Between 1931 and 1937, an international network based in Paris fought against fascism for the freedom of art: the group Abstraction-Création, whose fluctuating membership numbered as many as ninety, including Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Alexander Calder, Barbara Hepworth, and Piet Mondrian. This is the first exhibition on this pioneering association of artists since the 1970s.

As a center of the avant-garde, Paris became a last refuge as nationalist movements spread to every part of Europe. Since there was virtually no market for abstract art, the members of Abstraction-Création were forced to create their own organizational structures independent of the salons and galleries. This multigenerational, liberal, progressive, and visionary group set about uniting all the different strands of nonobjective art. The whole spectrum is on display in this exhibition, from rigid compositions and Purist grids to vibrant, organic-looking forms at play. And seven contemporary artists from around the world demonstrate that the topic is as timely as ever.

SUPERFLEX’s new installation of One Two Three Swing! is presented by The Office of the Commissioner for Europe and International Organisations of the Brussels-Capital Region (CEOI) and its partners as a call to unity and dialogue in a time of conflict and polarization.

As Denmark assumes the Presidency of the Council of the European Union this July, a powerful new artwork by the internationally acclaimed artist collective SUPERFLEX will be unveiled in front of the European Parliament in Brussels. Stemming from a Memorandum of Understanding between the CEOI and the European Parliament, the installation is the result of a curatorial collaboration between The Artists’ Parliament, Creator Projects, and SUPERFLEX which will transform the Esplanade Solidarność into an engaging space for reflection, connection, and collective action. Designed as both a public installation and a symbolic intervention, the artwork aims to spark awareness, provoke dialogue, and reawaken a shared sense of responsibility.

One Two Three Swing is part of The Artists’ Parliament’s program, a public space exhibition project curated by Joël Benzakin and Jeanne Mouffe to mark the rotating presidencies of the Council of the European Union. The chosen European contemporary artists represent their country with an exhibition on the Esplanade Solidarność in front of the European Parliament and following the calendar of the rotating presidencies.

One Two Three Swing! is co-curated by Simon Friese, director of Creator Projects. Creator Projects aims to foster impactful art projects that enrich public space. Based in Denmark and working globally, Creator Projects partners with visionary artists, cities, and institutions to realize bold, thought-provoking works in public environments.

Sky High Farm’s inaugural biennial, TREES NEVER END AND HOUSES NEVER END, signals the start of a new chapter for the organization as it expands to a new 560-acre farm. Curated by the farm’s founder and board president, artist Dan Colen, and named after an artwork by its first staff member and farmer who passed away in 2014, the exhibition explores the connection between local ecology, history, and industry in the Hudson River Valley and their ties to New York City. Standouts include Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ billboard work Untitled (It’s Just a Matter of Time), installed on 24 billboards along the Hudson River from Troy to the New York Harbor; Anne Imhof’s industrial water containers that form a labyrinth, which holds other artists’s work; and Rudolf Stingel’s largest mirrored floor installation, serving as a pedestal for other works, including Pia Camil’s fountain made from joined dead apple trees that guides water into Imhof’s containers. Rooted in the farm’s community-centered mission to tackle issues like nutrition security and systemic injustice, the exhibition shows what can happen when art, agriculture, and activism come together, combining the transformative work of artists with the impact of a justice-oriented organization.

Rirkrit Tiravanija in Homage: Queer Lineages on Video at Columbia University's Wallach Art Gallery

Rirkrit Tiravanija
June 27 - October 19, 2025 | The Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University Lenfest Center of the Arts

Curated by Rattanamol Singh Johal, Homage: Queer Lineages on Video presents works by seven contemporary artists selected from the Akeroyd Collection who use moving images to pay tribute to cultural figures and histories that have been formative, if often (but not always) overlooked. 

The works in the exhibition, all made over the last two decades, explore how lens- and time-based media have enabled artists to articulate desiring and melancholic modes of relationality across generations. 

Intervening in commemorative genres of image making—including portraiture and documentary—through performative acts, selective appropriation, and imaginative staging, these works produce and problematize queer forms of kinship. 

Artists in the exhibition include Dineo Seshee Bopape, Tony Cokes, Carolyn Lazard, Kang Seung Lee, P. Staff, Rirkrit Tiravanija, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

Petra Cortright in Sunset Strip at Gathering, Ibiza, presented in collaboration with Société

Petra Cortright
June 24 - September 1, 2025 | Gathering, Ibiza

Sunset Strip, a group exhibition presented in collaboration with Berlin-based gallery SOCIÉTÉ, brings together seventeen international contemporary artists from the galleries’ rosters, including Petra Cortright, Tamara K.E., Wynnie Mynerva, Bunny Rogers, Tai Shani and Marianna Simnett, whose works span diverse mediums such as ceramic, textile and painting. Much like Sebastian Riemer’s HOCKNEY 1967 A Bigger Splash, which reimagines the sun-drenched nostalgia of David Hockney’s iconic imagery, Sunset Strip draws on motifs of Ibiza and island life—pool tiles, tropical flora, bold hues, tourism, and solitude—to reframe the island’s magnetic allure, inviting viewers to consider the island as a foamy, salt-sprayed liminal home for contemporary art.

Fiona Banner in 'In Other Worlds: Acts of Translation' at the Roberts Institute of Art

Fiona Banner AKA The Vanity Press
June 24 - September 12, 2025 | Roberts Institute of Art, London

Developed in collaboration with Focal Point Gallery, In Other Worlds: Acts of Translation brings together over 25 works, some of which have never been shown in a public gallery before, from the David and Indrė Roberts Collection.

In Other Worlds: Acts of Translation considers translation as an act of movement and transformation. At a time when anything can seem open to interpretation, yet nothing appears to hold the exhibition asks: how do we engage with multiple perspectives without collapsing into relativism? How can we communicate across distances while still recognising differences? How do we engage with others — people, histories, ideas — without assuming full knowledge or easy equivalence?

The works in this exhibition show that to translate is not only to carry something across (the root meaning of the word), but also to expose its limits, its gaps and its generative possibilities. Translation is always partial, always unfinished, and in never being complete, it offers an ongoing commitment to the world and to others.

Petra Cortright: Paper-Thin Wood Veil Wide Range Hop Suisse!

Petra Cortright
June 21 - October 10, 2025 | Zeughaus Teufen, Switzerland

Petra Cortright looks at the Appenzellerland with a keen feeling for digital aesthetics and the courage to beauty - without ever having been there. The starting point of her new series of works is the image database of Appenzellerland Tourismus AR with more than a thousand photographs that reflect the visual self-image of a region between staging and idyll. The entrance was given to the artist on 1. June 2023. Cortright, one of the most important voices of digital painting, feeds these images into her personal archive of brushes, filters and textures. This results in projections, textile views and, for the first time, works on wood – shimmering, multi-layered compositions that are reminiscent of impressionistic landscapes but are produced purely digitally. Her works are considered a contemporary counterpart to Monet: it paints quickly, directly, with Sofiware instead of paint. What emerges is a radical view of our own - not critically, but lovingly: "For the first time, I cannot make the pictures more beautiful," said Cortright in the zoomcall, "the reality with you is already too beautiful." A plea for beauty – and for a new vision.

Charline von Heyl: The Road to Ruin at The George Economou Collection, Athens

Charline von Heyl
June 14, 2025 - March 2026 | The George Economou Collection, Athens

Across three floors of gallery space, The Giddy Road to Ruin will feature select works from the last several decades. The earliest is an outstanding painting from the George Economou Collection—an emblematic example of the artist’s practice—Untitled (11/93, I) (1993), while the most recent is her first-ever photographic work, Athens, made in 2024.

Charline von Heyl is one of the most significant painters of her generation. Educated in Germany in the 1980s and inspired by both senior artists and contemporaries—including Martin Kippenberger, Rosemarie Trockel, and Michael Krebber, as well as Albert Oehlen, Jutta Koether, and Cosima von Bonin—her work began to carve out new territory, particularly after her move to New York in 1996. While her paintings share the rigor and intensity of theirs, von Heyl’s work eschews irony in favor of a more openly amused humor and a certain nimbleness in the synthesis of mind and hand.

Charline von Heyl: The Giddy Road to Ruin is co-curated by Adam D. Weinberg and Skarlet Smatana, the director of The George Economou Collection, in close collaboration with the artist. A publication with essays by Weinberg and artist Helen Marten will accompany the exhibition.

Artist Jonny Niesche takes us on a tour of his home

Jonny Niesche | Esquire

by Amy Campbell

One of the most exciting names in contemporary Australian art right now, Niesche has exhibited all over the world, from Ibiza to Amsterdam to Germany, where he was the official artist for the 2024 Munich Opera Festival. Just this year, Gucci handpicked him to reimagine its iconic silk scarves and archival motifs as part of the Italian fashion house’s 90 x 90 project. His work is held in the collections of some of Australia’s biggest institutions, the NGV, MCA and MONA among them.

But we’re not here to talk only about the work Niesche makes. In addition to being a successful working artist, he is also an avid collector. The collection he and his wife Amber have built, which brightens the walls, floors and surfaces of their two-story home, contains some of the most significant names in contemporary Antipodean art.

Uta Barth in Split Diopter 2, curated by Jan Tumlir and Reza Monahan, at SCI-Arc Gallery, Los Angeles

Uta Barth
June 6 - July 20, 2025 | Southern California Institute of Architecture Gallery, Los Angeles

Uta Barth, Field #9, 1995

Split Diopter 2 explores the relationship between fine art and cinema, as well as the impact of technical optics on creative practice. This exhibition disassembles the cinematic apparatus of the “waking dream” into a collection of parts: still frame, action sequence, mise-en-scene, soundtrack, film reel, promotional poster, etc.—each of which is assigned to an individual work of art. Navigating this array of objects in the space of the gallery, viewers are enjoined to imagine their own filmic narrative, while also reflecting on its material means of construction.

Split Diopter 2 features works by Uta Barth, Matthew Brannon, John Divola, Alex Israel, William E. Jones, and Hedi El Kholti. A soundtrack has been composed for the exhibition by Eyvind Kang. Also included is a dance video shot with a split diopter lens, choreographed by Brian Golden and performed by Jas Lin, Madison Ostrach, and Euseon Song. Finally, Split Diopter 2 presents a documentary in which artists Stan Douglas, Lynne Marsh, Patti Podesta, Jeffrey Stuker, and Liam Young discuss the influence of cinema on their respective practices.

*Split Diopter 2 is based on Split Diopter held at Chapman University’s Guggenheim Gallery and Co-Curated by Guggenheim Gallery Director, Marcus Herse.
