LONDON Alison Jacques Employing spiral and mandala motifs, as well as cuts, folds, and layering, these primarily fiber works, which the artist calls “painterly sculpture,” contain a dynamic energy that induces a feeling of flow and movement, experienced as a kind of heady dizziness.

Archaeology of the Self: A Conversation with Mark Manders
Few artists have constructed worlds as singular, cohesive, and quietly radical as those of Mark Manders. For more than three decades, he has been adding to what he calls his “self-portrait as a building”—not a metaphor, but a monumental, ever-expanding structure composed of sculpture, language, and thought.
Ilana Halperin
EDINBURGH Fruitmarket Gallery Halperin’s practice offers a meditation on human and geological life spans, melding our fleeting years on this planet with the vastness of deep time. In bringing the two together, she suggests that they are one and the same, that our relationship with the world we briefly inhabit is defined by connection rather than separateness.
Tentacular Thinking: A Conversation with Nicola Turner
Nicola Turner’s practice is profoundly ecological. She works with waste material—mainly raw, untreated wool—and reuses it wherever possible.

From the Underworld to the Sky: A Conversation with Joan Danziger
Though Joan Danziger’s imagery gestures toward Surrealism, her sculpture resists classification. Her visual language is distinctly her own, drawn from observation, dreams, and the intuitive relationship between matter and fantasy. Over the course of more than 60 years, she has constructed not just forms, but an entire cosmology, one in which imagination serves as the
“MONUMENTS”
LOS ANGELES The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and The Brick Kara Walker, discussing her work with Hamza Walker last year, asked, “Where does it begin to take on a new life that embodies this question of its use value as a monument, as a holder of White Supremacist desire, as a relic of the Lost Cause?
