Bernd & Hilla Becher
History of a Method
Fondazione MAST, Bologna
Through September 27, 2026
Fondazione MAST presents Bernd & Hilla Becher. History of a Method, a major retrospective dedicated to the German artist couple (1931–2007 and 1934–2015 respectively). Important figures in the history of 20th-century photography, the Bechers developed a visual language based on a rigorous methodological approach, and their influence on contemporary photography is still clearly recognizable to this day. For the first time in Europe, it showcases the methodological and thematic breadth of the couple’s oeuvre. On display in the MAST Galleries are more than 350 original black-and-white photographs, as well as an extensive collection of related materials, including drawings, books and posters, to help provide further insights into the complexity and consistency of the Bechers’ working method.
The exhibition was conceived by Die Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur in Cologne in cooperation with the Bernd & Hilla Becher Studio. It was organized by the Fondazione MAST with a new exhibition project realized in a collaborative effort between the two institutions.

Group Exhibition with Cao Fei, Cyprien Gaillard, Pamela Rosenkranz, and Andro Wekua
New Museum, New York
Ongoing
New Humans: Memories of the Future will inaugurate the New Museum’s expanded building with an exploration of artists’ enduring preoccupation with what it means to be human in the face of sweeping technological changes.

Exhibition
Cao Fei
Fondazione Prada, Milano
Through September 28, 2026
Over the past three years, Cao Fei has immersed herself in farmlands across southern and northwestern China, as well as Southeast Asia, observing and interpreting the emergence of smart agriculture. Combining multiple languages ranging from photography to video installation, from virtual reality to documentary footage, and archival material, the artist traces a complex portrait of a global agricultural technological revolution marked by inherent contradictions. The project reflects on how technology enhances efficiency, reduces labor, and safeguards food security amid climate uncertainty and rural aging. It also explores how algorithms are displacing traditional knowledge, reshaping human-land relationships, and changing rural-urban dynamics, raising concerns about ecology, employment, and cultural continuity.
Exhibition

Exhibition
Nancy Holt
Light and Shadow Poetics
MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House, Los Angeles
Through May 24, 2026
What does it mean to notice how we see? Nancy Holt: Light and Shadow Poetics at the MAK Center at the Schindler House offers an encounter where art and architecture shape perception together. Over five decades, Nancy Holt (1938–2014) explored how we perceive the world, and how language, light, sound, and the built environment shape our sense of place. This exhibition brings Holt’s work into a responsive dialogue with the Schindler House, inviting visitors to experience art and architecture as partners in seeing.
At the center of the exhibition is Holt’s 1972 photographic poem California Sun Signs, which gathers the word “sun” as it appears across California’s commercial and infrastructural landscape. The exhibition also features Holt’s audio work—pieces she described as poems in place—alongside works related to her landmark Sun Tunnels project from the mid-1970s. Together, they invite visitors to slow down, to listen, and to notice how perception itself unfolds through space.
Exhibition
Nancy Holt
MoonSunStarEarthSkyWater
Goodwood Art Foundation, Chichester
Through November 1, 2026
The first major UK presentation of American land artist Nancy Holt (1938–2014) – best known for her Sun Tunnels (1973–76) in the Utah desert – invites visitors to explore art shaped by light, language and space. Works include her early Concrete Poetry, photography, film and two landmark installations that extend into the landscape. Among them is Hydra’s Head, a series of water-filled pools that bear witness to their environment.
Exhibition
Arthur Jafa
Artist’s Choice: Arthur Jafa – Less Is Morbid
The Museum of Modern Art – MoMA, New York
Through July 5, 2026
For this exhibition – the latest in MoMA’s Artist’s Choice series – Jafa has selected nearly 100 objects from the Museum’s collection. Placing things beside one another, he creates relationships between pictures and between their makers: Jean-Michel Basquiat and Cy Twombly; Cady Noland and Mark Rothko; Lygia Clark, Roy DeCarava, and Piet Mondrian. Many of the works share an allover approach to composition in which the picture exceeds its physical frame. Seen together, the installation of works collapses typically opposed ideas and approaches – minimalist/maximalist, sparse/dense, atomic/cosmological, individual/collective – as well as the hierarchies that emerge from this kind of binary thinking.
Exhibition
Arthur Jafa, Richard Prince
Helter Skelter
Fondazione Prada, Venice
Through November 23, 2026
Helter Skelter: Arthur Jafa and Richard Prince is an exhibition curated by Nancy Spector at Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice, which reveals a creative conversation between the work of two prominent American artists, Arthur Jafa (b. 1960) and Richard Prince (b. 1949), that has never been examined before. Born a decade apart, they share an ethos of lawlessness when it comes to the appropriation and manipulation of images siphoned from movies, pulp novels, comic books, YouTube videos, sci-fi stories, album covers, record sleeves, rock ‘n’ roll posters, first-edition Beat volumes, news reels, celebrity memorabilia, and social-media posts. Trafficking heavily in American popular culture, they expose its grit and grift, while embracing many of its myths and perversions. Both artists chart peculiar topographies specific to the United States: Jafa’s reflecting his identity as an African American man, coupled with a mission to invigorate Black cinema and art; Prince’s hovering between a self-conscious critique of white masculinity and a fascination with the underbelly of the American psyche.

Joseph Kosuth
The-exchange-value-of-language-has-fallen-to-zero
Berggruen Institute Europe, Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice
Through November 22, 2026
Berggruen Arts & Culture and the Berggruen Institute Europe present a new exhibition by Joseph Kosuth, a pioneer of American conceptual art. With The-exchange-value-of-language-has-fallen-to-zero, curated by Mario Codognato and Adriana Rispoli, the artist invites viewers to reflect on the role of language in art and everyday life, demonstrating how meaning, context, and perception are inseparable.
Kosuth has a long-standing connection with the city of Venice. He has participated in eight editions of the Venice Biennale and created permanent installations such as The Material of Ornament at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia and To Invent Relations (For Carlo Scarpa) in the Aula Magna Mario Baratto at Ca’ Foscari University. Between 2021 and 2025, he also lived and worked in Venice. This exhibition brings together historical works and a new installation conceived for the main entrance of the exhibition space.

David Lamelas
The Machine
Dia Chelsea, New York
Through January 16, 2027
Dia is pleased to announce a comprehensive survey exhibition of the Argentinian artist’s work and his first major solo presentation in New York. A foundational yet overlooked figure of 1960s and 1970s art, Lamelas has produced paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, performances, and films, bridging Conceptual, Minimalist, and Pop approaches to art making. The presentation at Dia Chelsea comprises three parts—a performance, an exhibition, and a film program. Preceding the exhibition, 1416 m3 (2014) is performed in the galleries on February 18, 2026. Opening on March 6, the nonlinear exhibition emphasizes key moments from the artist’s career, surveying 1965 to the present through a diverse selection of works. In parallel, the films presented in the program space further expand the physical dimension of the exhibition. Together, the three chapters reveal the artist’s lifelong preoccupations with information and communication, and how they are mediated by the viewer’s perception.

Exhibition
David Salle
Painting in the Present Tense
Palazzo Cini Gallery, Venice
Through September 27, 2026
For his exhibition at the Palazzo Cini Gallery, David Salle refocuses a custom-designed AI model on an earlier part of his œuvre, the Tapestry Paintings (1990–91). In doing so, he highlights painting’s ability to collapse multiple temporal realities onto a single plane: “Everything in painting exists in the present tense,” as he says. The original Tapestry Paintings were based on 18th-century Russian tapestries, which were themselves modeled after 16th- and 17th-century Italian paintings. This layering of art history now comes into contact with Salle’s proprietary AI model. Organized around cubist-like grids informed by Salle’s signature inset panels – separate panels cut into and set flush with the surface of the painting, whose presentation of simultaneity has been seen to have anticipated the logic of computer screens – the painted tapestries become grounds over which the artist composes his distinctive poetic juxtapositions.
Exhibition
Nora Turato
they filled me up with words
Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin
Through August 31, 2026
Language – both spoken and written – serves as a primary material in Nora Turato’s work, explored through typography, wall pieces, video, sound, performance, and artist books (notably her pool series). Working with found material from a wide range of sources – the internet, social media, press, books, films, music, and conversations – Turato collects and meticulously rearranges an abundance of verbal content, distilling it to its essence. Turato’s new work, conceived specially for the n.b.k. facade, marks a turning point in her practice – an approach that takes her own body as its starting point – using it both as a source of language and as the basis for her handwriting. Turato investigates the conditioning that shape us, focusing on how these internalized patterns are revealed physically through the hand – seeing handwriting not just a form of expression, but a direct outcome of learned behavior.
Exhibition
WHO’S A GOOD BOY?? – Sammlung von Kelterborn
Group Exhibition
Contemporary Forces, Venice
Through September 27, 2026
Named after Nora Turato’s work, the exhibition opens with a phrase that is both seductive and destabilizing, a command disguised as affection. Rather than confronting power through direct opposition, the exhibition approaches it through modulation, shifting its tone like a composition moving into a minor key. In doing so, it alters the emotional register of authority, introducing tension, hesitation, and instability where dominance once seemed fixed. The exhibition brings together thirteen artists from the Kelterborn Collection, including Joseph Beuys, Gary Hill, Claire Fontaine, Sung Tieu, Ulay, Renzo Martens, Laure Prouvost, Mariana Vassileva, Swen Bernitz, Teboho Edkins, Anke Röhrscheid, and Victor Alarcón. Across their works, authority appears not as spectacle but as a sedimented routine, embedded in language, repetition, atmosphere, and invisible infrastructures of control.

Nora Turato
GIVE US MOM!!!
Adjacent to the High Line at 18th Street and 10th Avenue, New York
May 10–June 21, 2026
High Line Art will present GIVE US MOM!!!, a new billboard artwork by Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato, beginning May 10, 2026, near 18th Street and 10th Avenue in New York. Timed to coincide with Mother’s Day, the work features the phrase “GIVE US MOM!!!” in bright yellow Comic Sans lettering against a vivid blue background, transforming the billboard into a direct and emotional appeal for care, comfort, and human connection. According to curator Cecilia Alemani, the artwork reflects the collective desire for reassurance amid the fast pace and uncertainty of contemporary urban life. Known for her text-driven practice, Turato draws from social media, advertising, headlines, and everyday conversations to explore how language shapes emotion and identity today. Through bold typography and concise messaging, GIVE US MOM!!! captures the anxieties, humor, and vulnerability embedded in modern communication.
Exhibition
Kaari Upson
Dollhouse – A Retrospective
Kunsthalle Mannheim
Through May 31, 2026
American artist Kaari Upson (1970–2021) was one of the most prominent voices of her generation. In her sculptures, installations, videos, and drawings, she questioned the boundaries of memory, identity, and social reality, transforming personal biographical experiences from her Californian homeland into universal human stories. Upson gained international attention through her participation in the 2019 Venice Biennale. Her work was also recognized early on at the Kunsthalle Mannheim, which acquired a piece for its collection in 2020. Now comes the first major museum retrospective in Germany, inviting visitors to an intense encounter with an artist whose work continues to move, disturb, and fascinate us even after her untimely death. Highlights of the exhibition include the large-format dollhouse installation, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS OUTSIDE, and works from her last series, Untitled (Foot Face), which are being shown for the first time.

Kara Walker
Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine)
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – SFMOMA
Through June 7, 2026
Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine)
A Respite for the Weary Time-Traveler.
Featuring a Rite of Ancient Intelligence Carried out by The Gardeners
Toward the Continued Improvement of the Human Specious
by
Kara E-Walker.
Kara Walker has long been recognized for her incisive examinations of the dynamics of power and the exploitation of race and sexuality. Her work leverages expressions of fantasy and humor to confront troubling histories and dominant narratives, repossessing control in the process. Inspired by a wide range of sources, from antique dolls to Octavia Butler’s novel Parable of the Sower, Walker’s new commission, Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine), considers the memorialization of trauma, the objectives of technology, and the possibilities of transforming the negative energies that plague contemporary society. The presentation marks the first time that SFMOMA has commissioned an artist to create a site-specific installation for the Roberts Family Gallery.
Exhibition
John Baldessari
UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing
September 19, 2026–January 3, 2027
John Baldessari, a leading figure of American Conceptualism, reshaped the possibilities of contemporary art through a lifelong investigation into the relationship between image, text, and meaning. Trained as a painter, Baldessari made a decisive turn with the Cremation Project in 1970, in which he burned most of his early canvases. Thereafter, he would redirect his focus toward a more conceptual approach encompassing photography, film stills, video, performance, and collaboration.
Marking Baldessari’s first institutional solo presentation in China, this forthcoming exhibition surveys five decades of his artistic practice—from early experiments with text and image and playful video works of the 1970s, to his cinematic montages of the 1980s, psychological explorations of perception, and austere late works revisiting color, absence, and space. Alongside archival material, maquettes, and artist books, the exhibition highlights Baldessari’s distinctive wry wit and relentless drive to question authorship, narrative, and the systems by which art attains meaning.

Cyprien Gaillard
When you expect flutes, it’s whistles
Kunsthaus Bregenz
June 13–October 4, 2026
For his exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz, Cyprien Gaillard focuses on so called deterrents, subtle measures used in public space to regulate behavior and discourage certain activities. Such strategies are increasingly present in contemporary cities and contribute to the gradual restriction of shared urban space. These deterrents appear in many forms, including barriers that prevent access, deliberately uncomfortable seating, or the use of classical music in transit areas and underpasses to discourage people from lingering. For Kunsthaus Bregenz, Gaillard is developing a new film production together with sculptural interventions conceived specifically for the building and its architecture, examining how mechanisms of control and exclusion shape the experience of public space today.
Exhibition
Jenny Holzer
Wrong Answers
Fundação de Serralves, Porto
June 18–November 1, 2026
Wrong Answers at the Serralves Museum will be Holzer’s first solo exhibition in Portugal. It follows a trajectory from the emergence of her text works—beginning with her iconic Truisms and Inflammatory Essays—to their proliferation across stone benches and sarcophagi, paintings, roboticized LED signs, human bones, and more. At a historical moment when the saturation of visual and written content across media neutralizes and distorts meaning, the show spotlights the simultaneous amplification and devaluation of words, through works that feature some form of eradication. These icons of limiting and lying range from Holzer’s painterly appropriations of redacted government documents to the smashed heaps of her own stone sculptures and electronic signs.
Exhibition
Jenny Holzer
J’ai vu / I Have Seen
Musée d’Orsay, Paris
October 20, 2026–February 21, 2027
Known as one of the most influential artists of our time, Jenny Holzer places words and ideas at the heart of her thought-provoking practice. For the museum-wide activation J’ai vu conceived for and with the Musée d’Orsay for the fall 2026, Holzer offers text fragments from the Musée d’Orsay’s archive and collection period, disseminated across her signature media: monumental installations, projections onto the historic façade of the former railway station, engravings on exotic stone, and luminous electronic displays.
Talk

In this discussion, Hume will explore the evolution of his practice, spanning his iconic Door paintings, his continued experimentation with high-gloss industrial paint and his recent engagements with mortality and memory. Together, they’ll examine the opportunities and dilemmas that have shaped Hume’s distinctive path and his remarkable contribution to contemporary British painting.
Exhibition
Mire Lee
Secession, Vienna
June 26–August 30, 2026
Mire Lee’s work occupies a visceral space where the boundaries between machine, body, and psyche collapse. Her kinetic sculptures are often made with motors, silicone, steel, and lubricants and form organisms that are both tender and grotesque. Moving in convulsive, almost breath-like rhythms, these works suggest an uneasy vitality that hovers between the animate and the alien. Rather than reproducing the human body, Lee exposes its internal logic, its functions, breakdowns, and the systems it depends on. Her installations evoke raw physicality while foregrounding vulnerability, violence, and desire. They often generate a form of affective discomfort, inviting sustained attention without offering resolution. The spaces Lee constructs feel humid and ruinous, operating as conditions of exposure. In these works, movement becomes a language of survival, repair, and persistent vulnerability.
Exhibition
David Ostrowski
The Critic
Kunstverein Heilbronn
May 23–August 23, 2026
Public Reception: May 22, 7pm
David Ostrowski’s solo exhibition The Critic at Kunstverein Heilbronn explores the notion of self-referential critique and the critical demands placed on one’s own artistic production. Borrowing its title from a 1990s American cartoon series, the exhibition invokes the figure of the relentless reviewer and directs that critical gaze inward. A catalogue featuring a text by Hans-Christian Dany, produced by CTMS Studio and published by Snoeck, will accompany the exhibition.
Exhibition
Michail Pirgelis
Kunstraum Dornbirn
July 3–November 8, 2026
Public Reception: July 2, from 7pm
In his artistic practice, Michail Pirgelis approaches the subject of sculpture on multiple levels.

Exhibition
Jon Rafman
Main Stream Media
K21 – Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf
May 30–September 27, 2026
Jon Rafman is one of the most significant artists exploring the digital age, and this exhibition at Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is the artist's first solo exhibition in a German museum. Through immersive, room-filling installations, it provides an overview of Rafman’s work since 2008. In addition to his early works, the exhibition features later pieces such as the feature-length video Dream Journal 2016–2019 (2019), which was shown at the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019. Rafman’s latest work, Main Stream Media Network (2025), evokes the culturally influential MTV of the 1980s with music videos produced using AI software as well as experimental animations. Through his videos, films, and immersive installations, he examines how digital culture reshapes desire, identity, and experience.
Exhibition
Nora Turato
pool8
Bechtler Stiftung, Uster
May 30–October 11, 2026
Conceived as a new site-specific work, pool8 marks the beginning of Nora Turato’s eighth “Pool” cycle. The Amsterdam-based artist structures her practice through recurring bodies of work, which she refers to as “pools”. Within a defined period of time, these bring together different strands of her artistic practice. Following recent solo exhibitions at ICA, London (2025), and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2024), Turato continues her investigation into installations that combine audio, text, and architectural response.
At the Bechtler Stiftung, she uses the pronounced length of the exhibition space to transform the room into an expansive work in which different media intersect. Bringing together sound, perception, and spatial experience, pool8 engages questions of transition, bodily awareness, and the unknown.
Exhibition
Marcel van Eeden
August 6, 1870
Museum für Neue Kunst im Haus der Graphischen Sammlung, Freiburg
June 27–October 18, 2026
In this exhibition, Marcel van Eeden explores nationalism, colonialism, and racism. The starting point is the fate of an Algerian colonial soldier who died in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. His skull was added to the anatomical-anthropological collection of Alexander Ecker (1816–87) for study purposes; the collection is now held by the University of Freiburg.
