BILBAO, SPAIN Guggenheim Bilbao Gego’s mastery of materials is superlative, so much so that the pieces almost appear to exist of their own volition.
Martín Soto Climent
MEXICO CITY Museo de la Ciudad de México The act of non-imposition remains a priority for Soto Climent, who lives and works in Tepoztlán, a small mountain town about 90 minutes south of the city, where he is in close contact with nature.
Satpreet Kahlon
BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON Bellevue Arts MuseumWith a muffled soundtrack of poetry and music running through the darkened space, Kahlon’s exhibition became a total experience, immersing the viewer in an unsettling, unstable place, a site of exodus and arrival, captured in random flashpoints.
Sarah Lucas
LONDON Tate Britain Two monumental cast concrete marrows, Florian and Kevin (both 2013), greet visitors at the entrance to Tate Britain. These blatantly phallic forms are a fitting precursor to “Happy Gas,” an exuberant, if irreverent, survey of Sarah Lucas’s practice over four decades.
Through Negotiation: A Conversation with Shirley Tse
Recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s 2023 Educator Award For more than three decades, Shirley Tse—longtime CalArts faculty member, Guggenheim Fellow, and Hong Kong representative to the 58th Venice Biennale—has created sculptural interventions that interrogate notions of place, politics, and ecology.
Anne Wu
BROOKLYN Smack Mellon Descendants of Bauhaus or De Stijl interiors, Wu’s sculptures assert bright, clean lines and use commonplace industrial materials. They evoke Fred Sandback’s 1999 description of his geometric yarn sculptures as “drawing that is habitable” and prompt associations or recollections.
Radical Honesty: A Conversation with Shary Boyle
Shary Boyle has had a dynamic international career, yet, somehow, the United States is just catching on to her captivating interdisciplinary work. Boyle, who represented Canada in the 2013 Venice Biennale, works fluidly across many modalities.
Crossed By Time: A Conversation with Hugo Aveta
For Hugo Aveta, who works and lives in Córdoba, Argentina, time, ghosts, and memories become conceptual raw material. In his devastated, dehumanized scenarios—realized through photographs, videos, sculptures, models, drawings, sound installations, and immersive, site-specific works—what persists is the echo of what was and will never return.
Rhea Dillon
LONDON Tate Britain Metaphorical storytelling lies at the core of Dillon’s work, and in “An Alterable Terrain,” she applies that approach to sculpture, overlaying expressive narrative onto the language of minimal abstraction.
Georg Baselitz
LONDON Serpentine With their alarming height and imperfect, seemingly unfinished surfaces, which lend a strangely animated quality, Baselitz’s figures present a perplexing dichotomy. They are clumsy and anatomically skew-whiff, yet winningly vulnerable.
