“David Lamelas: The Machine” at Dia Chelsea is an exhibition comprised of three parts—a presentation, a film program, and a performance series. A foundational yet overlooked figure of 1960s and ’70s art, Lamelas has produced paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, and films, bridging Conceptual, Minimalist, and Pop approaches to art making.

Join us at Dia Chelsea, open Wednesday through Saturday, from 12–6 pm to experience the artist’s variety of works on view. Be sure to stop by our program space, now showing the third chapter of this program: three short films directed by Lamelas.

“What really intrigued me were the possibilities in painting itself.”— Robert Ryman⁠
⁠
Robert Ryman pursued a range of techniques throughout his career and was preoccupied with ways of letting paint engage with surface. He approached a painting’s underlying support as a stage for the performative display of brush marks, strokes, and the exploration of texture. Thus, each work is a surface rather than a “picture."⁠
⁠
Explore the various textures in Ryman’s works up close at Dia Beacon, open from 10 am–5pm, Friday to Monday. Plan your visit today at diaart.org/visit. ⁠

“Simple ideas become obsessions, almost like a meditation.”— Mary Heilmann (1940–2026)

“It is just not my inclination to make small work.”— Michael Heizer⁠
⁠
The concept of negative space is critical to Heizer’s work. His work “North, East, South, West” (1967/2002) at Dia Beacon presents form as the separation of void and solid mass. The volume of this sculpture is described as absence rather than presence.⁠
⁠
As special experience to take in the magnitude of the work, Dia offers a guided, 20-minute walk-through behind the glass of “North, East, South, West” at 9:30 am, Friday through Monday, before the museum opens to the public. Tours are free with museum admission and limited to a maximum of 6 guests. Visit https://diaart.org/collection/collection/heizer-michael-north-east-south-west-19672002-2003-174-1-4 for more information and to make your reservation. ⁠

“There are five senses, and thought is the sixth.”— Alighiero Boetti

Intuitive thought informed the four decades of work on view at Dia Beacon, in which the artist employed industrial techniques and craft traditions alike to explore language, systems, geopolitics, time, and notions of dichotomy.

Experience the defining tenets of Boetti’s expansive oeuvre in this recently opened exhibition at Dia Beacon. Open Friday through Monday, 10 am to 5 pm. Plan your visit at diaart.org/visit or via our link in bio.

Add a stop at Dia Bridgehampton to your summer plans on Long Island. The first floor currently features “Alan Ruiz: De sol a sol,” a new site-responsive commission by artist Alan Ruiz. Engaging with daylight as a concept, a material, a resource, and a political force, the works in ”De sol a sol” point to the layered sociopolitical conditions of the East End of Long Island.

On the second floor is a permanent installation of nine works created by Dan Flavin between 1963 and 1981. Dia Bridgehampton is located at 23 Corwith Avenue, Bridgehampton, New York. Open Friday–Sunday, 11–5 pm (closed 2–2:30 pm daily). Admission is free.

Now open: “Richard Tuttle: Half-Light” at Dia Beacon.

For over five decades, Richard Tuttle has been loosening the boundaries between painting, poetry, and sculpture to realize a materially light, conceptually rich body of work. Conceived in close dialogue with the artist, “Richard Tuttle: Half-Light” presents two recent series: the planar ”18 × 24” (2022–23) and the multifarious ”Good Idea” (2025–26).

Experience works that continue Tuttle’s lifelong exploration of the nexus between the verbal and the visual at Dia Beacon. Open Friday through Monday, 10 am to 5 pm.

Hidden in plain sight on West 22nd Street, these sculptures tell the story of a global artwork.

Swipe to learn how 38 basalt columns and trees are part of an ambitious project that spans continents and decades.

The artist Joseph Beuys first initiated “7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks)” in Kassel, West Germany, in 1982, as part of Documenta 7. This initiative was intended to be the first stage in an ongoing project to plant trees throughout the world, as part of a global mission to spark environmental and social change.

In 1988, Dia extended the project to New York.

In preparation for this first iteration in Germany, Beuys arranged for basalt to be brought into Kassel from a quarry outside the city in 1982. Beuys himself planted the first tree with its accompanying stele.

Located on the same block as Dia Chelsea, the portion of 7000 Oaks” in New York City consists of 38 living trees, each paired with a columnar basalt marker measuring four feet tall. Per Beuys’s original instructions, the basalt is imported from the very same quarry that had supplied the Kassel manifestation.

This summer, after a visit to Dia Chelsea and neighboring galleries, we invite you to pause and pay attention to the trees and markers that make up Joseph Beuys’s “7000 Eichen (7000 Oaks).” Located on West 22nd Street (between 10th
