OXFORD, U.K. Ashmolean Museum In Wright’s colorless, spectral ensembles, each object has an equal status within the ritual of daily life. Her sons are no more significant than the sofa and floor that support them; the food in the fridge, though indicative of essential sustenance, of no higher value than the unit that contains it.
Berenice Olmedo
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA BAMPFA Using what she describes as discarded devices intended for replacement, correction, and support as a primary material, Olmedo constructs hauntingly beautiful, defiantly non-normative figurative sculptures.
Solange Pessoa
GLASGOW Tramway Pessoa’s choice of “Pilgrim Fields” as the exhibition title beautifully captured the feeling of earthy spirituality encapsulated by this low-lying sculptural landscape, while at the same time evoking journeys and the interconnectedness of our world.
Klára Hosnedlová
BERLIN Hamburger Bahnhof Here, immersed deep within Hosnedlová’s sculptural imagination, and despite the dystopian undertones, the environment feels safe enough, and choice still operative.
Ann Hamilton
SALTAIRE, U.K. Salts Mill The immensity should, perhaps, be overwhelming, or difficult to deal with, but it is not. Viewers effortlessly enter the fabric of the work, becoming part of its subtle interweaving of time, people, and space, as mind and body are touched by sound, color, and texture.

Liz Larner
NEW YORK Anton Kern Gallery Perhaps Larner is able to better illuminate, by way of cold metal abutments that strike at the core of material and form-based juxtaposition, that which is visually sensuous and apposite for organic-seeming sculptural objects. Indeed, her most pleasing forms are those that appear to be collected from nature and hardly contrived.
Steve Locke
NORTH ADAMS, MASSACHUSETTS MASS MoCA Locke may be acting as witness, but he is also an artist. The work’s interpretive moment occurs in the neon words, “a dream,” which hover over the list of the dead. Which dream, and who gets to dream this dream?
Boston Public Art Triennial
BOSTON Various locations Ten years in the making, “The Exchange” (on view through October 31, 2025) offers a case study in impactful temporary public art that thoughtfully serves local communities while also warranting the attention of a broader audience.
Keith Tyson
MÄNTTÄ, FINLAND Serlachius Serlachius provides two very different perspectives on Keith Tyson’s “Universal Symphony.” While the elevated observation point offers a sweeping overview, disclosing what appears to be a grab bag of objects, the proximity afforded on the gallery floor amends and contradicts that original impression.
