Isa Genzken. Wasserspeier and AngelsHauser & Wirth, London
On view is a revival of Isa Genzken’s expansive installation ‘Wasserspeier and Angels’ (2004), marking 20 years since it was displayed in Genzken’s first major solo exhibition in London. Originally responding to Hauser & Wirth’s former historic space in Piccadilly in 2004, the re-presentation of Genzken’s complex assemblage in the city brings her work into a contemporary context, confronting socio-political themes that are still relevant today. This moment follows on from the acclaimed exhibition ‘Isa Genzken: 75/75’ at Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2023, celebrating the artist’s 75th birthday with a display of 75 sculptures from her oeuvre from the 1970s to the present.

Rajaa Paixão, Rhizomatic Writing in Sculptural Terms
ISEG Lisbon School of Economics and Management is pleased to present Rhizomatic Writing in Sculptural Terms, a solo exhibition of contemporary sculptures and Art & Language drawings by Rajaa Paixão. Doctoral art inquiry including practice-related research with its various terminologies has evolved drastically in the last decade and continues to steer away from models borrowed from other fields of knowledge. Despite some universities offering courses culminating in artefacts that speak for themselves without a mandatory exegesis, written documentation is compulsory at the majority of academic institutions around the world. With post-qualitative research stemming from feelings, experiences and ideas, the voice of the artist-writer is still required to conform to the rigid format of the traditional dissertation structure, template, and development order. Oftentimes, constructing a probe around (a) specific theorist(s), or arguing to answer pre-formulated questions or ‘problems’ demanded by the discourse of research maps the artistic process and limits the originality of the exploration. What does the written thesis look like for authors whose dissertation is essential to the research when hypotheses and theories are gradually constructed following unfolding lines of thought that generate new ideas? The exhibition provides a missing link between the development of artworks in the studio and the written text. It establishes a transition by presenting a visual interpretation of a research methodology in the arts

Ming Smith: On The RoadNicola Vassell Gallery, New York
Nicola Vassell presents Ming Smith: On the Road, a selection of photographs from the artist’s archive that encapsulates the arc of her exploratory impulses as she sought and probed new subject matter and formal innovation from 1970 through 1993. Encompassing never-before-seen vintage and contemporary prints of images captured during her travels around the world, On the Road embodies the spirit of adventure and curiosity that advanced Smith’s singular entry into, and scrutiny of, the provinces of urban existence, nature’s quietude, family intimacy, popular culture, military life, and jazz milieus.

Now You See Us - Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920
Discover the artists who forged a path for generations to come. Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.

Discover the artists who forged a path for generations to come. Spanning 400 years, this exhibition follows women on their journeys to becoming professional artists. From Tudor times to the First World War, artists such as Mary Beale, Angelica Kauffman, Elizabeth Butler and Laura Knight paved a new artistic path for generations of women. They challenged what it meant to be a working woman of the time by going against society’s expectations – having commercial careers as artists and taking part in public exhibitions.
Including over 150 works, the show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history, who were often thought of as amateurs. Determined to succeed and refusing to be boxed in, they daringly painted what were usually thought to be subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude.
The exhibition sheds light on how these artists championed equal access to art training and academy membership, breaking boundaries and overcoming many obstacles to establish what it meant to be a woman in the art world.

Sonia Boyce: FEELING HER WAY
FEELING HER WAY (2022) is an immersive installation consisting of bespoke wallpaper, posters, photography, sculpture, video, and sound, which was awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Best National Participation at the 59th International Venice Biennale in 2022
May 3–September 8, 2024
The PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art is pleased to present the North American premiere of FEELING HER WAY by Sonia Boyce DBE RA.
FEELING HER WAY (2022) is an immersive installation consisting of bespoke wallpaper, posters, photography, sculpture, video, and sound, which was awarded the prestigious Golden Lion for Best National Participation at the 59th International Venice Biennale in 2022
Single and multi-channel videos, photo portraits, and posters punctuate our visitor journey through an environment adorned in exuberantly coloured geometric-patterned wallpaper, one created for each woman. Another key component encountered throughout, are dazzling sculptural elements made to resemble pyrite, a crystalline mineral also referred to as “fool’s gold.” One entire room is inspired by Sonia’s collaborative project Devotional Collection (1999-2022), which consists of an ever-growing archive that pays homage to Black British female musicians and singers, as well as the fans, to whom their work means so much. In this space is a custom gold wallpaper design, and a display of sculptures that consist of items in their original packaging combined with crystalline “fool’s gold” forms. Our faces are mirrored in the reflective surfaces of the sculptures and wallpaper and bring us into the work as members of the listening public.
Trust, agency, and generosity are at the heart of FEELING HER WAY, demonstrating what can happen when these crucial values are established between the artist and her collaborators. The work becomes a giant, multi-sensorial instrument of connection, kinship, and freedom, while also allowing each woman’s unique identity to breathe and resonate. Through a willingness to take risks, what might we learn about ourselves? Might we find our own voices? Could we contribute that voice to a larger chorus? In doing so, might we find freedom?

Eva Hesse. Five Sculptures, Hauser & Wirth 22nd Street, New York
Eva Hesse (1936-1970) transformed the language of sculpture through her pioneering use of alternative forms and materials. Challenging the hard-edged, manufactured aesthetic of the prevailing minimalist movement of her day, Hesse’s use of latex, Fiberglas and industrial plastics opened new possibilities in art. Half a century later, her groundbreaking oeuvre is as potent as it was in 1968, the year of the first and only exhibition of her sculptures held during her lifetime. That there have been some fifteen exhibitions in the decades following her death in 1970 is a testament to Hesse’s continued contemporaneity.

Hauser & Wirth celebrates the 25th anniversary of the estate’s representation by the gallery by spotlighting Hesse’s remarkable achievements in ‘Eva Hesse. Five Sculptures.’ This exhibition, organized by Barry Rosen, longtime adviser to the Hesse estate, in collaboration with art historian and critic Briony Fer, reunites five of her most celebrated large-scale works, all on loan from major American museums and all made in the most intense period at the end of her life from 1967 to 1969. Installed on the ground floor of Hauser & Wirth’s gallery on West 22nd Street, the exhibition will emphasize the breadth, scope and impact of Hesse’s materially experimental and psychologically charged sculptures.

Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In National Portrait Gallery, London
Photographers Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron are two of the most influential women in the history of photography. They lived a century apart – Cameron working in the UK and Sri Lanka from the 1860s, and Woodman in America and Italy from the 1970s. Both women explored portraiture beyond its ability to record appearance – using their own creativity and imagination to suggest notions of beauty, symbolism, transformation and storytelling. Showcasing more than 160 rare vintage prints, Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron: Portraits to Dream In spans the career of both artists – and suggests new ways to look at their work, and the way photographic portraiture was created in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Barbara Kruger, Sprüth Magers, Grafton St. London
The razor-sharp, witty and unmistakable work of Barbara Kruger explores the power of image and word and touches on the dynamics of control, class, corruption and consumerism. For over four decades, her voice and aesthetic have transcended the insularity of the art world and influenced everyday visual culture. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Kruger at the London gallery. The artist’s most recent text-based wall work and series of vinyls will be set in dialogue with a group of ‘paste-ups’—collages from the 1980s related to some of her early and best-known works.

Addis Fine Art presents Amel Bashier’s solo exhibition ورد الجوري ‘Ward el Juri,’ named for her daughter and translating to ‘damask rose.’ The exhibition features new paintings and recent works on paper.
Amel’s works are reflections on the nature and possibilities of freedom. She paints towards the liberation of women, symbolically connecting this emancipation with the growth and persistence of the natural world. The women in her paintings, semi-mythical images of bravery and power, stare boldly back at their viewer. The flowers, leaves, and twisting stems represent the vital force within us, and the promise of flourishing blossoms when adequately nourished and nurtured. Sometimes these natural elements come from memories or stories, which interweave her personal relationships into the narratives of the works.

Heather Day: A Moving Window, Almine Rech, Matignon, Paris
Almine Rech Paris presents A Moving Window, Heather Day's first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Heather Day makes large-scale abstract canvases dappled with the transmuting shades of the natural world. Far from literal evocations of the infinitely mutable atmospheric conditions that she observes at dawn and dusk in her high desert studio, Day’s works take apart and reassemble the medium in order to obliquely but evocatively depict the passing of time and the shifting of seasons.

Heather Day makes large-scale abstract canvases dappled with the transmuting shades of the natural world. Far from literal evocations ofthe infinitely mutable atmospheric conditions that she observes at dawn and dusk in her high desert studio, Day’s works take apart and reassemble the medium in order to obliquely but evocatively depict the passing of time and the shifting of seasons. Titled A Moving Window, this exhibition explores the artist’s immersion in the quotidian yet profound environmental changes that happen every day outside her window. This presentation includes a new group of works from Day’s “Scattering Light” series, first begun in 2022, that examines the ways in which light is refracted through cloud formations. The artist probes the myriad ways that elevation and wavelength impact how this light is received by the human eye. With her saturated, pooling hues of deep red, blue, and orange, the artist interrogates how color and light leave an emotional residue, how sensory perception is intimately entwined with memory and affect.
Working in the legacy of abstract expressionist Color Field painting, Day starts by pouring acrylic over the surface, allowing the pigment to wash and puddle. As she adds different colors, the tints spread and interact with each other, spurring alchemical interactions that are shaped by humidity and the hour of the day. Utilizing supports that far exceed her own height, the artist performatively engages her compositions, continually moving and shifting the canvas, which acts as a stage for not only basins of paint, but the outsized brush marks that sweep briskly across negative space. In some stretches, Day’s stains rest thinly on the canvas, the texture of dyed fabric. In other sections, multiple layers of coloring result in thick heaps. The tension between these consistencies propels the eye around the frame, as do the final chunky dashes and scrapes of paint that dot the surface.
After completing the application of paint, Day cuts the works into long columns or vectors that she will reassemble and sew into entirely new compositions. In Magenta Window, six long vertical bays are sutured side by side, giving the piece a flickering, animated quality. Swoops of magenta are brusquely chopped, their edges butting up against hazy pools of cobalt blue and cadmium orange. The union of each strip laid side by side creates tension and energy between the recorded gestures. Day deconstructs the supposedly unimpeachable canvas surface, breaking up expected painterly tropes, and rejoining them in polyphonic connections.
Included here for the first time are three paintings that introduce a new radial composition in Day’s body of cut works. Vertically oriented, the configurations resemble the layout of a clock, with triangular sections extending from a central point. In Turning Sky, sections of fuchsia, cerulean blue, deep purples, and cranberry red all meet at the center of the canvas. At the upper right, a polygon of light blue rimmed by red and purple flanks another panel that features a darker spattering of crimson with an undulating boundary that reveals a section of blank space. Emphasizing the three-dimensional presence of the pieces, the painted field wraps around the sides of the stretcher bars. Day’s immersive and vivid paintings explore what the artist describes as “the dynamic relationship between the tangible and the abstract.” They offer the viewer a challenging, thought-provoking space in which to survey the affective, resonant, and transporting qualities of form and color.
