В Нью-Йорке открывается выставка видеоинсталляций Джанет Биггс, исследующей затмения и восприятие человека

Janet Biggs explores solar eclipses and human perception in new video installations NEW YORK, NY .- Cristin Tierney Gallery will present Path of Totality, a solo exhibition of new and recent video installations by Janet Biggs. This is the artist's third solo show with the gallery. The exhibition opens Wednesday, September 9th and will be on view through Saturday, October 24th. For decades, Biggs has traveled to extreme environments, using the journey as a framework to explore how physical landscapes mirror the psychological and emotional terrain of human life. Path of Totality extends this inquiry by bringing together two video installations set in vastly different environments: Eclipse (Antarctica, December 4, 2021), 2022–24, and Eclipse (Amazon, September 7, 1858), 2025. Through a juxtaposition of contemporary footage with historical writings, navigational accounts, and inherited memory, Biggs collapses geographical and temporal distance. The ... More Howard Smith survey at Jane Lombard Gallery explores five decades of abstraction NEW YORK, NY .- Jane Lombard Gallery will present Tomorrow isn't Yesterday, a solo exhibition of new and historical works by Howard Smith. Spanning more than five decades, the exhibition examines Smith’s sustained investigation into the singular brushstroke, the painted and unpainted ground, and the capacity of color to shape light and perception. Rather than presenting a chronological survey or tracing the evolution of a style, Tomorrow isn't Yesterday reveals how these fundamental concerns continue to generate new formal capabilities. Reflecting its title, the exhibition considers painting as an ongoing process in which each work emerges through a dialogue between what has come before and what remains possible. At the core of Smith’s practice is the brushstroke, where hand, eye, material, and imagination converge. Working entirely freehand, ... More Fridman Gallery presents Dindga McCannon solo exhibition Yesterday and Today NEW YORK, NY .- Fridman Gallery presents Dindga McCannon’s second solo exhibition, Yesterday and Today, which brings together, for the first time, her groundbreaking mixed-media quilts, paintings, and prints, spanning the 1970s to the present day. On her 18th birthday, Dindga went to see a concert in Tompkins Square Park, where she encountered Sun Ra Arkestra, an alternative band whose performance became a kind of epiphany. That encounter shaped the course of her life and artistic process, cementing music as inseparable from her visual language. Her works emerge intuitively and are in many ways improvised akin to a jazz riff. Born and raised in Harlem and the Bronx, Dindga came of age as an artist and young mother during the rise of the civil rights movement. She began her career studying with Jacob Lawrence, Charles Alston, Richard ... More Stanley Whitney debuts new and recent paintings at Gagosian in Hong Kong HONG KONG .- Gagosian announces Isn’t Love the Strangest Thing, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Stanley Whitney opening at the gallery in Hong Kong on September 10. This is Whitney’s first solo exhibition in Asia. Isn’t Love the Strangest Thing, which features paintings at a variety of scales, from twelve to seventy-two inches square, is named for a jazz standard recorded by Duke Ellington and His Orchestra in 1936, with vocals by Ivie Anderson. This playful song about the unpredictability of romance explores the ways in which falling in love so often entails a disorienting mixture of joy and sorrow. Whitney’s characteristically vibrant abstractions with their heightened awareness of color offer a visual counterpart to the sense of intoxication the song describes. The allusion to jazz—Whitney often references musicians associated with the genre, from Charlie ... More Miles McEnery Gallery showcases twenty-five new single format works by Roy Dowell NEW YORK, NY .- Roy Dowell’s solo exhibition Evidence to the Contrary, showcases twenty-five new single format works composed of vinyl emulsion on linen over panels. The works are meditations on Dowell’s personal cabinet of curiosities, his memory of objects, and living between Mexico City and Los Angeles. Dowell is drawn to this specific medium because it allows each layer of the painting to remain fully visible. By eliminating the concealment typical of the creative process, the work achieves a transcendence of time. While each work shares the same dimensions at twenty-four by eighteen inches, the only other unifying feature that links them is Dowell’s artistic intent. He approaches the creation of each work as an individual, self determining endeavor; resulting in a unique, precious object. Dowell shares in the essay, “An Inventory ... More Alexander Gray Associates presents tribute exhibition to late sculptor Melvin Edwards NEW YORK, NY .- Alexander Gray Associates presents People Make Art: A Tribute to Melvin Edwards, an exhibition that explores the life and practice of the acclaimed sculptor through the work of fifteen artists who knew him. Rather than attempting to define the full scope of Edwards’s (b.1937, Houston, TX; d.2026, Baltimore, MD) artistic community, the show traces one constellation within a far larger universe of relationships, illuminating the generosity, curiosity, and spirit of exchange that animated his work for more than six decades. Featuring paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from 1954 to 2024, People Make Art reflects the extraordinary breadth of Edwards’s artistic engagement and the enduring vitality of his artistic community. The exhibition takes its title from one of Edwards’s characteristically direct observations: “Art doesn't make art, people make art.” ... More Alexander Berggruen presents Danny Fox's second solo exhibition in New York NEW YORK, NY .- Alexander Berggruen presents Danny Fox: Fata Morgana, the gallery’s second solo exhibition with the artist. This exhibition will open Wednesday, September 9 with a 6-8 pm reception at the gallery (1018 Madison Avenue, Floor 3, New York, NY). Danny Fox blends domestic imagery with influences from his natural environment to create eerily striking articulations of the human psyche. His new body of work Fata Morgana explores illusion through optical distortions, ambiguous imagery, and abstracted depth. Across Fox’s recurrent motifs of horses, boats, and interiors, the artist hints at unseen forces of psychology, evident in the figures’ gestures and how they relate to their environments. While spending many hours observing the Cornish coastline, Fox was inspired by the passing ships. His seascapes often resemble the colors and forms of those ... More Jack Shainman Gallery presents Becky Suss exhibition Night House NEW YORK, NY .- Jack Shainman Gallery presents Night House, an exhibition of new work by Becky Suss that continues her exploration of interiority, domesticity and memory. Through paintings of imagined spaces and intimate vignettes, the exhibition marks a departure for Suss in her use of the darkness and quietude of the night as a lens through which to consider the emotional and psychological resonance of space. Suffused with the kind of specificity of detail that comes from the act of remembrance, Suss’ paintings reclaim the night not only as a time of reflection, but as one where perception deepens and self-knowledge can be pursued. Throughout her career, Suss has examined the personal, literary and historical significance of domestic interiors—from her grandparents’ home to the imagined rooms of works of fiction—layering these with a wide range ... More Southbank Centre announces lineup for Creative Intelligence weekend takeover LONDON .- The Southbank Centre today announces further programming for the inaugural edition of Creative Intelligence, a brand new weekend-long takeover exploring the future of art, technology and creativity.

More RR Auction features Hiroshima flight logbook in Remarkable Rarities sale BOSTON, MASS .- From a handwritten account composed aboard the Enola Gay during the Hiroshima atomic bombing mission to Pierre de Coubertin’s working plan for reviving the Olympic Games, RR Auction’s September 2026 Remarkable Rarities sale brings together manuscripts and artifacts tied to consequential moments across modern history. At the center of the sale is Capt. Robert A. Lewis’s mission-used flight logbook from the Enola Gay, containing 25 handwritten pages, including an eight-page account written aboard the aircraft as the Hiroshima mission unfolded on Aug. 6, 1945. Lewis, the Enola Gay’s co-pilot, began his diary with the preflight briefing and takeoff from Tinian and continued recording events as the aircraft approached its target. He ran out of ink during the flight and continued in pencil. After the bomb was released, Lewis described ... More The Southbank Centre presents the UK premiere of Playing With Fire: An Immersive Odyssey with Yuja Wang LONDON .- This autumn, the Southbank Centre unveils the UK premiere of Playing With Fire: An Immersive Odyssey with Yuja Wang, a major new mixed-reality experience and bold expansion of the piano recital, written and directed by Pierre-Alain Giraud. Combining live recital, visual art, mixed reality and virtual reality technologies with spatialised sound, the production places classical music in striking dialogue with virtual worlds, allowing an unprecedented perspective on the performance of one of the world’s greatest living pianists. Running at the Royal Festival Hall from 9 September 2026 to 3 January 2027 as part of the Southbank Centre's 75th anniversary year, Playing with Fire invites audiences to step inside a series ... More
