When people come in, they expect certain things out of a basketball court, and they’re confronted with these lines that don’t quite line up with what they’re used to. My design means that people almost have to find new play patterns within it, until they can acclimate to the space and the work.
Simone Leigh
BOSTON Institute of Contemporary Art Simone Leigh’s first-ever museum retrospective demonstrates her abiding use of clay (and nascent use of bronze) as a material and conceptual means to amplify Black female experiences and the spaces created by Black feminists.
Lucas Simões
CHICAGO Patron Gallery Though his works are deeply informed by São Paulo’s Modernist and Brutalist histories, his works are unburdened by too much rationality. Perfectly molded, dyed concrete forms take on the colors of a sunset—bright, crisp blue; nostalgic, dusty pink; pale, rusty orange.
Daniel Lind-Ramos
NEW YORK MoMA PS1 Cresting a wave, a small boat glides into view, its cargo of colorful talegas piled high on the deck, each sack stamped with a date.

Personal Mythology: A Conversation with Sophie Ryder
“All of Us,” Sophie Ryder’s current exhibition at The Lightbox in Woking, England, near London, features over 50 examples of her anthropomorphic dream imagery—ladyhares, minotaurs, boars, and dogs, as well as dislocated representations of eyes, hands, and feet, all magically juxtaposed across the exhibition space.

Felt History: A Conversation with Abigail DeVille
Abigail DeVille lets objects reveal America’s invisible histories. Her recent solo shows in New York—“Bronx Heavens” (Bronx Museum of the Arts, 2022–23), “Original Night” (Eric Firestone Gallery, 2022), and “In the fullness of time, the heart speaks truths too deep for utterance, but a star remembers.”
Martino Gamper
NEW YORK Anton Kern Gallery In presenting a checkered medley of objects collated under the umbrella category “hooks,” Gamper seeks to show the full breadth of family resemblance—a neo-Wittgensteinian lesson in how one overlapping common feature, form, tethers these diverse objects together.
Concrete Things and Momentary Places: A Conversation with Hu Xiaoyuan
Beijing-based sculptor Hu Xiaoyuan takes a thoughtful, philosophical approach to contemporary art. Both an installation artist and a creator of individual objects, she is as concerned with the idea of form as its physical existence, investigating the three-dimensional as site as well as object.
