Silence—Alone in a World of Wounds (2021), created by Studio Morison (Heather Peak and Ivan Morison), resembles a medieval building, or perhaps a shelter from some apocalyptic future in which humans have returned to the land.
Cristina Iglesias
LONDON Royal Academy of Arts Like many of Iglesias’s works, Wet Labyrinth forms a private place in a public space, offering a degree of seclusion and intimacy. It is also a space of memory and imagination.
Unknowable Objects: A Conversation with Niamh O’Malley
Niamh O’Malley, from County Mayo, in the Republic of Ireland, is part of a generation of artists who benefited not only from the pioneering work of artist-led organizations like the Association of Artists in Ireland (AAI) and the Society of Sculptors in Ireland (SSI), but also from the economic boost of the so-called Celtic Tiger, which pumped money into the arts.
Henry Moore
SOMERSET, U.K. Hauser & Wirth Lunar light creates the most unearthly depths and shadows and appears to enlarge silhouettes, its dramatic illusions heightening the sense of wonder and mystery. For Moore, this profound experience at Stonehenge precipitated a career-long investigation into scale, material, volume, and the juxtaposition of art and nature.
Honed Instinct and Measured Chaos: A Conversation with Laura Ellen Bacon
British sculptor Laura Ellen Bacon makes large-scale work by weaving willow. Her dynamic forms, which emphasize the process of making, emerge from a detailed and, to some extent, meditative, almost spiritual approach.

Unsettling Outcomes: A Conversation with Liz Larner
Liz Larner embodies Isaiah Berlin’s classic hedgehog vs. fox dichotomy. As the fox, her view of the world can’t be reduced to a single reading; but like the hedgehog, she has the patience and temperament to follow a singular vision.
Object Lessons: Sandra Eula Lee
Change is constant—everything in the material world is always in flux. Living in different cultures, I’ve observed how materials and objects cycle through everyday space in different ways and at different speeds. What can they communicate about the conditions we’ve created?
Virginia Overton
LONDON Goldsmiths CCA Overton takes on Caro and other heavyweights of this traditionally masculine domain with aplomb, and on her own terms; her new works feature welded steel and hefty brass tubes alongside aromatic red cedar, mirrored disco tiles, and sheepskin, demonstrating a lightness of touch and material playfulness.
Raúl de Nieves
BOSTON Institute of Contemporary Art Whatever the form of de Nieves’s lines—strings of beads, shreds of paper, strokes of paint, or literal threads—they suggest how the present is connected to the past. To pursue his lines is to trail a map of remembrances.
