“Forecast,” Gabriel Kuri’s current exhibition at the Museo Jumex in Mexico City, is his first institutional survey in the country where he grew up.

Into Cacophony: A Conversation with Michael Dean
Michael Dean’s work begins with words—his own writing, found phrases, nonsensical fragments, and repetitions—which he alters and twists into personalized typographies, then translates into forms in space. The sculptures that give flesh to his texts are as raw, streetwise, and mutable as the words themselves, rooted in his Newcastle-upon-Tyne upbringing and later years in London.

Massimo Bartolini
PRATO, ITALY Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci Massimo Bartolini explores sculpture in a field so expanded that he looks beyond form.

PHILADELPHIA Fabric Workshop and Museum By stacking, binding, and juxtaposing an assortment of formal elements to configure new images and meanings out of the familiar, Taylor coalesces the seemingly disparate objects making up this installation/exhibition into an itinerary of interrelated allusions.
Pepón Osorio
NEW YORK New Museum Osorio’s politically engaged trompe-l’oeil environments hit the nail squarely on the head. They remind us of the importance of things as vessels for memories, sentiments, and ideals.
Lindsey Mendick
EDINBURGH Jupiter Artland Private nightmares become public in this communal space. It’s not a divine comedy, but a very human one, freed from judgment, a morality nightmare upended.
“This Is Out of Hand”
PORTLAND, MAINE Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art & Design One particular resonance of carving, which is especially evident in Nash’s project, is that it parallels geologic processes like erosion, by wind and water, on both vast and near-instant timescales.
Sculpture Eats Iron: A Conversation with Catherine Lee
Catherine Lee has explored abstraction in painting and sculpture, language and writing. Emphasizing materiality and process through idiosyncratic combinations of painting, installation, and sculpture, her works gather in large, familial groups placed on floors or walls.
