallery’s fall season with a solo exhibition of new work by Edith Dekyndt which will be on view from 10 September - 24 October 2026.

Edith Dekyndt’s debut exhibition with the Gallery, titled Notes on What is What, comprises painting, drawing, sculpture and video. Focusing on an assemblage of materials and their qualities, Dekyndt enacts time-based processes upon objects culled from their original environment, creating catalysts for transformation and change.

Our opening reception for Edith Dekyndt, which will also celebrate the opening of a solo exhibition by Tony Cragg, will be on 10 September from 6-8 pm. We look forward to seeing you.
