From touring massive eroded sculptures, collaborating with Pokémon on his very own mini episode to being appointed as the creative director for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Daniel Arsham hasn't left many boxes unchecked over the past 20 years. Throughout it all, gallerist Emmanuel Perrotin has played an essential role in nurturing the New York-based artist's growth to the meteoric status he's at today through a range of exhibitions at his global outposts. To celebrate their 20-year partnership, next month Perrotin will host a dual exhibition of Arsham's work at its Paris and New York locations. With space and materiality in mind, the show will explore many key moments within Arsham's career, particularly an upcoming collaboration with Star Wars, such as a series of new eroded sculptures made ...

Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson has been selected to represent the U.S. pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale. Born in Colorado and now based in Upstate New York, Gibson is the first Indigenous artist to be chosen for the honor and will create a number of monumental new installations for the event as part of an exhibition commissioned by the Portland Art Museum in Oregon and SITE Santa Fe in New Mexico.Defined by chromatic hits of color overlaid with haiku-like messaging, Gibson's artwork challenges the lack of Indigenous representation in visual culture. Not reserved to one particular medium, the artist utilizes a range of materials and subject matter, from glass, beads, steel and paint to American, Indigenous and Queer histories — resulting in artworks that exude the hybrid nature ...

Amongst the many trends to come and go within art over the past few years, immersive exhibitions were certainly some of the most viral. One of the major companies behind these events, Lighthouse Immersive Inc., has filed for bankruptcy. First reported by Bloomberg, the Toronto-based company, which operates shows on the wildly popular event on Vincent Van Gogh, as well as similar iterations on Mozart, Monet, Frida Kahlo and King Tut, filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy in Delaware in an attempt to protect its U.S. assets. Having launched in 2021, "Immersive Van Gogh" has exhibited across the world in cities, such as Toronto and New York — sparking a league of imitators and even being featured in the hit Netflix series, Emily in Paris. While the organizers of the event were able to sell over 250...

The Brooklyn Public Library is currently celebrating its fabled son, Jay-Z, in a multimedia exhibition dubbed, The Book of HOV. The free show presents a curated selection of images, art and ephemera spanning his nearly three decade career across music, business and philanthropy. Also on view is an immersive mural that was commissioned by Roc Nation and created by British artist, Jazz Grant.Much like his metaphorical lyrics, the mural is riddled with symbolism — from the Marcy Projects where he grew up in, archival images of his early rap days to a myriad of never-before-seen artwork and ephemera that Grant meticulously hand-cut in his signature collage aesthetic.

David Zwirner is gearing up to launch "Fold Me," Wolfgang Tillmans' fourth solo exhibition at their gallery in New York. The exhibition showcases Tillmans's artistic vision through select photographic works that inhibit the idea of simultaneous experiences in life. "Fold Me" features entirely new artwork by the artist, following his major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. Tillmans's work in "Fold Me" centers around the concept of folds, where the inside and outside converge, leaving physical imprints. He explores the interplay of chance and control, process and time, as he captures the act of seeing through photography. "My work is informed and sustained by acknowledging and enduring the extremely low probability of making a good picture. That does not mean that everyt...

Op Art pioneer Bridget Riley is showcasing a series of her emphatic wall paintings at Galerie Max Hetzler's Potsdamer Straße location in Berlin. The show will consist of 13 works in total, more than half of which have been loaned out from public collections from around the world. For over 60 years, Riley has interrogated what it means to see. By distilling perception to its constituent elements — color and shape, light and shadow, composition and depth — the British artist has challenged the traditions of painting and the very notion of representation. By the late-1960s, Riley had started experimenting with the relationship between minimal color palettes on a colossal scale — an inquiry that persists to this day. Each wall artwork looks deceptively simple, but reveals itself to the onlooke...

Since its founding in 1960, Pace Gallery has always held innovation as the core principle that dictates which artists and exhibitions the gallery curates. Over the past seven decades, a number of legendary figures have filled its halls, from Sol Lewitt, Hank Willis Thomas and Lee Ufan to Mary Corse, Agnes Martin and James Turrell. British painter Pam Evelyn is the latest to join the list and will be the youngest ever to do so.At just 27 years of age, Evelyn only received her master's degree last year from London's Royal College of Art, but has quickly ascended up the fine art world like few others in recent memory through a visceral approach to abstract painting that is rooted in "instinct and impulse," as she's previously stated in the past.
