Structured around trailokya, the three realms of spiritual existence, the show unfolds across the gallery’s multi-storied building, each dedicated to its own domain: the netherworld, earth and heaven.Ho, known for his incisive reflections on temporality, presents three major works created over the last several years: “Night March of Hundred Monsters” (2021), O for Opium (2023) and the over 40-piece suite of Timepieces (2023).

Jeane Terra, a Brazilian visual artist from Minas Gerais, based in Rio de Janeiro, opened her solo exhibition, "Pele do Rio" ("Skin of the River"), at São Paulo's Janaina Torres Gallery. The exhibition digs into themes of endings and erasure that Terra's work is all about. Mixing it up with painting, sculpture, photography, and video art, she creates this dialogue between her own memories and the collective vibe of the Amazon, giving form to both pain and hope in her art."I became a memory prospector," Terra says, which really captures her process of hunting down and giving new meaning to stories. "Pele do Rio" hits home the urgency of capturing what's here and gone, turning ruins and memories into something precious. By diving into places marked by shared loss, like the Amazon, Terra's ai...

A new solo exhibition by Thai artist Kantapon Metheekul, better known as Gongkan, is set to open at Tang Contemporary Art, just in time for Art Basel Hong Kong. Titled Asynchronous Affinities, the show is a play on the proverbial idea of “right person, wrong time” as a point of departure, using it as a lens to explore the delicate ambiguity of interpersonal relationships, social situations and contemporary life at large.This body of work marks a new chapter for the Bangkok-based painter, as he approaches social criticism and individual development in universal scenes of celebration, eating and play. The delightfully uncanny vignettes expand on the artist’s oeuvre which follows the journey of a young boy – a representation of himself – as he drifts between cosmic spaces, cross-cultural cont...

In the century since the invention of quantum physics, the field has made an indelible mark on the way we view the world. From the exponential progression of Schrödinger's cat in 1935 to Microsoft’s newly discovered state of matter in 2025 alone, it's safe to say that the forward path toward uncharted quantum territory leaves a plume of questions regarding the future of humanity.At Kraftwerk Berlin, Turner Prize-winning artist Laure Prouvost explores the complexity of quantum phenomena in a new exhibition, WE FELT A STAR DYING, housed within 37,600 square feet of the former power station. Born out of two years of research with a quantum computer, Prouvost translates cosmic questions, theories and frameworks into a multi-sensory audiovisual environment, completed with scents and sculptural ...

Pol Taburet’s latest exhibition, Oh, If I Only Could Listen, signals a compelling shift in his artistic approach, exploring the interplay between violence and stillness, tension and detachment.At 28, Taburet has established himself with his striking use of color, hybridized figures and dynamic compositions that merge airbrushing, acrylic and oil techniques. However, this new body of work moves away from the vibrancy of his previous pieces, embracing darker, muted tones that evoke themes of limbo, loss and unspoken narratives. Drawing inspiration from Francisco Goya’s Black Paintings and the personal grief of losing his grandmother, Taburet creates images imbued with an underlying sense of violence  -- yet, intriguingly, devoid of any explicit act of aggression.Taburet himself acknowledges ...
