The Nina Menocal Gallery's review of the Venice II Biennale! If you did not go read Nina's insights!

2026-10-21T12:20:00.766-04:00

Fun insights to read by Nina, Menocal about her trip to Venice. .

Souvenirs from Venice II, Warhol of Arabia and postcards from the flea market

Spain pavilion, a journey around the world, babies everywhere, Japan pavilion

I liked Warhol of Arabia at the Venice Biennale ; I found it hilarious that he refused to travel in Economy Class. Well, it finally arrived, and they've already given it a big exhibition; they've put on his iconic Marilyn Monroe and Mao Zedong works. I loved the Spanish Pavilion ; it was like a journey around the world through postcards found at a flea market—birds, flowers, butterflies, all that life is. It covered hall after hall with postcards; a lovely idea, very well done, a beautiful installation.

Serpentine Pavilion 2026, Lanza Atelier on view till October 25, 2026! Details below!

2026-10-20T10:51:49.395-04:00

The lineup listed is interesting for all. Details below.

LAST CHANCE TO SEE

THE SERPENTINE PAVILION 2026, BY LANZA ATELIER | SERPENTINE SOUTH | ON VIEW UNTIL 25 OCTOBER 2026

This year's Pavilion was designed by the Mexican architecture studio LANZA atelier, founded by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo. This groundbreaking commission, first launched in 2000 with Dame Zaha Hadid, has introduced the UK’s inaugural structures by many of the most influential figures in international architecture.

LANZA atelier emphasises the role of design in everyday interactions and identifies the pursuit of beauty as a recurring theme in their work. The Mexico City-based architecture studio founded by Isabel Abascal and Alessandro Arienzo, has anchored the 2026 Serpentine Pavilion on the English architectural feature known as a serpentine, or crinkle-crankle, wall. The wall derives its stability from its curving form, requiring fewer bricks than a straight wall. The name of the Pavilion, a serpentine, is inspired by this feature, which makes up the Pavilion’s south wall and subtly references the nearby Serpentine Lake, whose gentle curve evokes the form of a serpent.

The north wall of the structure is in dialogue with the surrounding landscape, curving around the nearby tree canopy. A translucent roof allows light and air to permeate the space, softening the boundary between enclosure and openness. The roof rests lightly on brick columns which evoke a grove of trees.

LANZA atelier chose brick as the primary material to celebrate the distinctly English garden tradition and establish a conversation with the existing brick façade of the Serpentine South Gallery, which was originally built as a tea pavilion. The Pavilion is constructed from a rhythmic repetition of brick columns that transform the wall from opaque to permeable.

PUBLIC ART | JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO: PÉNÉTRABLE BBC JAUNE (1999; 2023 EDITION | SERPENTINE SOUTH | ON VIEW UNTIL 25 OCTOBER 2026

Serpentine features the presentation of a public sculpture by Jesús Rafael SOTO, launching a dynamic summer programme in the park. Situated in the vicinity of Serpentine South, Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) is on show until 25 October 2026. This is the first outdoor presentation of the artist’s work in the UK. Art situated in the park has become central to Serpentine’s year-round activities, extending its exhibitions beyond the gallery walls and into the surrounding landscape.

Pénétrable BBL Jaune (1999; 2023 Edition) exemplifies the artist’s lifelong interest in movement, space and tactility. Born in Venezuela in 1923, SOTO became one of the leading exponents of kinetic art and created more than seventy Pénétrable sculptures of various sizes and colours throughout his seven-decade long career: works composed of metal rods and nylon strands suspended in space through which viewers are invited to enter.

Glass House Presents | Concert in a Landmark

Adam Tendler: Piano Works

Saturday, November 21, 2026

Concert: 4:00 - 5:00pm

Reception: 5:00 - 6:00pm

St. Mark’s Episcopal Church

111 Oenoke Ridge

New Canaan, CT 06840

INFO + TICKETS

In partnership with The Friends of Music at St. Mark’s

“You will be moved, profoundly and intensely.” — The New York Times

Join acclaimed pianist Adam Tendler for an hour-long concert in New Canaan’s modernist St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, designed by Sherwood, Mills and Smith and completed in 1961. Tendler will perform selections from his GRAMMY®-nominated project, Inheritances alongside other works. All are invited to a reception following the performance.

After his father’s unexpected death, Tendler received his inheritance as a literal wad of cash in a parking lot—an encounter that became the catalyst for a groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind contemporary music phenomenon that has touched listeners from across the globe. Inviting a wide-ranging group of composers and sound artists, including Devonté Hynes, Laurie Anderson, Missy Mazzoli, and Nico Muhly, among others, Tendler asked each to respond to the idea of “inheritance,” resulting in a deeply personal yet universally resonant body of piano works that explore lineage, memory, loss, and place, and form a meditation on how we confront the past while shaping the future. Inheritances earned a 2026 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Solo and has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS Sunday Morning, among publications and broadcasts worldwide.

As a recording artist, Tendler has been featured on Wild Up’s GRAMMY®-nominated anthology of Julius Eastman’s music, and has also released albums of music by Franz Liszt, Robert Palmer, and of his own original work. In 2026 alone, he recorded for artists as wide-ranging as Nelly Furtado, Devonté Hynes, Michael Fiday, and Ellis Ludwig-Leone.

St. Mark’s Church was designed to express Gothic principles in a modern design. The triangular vaults of the roof are supported by thirteen white, reinforced-concrete columns, each 40 feet tall. The soaring space includes modern stained-glass designs by American artist Odell “Billie” Prather and a 42-foot-tall reredos created by sculptor Clark Fitz-Gerald. St. Mark’s, which was listed in 2021 on the National Register of Historic Places, is considered essential to the context of New Canaan’s midcentury-modern architecture.

About the artist

A “daring pianist” praised for his “adventurousness and muscular skill” (The New York Times), GRAMMY®-nominated artist Adam Tendler has been called “the hottest pianist on the American contemporary classical scene” (Minneapolis Star Tribune), “relentlessly adventurous” (Washington Post), a “remarkable and insightful musician” (LA Times), an “intrepid… maverick pianist” (The New Yorker), and “one of contemporary classical music’s most intentional and daring pianists” (Seven Days). CBS Sunday Morning’s Lee Cowan said of Tendler on a recent segment seen by approximately 7 million people, “If you’re a cutting-edge composer these days, you want Adam to perform your pieces.”

A pioneer of DIY culture in classical music, at age 23, Tendler performed solo recitals in all fifty states as part of a grassroots tour called America 88×50, the subject of his memoir, 88×50. He has since become one of classical music’s most recognized and celebrated artists, receiving Lincoln Center’s Emerging Artist Award, the Yvar Mikhashoff Prize, and appearing as soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra, LA Phil, Sydney Symphony, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, NJ Symphony, Vermont Symphony Orchestra, as well as on the main-stages of Carnegie Hall, the Barbican Centre, Royal Festival Hall, Sydney Opera House, BAM, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Tanglewood, and other leading series and stages worldwide. Tendler is a Yamaha Artist and serves on the piano faculty of NYU.

This event is supported in part by the New Canaan Community Foundation.

The Friends of Music at St. Mark’s enriches the life of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and the broader community through the promotion of God’s immeasurable gift of music. We sponsor both choral and instrumental works throughout the year in the beautiful and acoustically acclaimed setting of St. Mark’s. We welcome all lovers of music to join us to experience the artistry of our performers and the hospitality of our post-concert receptions.

Glass House Presents is an ongoing series of talks, performances, and other live events that extend the site’s historic role as a gathering place for artists, architects, and other creative minds.

Three Works
by
Athena LaTocha

Athena LaTocha’s practice begins with sustained attention to place—to the narratives, materials, traces, and forces that accumulate within a landscape over time. Translating what is often intangible into physical form, her works forgo straightforward depiction and instead absorb and reflect something of their histories.

Working with ink, soils, demolition sediment, artist-made charcoal, paper, lead, and sound, LaTocha subjects her various mediums to processes of tension, contact, erasure, accumulation, and transformation. Her surfaces bear the marks of both place and body: evidence of what has been encountered, touched, displaced, or left behind. History becomes an immaterial material, layered and carried forward, and made perceptible through matter.

Presented within the industrial architecture of Mana Contemporary’s Biergarten Gallery, these three works invite a physical encounter. Their monumental scale requires viewers to move across and around them, taking in their surfaces gradually and bodily. Yet despite this substantiality, a striking vulnerability remains. Paper, metal, pigment, and sound register the fragility of contact, reminding us that even seemingly solid things remain susceptible to pressure, change, and time.

PHILLIPS’ LONDON SALES OF MODERN & CONTEMPORARY ART TOTAL £21.5 MILLION

Saturday Sale Led by Georg Baselitz and Michelangelo Pistoletto, alongside a World Auction Record for Hassan Sharif

Charlotte Raybaud, Senior Specialist, Head of Sale, Director, Modern & Contemporary Art, London, said, “We were delighted with the results achieved in today’s sale, led by Georg Baselitz’s Transmission, which achieved more than four times its pre-sale estimate, and Michelangelo Pistoletto’s Donna sullo sgabello, which more than doubled its estimate. Andy Warhol’s Lenin also achieved three times its pre-sale estimate, further demonstrating the strength of the contemporary blue-chip market. We were also pleased to see an auction record for Hassan Sharif, alongside excellent results for auction newcomers Emma Prempeh, Kaloki Nyamai, and Justin de Verteuil. Ahead of this week’s sales, we were thrilled to broker the private acquisition of 22 works from the Dartington Hall Collection for the nation, supported by Art Fund. The energy of Frieze Week has been electric in the saleroom, and we look forward to carrying this momentum into our Vente Art Moderne & Contemporain et Design in Paris on 21 October.”

Houston Museum of Fine Art will debut ~David Hockney :Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away).Details below

2026-10-18T15:25:42.796-04:00

In March 2027, MFAH Hosts U.S. Debut of David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), an Immersive, Filmic Journey through the Artist’s Life and Career

David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away). Photo by Justin Sutcliffe © David Hockney

Houston, Texas – October 7, 2026 Boldly experimental in his work and unabashedly

positive in his worldview, David Hockney (1937-2026) was one of the world’s most

influential artists, freely embracing multiple careers as a painter, printmaker,

photographer, filmmaker and stage designer. In March 2027, the Museum of Fine Arts,

Houston will host the U.S. debut of David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away).

An immersive, gallery-size projection that allows visitors to see the world as if

through Hockney’s eyes, Bigger & Closer offers a unique portrait of the artist,

transcending the conventions of documentary filmmaking to bring viewers

into a deeper understanding of his art. The installation will be on view at the

MFAH from March 7 through September 6, 2027.

“Having had the joy and privilege of collaborating with David Hockney over the years,

I am especially pleased that we will host this marvelous journey through the artist’s

life and work,” comments Gary Tinterow, director and Margaret Alkek Williams chair of the MFAH.

“While visitors in the UK and Asia have been able to experience this remarkable coproduction with London’s Lightroom, our presentation will be the first opportunity for U.S. audiences.” Consistently fascinated with the possibilities of new media, David Hockney embarked in 2020 on a remarkable collaboration with the dynamic videographers at Lightroom, the London-based production house that produces artist-led

digital environments. Together, they created David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) as a dynamic,

immersive 50-minute journey through 60 years of Hockney’s art, which premiered in London in 2023.

David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) was created by David Hockney and Lightroom, London, in collaboration with Mark Grimmer, David Hockney Studio, and the composer Nico Muhly.

The Fremin Gallery New York~This is the Real World~ November 19, 2026- January 17,2027. Opens 11/19 6pm.

2026-10-18T14:03:32.132-04:00

A visual exploration of near death experiences featured artworks by Lina Condes, and Karl Largesse,

Karl Lagasse - "Ascension of Christ" - 79" x 22" - Aluminum, Mirror Polished, Pure White Carrara Marble, Plexiglass - 2026

In the summer of 2024, gallery owner Emmanuel Fremin was hospitalized and had a Near-Death Experience (NDE) spanning four distinct realms and a life review. Medical personnel subsequently confirmed that he had passed away briefly while in transit via ambulance.

This profound experience inspired the exhibition, "This is the Real World," a personal artistic exploration of near-death experiences, consciousness, and the mystery of what happens after our death.

Please be advised that the exhibition "This is the Real World" will run from November 19th to January 17th, 2027. We will also be hosting an artist reception on Thursday, January 19th at 6:00 PM.

RSVP at info@fremingallery.com.

Lina Condes

Lina Condes is a contemporary American-Ukrainian artist known for her distinctive stick-figure sculptures. She earned her MFA in Fine Arts, Interior and Furniture Design from the Kyiv University of Technology and Design. Born in the countryside of Cherkasy, Ukraine, she grew up in a family of professors of physics and mathematics, an environment that sparked her early fascination with structure, materials, balance, and the physical world—ideas that would later inform her sculptural practice.

Condes’ work is conceptually positioned along a heavy-light, high-low axis. Using industrial stainless steel, fiberglass, wood, and stone, she transforms everyday materials into expressive human forms that explore the emotional, psychological, and spiritual lives of contemporary people. Her sculptures are strongly inspired by the Italian Renaissance, particularly its profound relationship between anatomy, movement, beauty, and the human spirit. Through anatomical studies, Condes investigates the lineage of traditional figurative sculpture by masters such as Giorgio Vasari and Leonardo da Vinci, reinterpreting these traditions through contemporary technologies and materials.

At the heart of Condes’ practice is an exploration of mental states, emotions, energy, and consciousness. Her figures often appear suspended between physical strength and emotional vulnerability, reflecting the constant balance between the material and the spiritual. Her interest in meditation, and spirituality has increasingly influenced her approach, bringing ideas of inner balance, mindfulness, connection, and positive energy into her work. The simplicity and openness of her figures evoke a sense of movement and freedom, while their gestures and proportions suggest moments of reflection, harmony, and human connection.

For Condes, sculpture becomes a way of exploring the relationship between the body, mind, and spirit. She approaches metal and wood as though they were bronze and marble, transforming industrial materials into vessels for emotion, energy, and contemplation. Her work ultimately seeks to communicate a sense of lightness, optimism, spirituality, and good energy—an invitation to pause, reconnect, and experience the world from within.

Karl Lagasse

Karl Lagasse is a renowned Franco - American contemporary artist and sculptor, best known globally for his iconic “One Dollar” sculpture series. Born in Paris on April 4, 1981, into a family of artists with French and Armenian roots, he rose to prominence for translating pop iconography and American symbolism into striking, thought-provoking metal sculptures. By 2009, Artprice ranked him among the top 10 sculptor artists in the world under 30.

Lagasse began experimenting with plastic arts and collage at the age of seven with his mother. As a child, he met the renowned French sculptor César Baldaccini, who encouraged him to pursue art. During his teenage years, Lagasse ventured into street art, creating graffiti and tags throughout the Paris Metro. Under the guidance of Yvaral Vasarely, son of Victor Vasarely, he began incorporating his graffiti tags into structured collage work. He sold his first professional artwork in Antwerp at just 15 years old.

A profound turning point in Lagasse’s life came after a violent street confrontation in which his life was saved under extraordinary circumstances. Following this experience, which he describes as a miracle, Lagasse found Jesus and experienced a deep spiritual awakening. This encounter with faith profoundly influenced his perspective on life, purpose, and creativity. His journey from the streets of Paris to a renewed spiritual path became an important part of his personal story, adding a deeper dimension to his exploration of freedom, identity, hope, and the human experience through art.

Today, Lagasse’s work continues to merge the energy of street art with contemporary sculpture, drawing upon popular culture, urban aesthetics, symbolism, and his evolving spiritual perspective. His art reflects both the intensity of his early experiences and a continuing search for meaning, transformation, and transcendence

30th Fulton Street Arts Fair Brooklyn, October 17-18, 2028

2026-10-17T16:00:13.509-04:00

How to conduct yourself

Here's a haiku for you:

Now: Conduct yourself
like electricity or
a bold symphony

Because...isn't is amazing that you can? My prayer for you is that you always choose to get your spark back. We have work to do, and you deserve to enjoy yourself while you're doing it.

This is my second time participating in Gowanus Open Studios, an annual art crawl in Brooklyn and the borough's biggest celebration of local art. Hundreds of artists across dozens of venues will open their studio doors to the public this weekend. I will exhibit with my fellow Fulton Art Fair members at St. Lydia's (309 Bond St.). Stop by so I can talk with you about my work and so you can see my latest projects. Tell a friend!

You can also see my art exhibited at Hamilton Landmark Galleries (467 W 144th St.) through the end of November. I showed my work there with fellow Jamaican artist Ava Tomlinson as part of the annual Harlem Open Studios Art Tour. I loved chatting with folks who stopped in to see us. I think that's my favorite part of being an artist--meeting wonderful people.

I've got some new poems out in the word and you can find them in Winter in America (Still and PREE Literary Magazine. Check them out and tell me what you think!

Remember, you are a symphony. One of creation's beautiful songs. Act accordingly

Peace & Blessings,
Keisha

Photo from 2024 Taverna Rebetika (494 Greenwich St) by Jon-Paul Rodriguez

On Saturday, October 17, an evening of Rebetika and Smyrnaiko music will take place at the Anita Rogers Gallery, at 494 Greenwich Street, New York, to mark 10 years since the inauguration of the gallery.

Titled Taverna Rebetika 2026, the evening will feature plenty of Greek food, wine, music, kefi – and a glendi for all to enjoy.

In an interview with The National Herald, the founder of the Gallery and president and founder of British American Household Staffing, Anita Rogers, reflected on her love and personal connections to Greek music, as well as the significance of hosting such an event that unites the community through rebetika.

“I’m very close to that part of Greece, and that culture of Greece. It’s in my blood, my veins, my heart – so I want to share it with everybody,” Rogers told TNH.

Artist Robert Szot and Gallery Director Elizabeth Thompson discuss Szot’s current exhibition Dust Do Shine.

Robert Szot

Dust Do Shine

Anita Rogers Gallery is pleased to present Dust Do Shine, a solo exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Robert Szot. The exhibition, Szot’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, will be on view September 23 through October 31 at 494 Greenwich Street, Ground Floor, in New York City. The gallery hosted an opening reception with the artist on Wednesday, September 23.

Dust Do Shine marks a significant development in Szot’s practice. While his work has long been characterized by complexity, movement, and layers of visual information, the new paintings introduce larger forms, greater restraint, and more defined spatial structures. Together, the works balance intensity with quiet, and bold color with areas of openness and reflection.

Across the exhibition, Szot builds his surfaces through layers of color, metal leaf, drawing, and repeated revision. Large fields of color are interrupted by fragments of charcoal and drawing, buried passages of color, scraped paint, and weathered edges. Rather than beginning with a fixed image, Szot develops each work through a process of adding, obscuring, removing, and revisiting elements of the composition.

The visual focus of the show is the dialogue between three 74-inch-high paintings: High Looks, Arcadia, and August Complex. Together, the works demonstrate the range of Szot’s approach in this new body of work. High Looks is marked by electric chromatic density, while Arcadia, the largest work in the show, measuring over 8ft wide, introduces an expansive, gold-toned surface. August Complex brings a more concentrated arrangement of color and form. Though distinct in character, the three paintings share the scale, structure, and material experimentation that define the exhibition.

This relationship to materiality remains central to Szot’s practice. The exhibition brings together works made with oil, metal leaf, and charcoal. In works such as Arcadia and Wonders Greatly Reduced, reflective surfaces are not decorative effects, but sites of pressure, interruption, and light. The works on paper extend this language at a more intimate scale, offering concentrated encounters with the same concerns: buried structure, damaged color, and the tension between immediacy and restraint.

In Dust Do Shine, surfaces are not polished into resolution. Szot allows the history of each work to remain visible. Layers are built up, altered, and partially revealed, creating surfaces that shift between density and openness, color and abrasion, reflection and shadow. They become luminous through pressure, time, and repeated acts of looking.

Robert Szot and the gallery will publish a catalog in conjunction with the exhibition; click here to learn more.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Robert Szot has exhibited his work extensively across the United States, including galleries in New York, Los Angeles, and Texas. His paintings and works on paper are held in numerous private and public collections, including the Credit Suisse Collection. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

For further information and photographs, please contact Elizabeth Thompson at elizabeth.thompson@anitarogersgallery.com, or call 347.604.2346. The gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10am–6pm

Eclipse of the Sun Now Spotlight

Rufino Tamayo, Perro aullando a la luna (Dog Howling at the Moon)

Rufino Tamayo believed that “the artist is an antenna. . . . Art is fundamentally a message, a means of communication.” In this painting, he transmits the anguish of World War II. As in George Grosz’s Eclipse of the Sun, Tamayo’s composition features a celestial body, bones, the color red, and a claustrophobic sense of space. The howling dog references Pablo Picasso’s anti war painting Guernica (1937) and Mesoamerican funerary statuettes that served as guides to the underworld.

The Old First Ward is where our founder, Chris Kameck, grew up, and it's a neighborhood that means so much to both of us. That makes Saturday's Old First Ward Arts & Heritage Festival especially meaningful, a chance to celebrate this community and bring people together through art.

We're especially grateful to Assemblyman Patrick Burke for his generous support in helping make this festival possible and for his continued partnership with Art Resource and TENfold Gallery. His commitment to this neighborhood reflects a belief we share: that the arts enrich community life and create welcoming opportunities to learn, connect, and create.

This Saturday, we're thrilled to support Mirabo Press and Eat Off Art, the artist-run organizations currently on view in our Connector Gallery, by welcoming them to share their talents with you through free, hands-on workshops!

Saturday, October 17
Art Resource & TENfold Gallery's Connector Gallery

2–4 p.m. | Relief Printing with Mirabo Press
Join Rachel Shelton and Sudi Wang to roll ink, print by hand, and create your own work using pre-carved relief blocks. Leave with a finished print and inspiration to keep creating!

4–6 p.m. | Button-Making & Coloring with Eat Off Art
Turn your creativity into something you can wear! Design your own buttons, explore color, and enjoy an afternoon of making with the artists behind Eat Off Art.

Come for one workshop or enjoy both, explore the work on view in the Connector Gallery, and spend some time enjoying the festival throughout the neighborhood.

Bring a friend and your creative spirit, we'll bring the supplies!

A Space to Share, A Place to Connect

Our Connector Gallery is an extension of our mission: supporting artists, making art accessible, and strengthening the creative community around us. By sharing this space with artist-run organizations like Mirabo Press and Eat Off Art, we introduce visitors to the people, ideas, and opportunities behind the work.

We want you to find a print you love, learn about a workshop, follow an artist, or connect with an organization you hadn't known before. Each connection helps support the artists who make Western New York such a vibrant place to live and create.

SAVE THE DATE!

Join us next Friday, October 23, from 7–9 p.m., to celebrate the opening of Commotion, a solo exhibition by Buffalo artist Kyle Butler.

We've loved following Kyle's creative process as our first Intensive Resident through The Raft Residency, presented in partnership with Mirabo Press and established in honor of Elisabeth Samuels. Now, we're thrilled to welcome you into the gallery to experience his work and celebrate this next chapter with us.

Meet Kyle, explore the exhibition, and enjoy an evening of art and conversation with our creative community. We can't wait to share Commotion with you!

Friday, October 23 | 7–9 p.m.
TENfold Gallery

RSVP

In Commotion, Kyle Butler takes the familiar visual language of the built environment, roads, fences, signs, industrial structures, architectural fragments, and overlooked back lots, and pushes it somewhere less familiar.

Butler's new paintings begin with imagery captured through mapping software. That imagery is distorted, manipulated, and reconstructed before being translated into paint, creating compositions filled with broken text, competing spatial cues, and fragments of recognizable places that never quite settle into a single view.

The exhibition expands beyond painting to include unique screenprints and large-scale monoprints developed at Mirabo Press, as well as sculptural installations incorporating layered fields of chain-link fencing.

Across painting, print, and sculpture, Commotion asks what happens when the structures designed to organize our surroundings begin to distort, overlap, and break apart.

FROM RESIDENCY TO EXHIBITION

The Raft Residency was created by Art Resource/TENfold Gallery, Mirabo Press, and the family of Elisabeth Samuels. Our goal was to honor Elisabeth's incredible work as an artist, educator, curator, gallerist and champion of the arts, and as a way to invest more deeply in the artists and ideas we bring into our spaces.

The program began with exhibition booklets produced in conjunction with projects by DJ Carr and Abe Ferraro, creating a lasting record of their exhibitions and extending those projects beyond the gallery.

This year, The Raft Residency took its next step.

Kyle Butler became the first artist to undertake The Raft's intensive residency component, spending a concentrated week at Mirabo Press developing new work through screenprinting, monoprinting and collaboration. During the residency, Butler created unique prints and large-scale monoprints that extend the visual vocabulary of his paintings into new materials and processes.

Some of those works now return to TENfold as part of Commotion, and Butler will also create an exhibition booklet through The Raft, continuing the publication component established with Carr and Ferraro.

For us, this is what The Raft Residency is about, supporting artists not only when the finished work reaches the gallery wall, but during the experimentation, collaboration and making that happens before it gets there.

From residency to exhibition, and beyond.

Prune Nourry~Visionaries, Petit Palace, Palace celebratng little know women sculptors. October's lecture on the 23rd. from 12:30-1:30. Celebrate women in art ,

2026-10-15T10:30:29.984-04:00

VISIONNAIRES, PETIT PALAIS, PARIS

À l’invitation du Petit Palais, Prune Nourry met en lumière, dans l’exposition
« Visionnaires», des sculptrices méconnues ou oubliées. Malgré des contraintes sociales et un accès limité aux formations artistiques, ces pionnières sont parvenues à s’imposer dans un milieu majoritairement masculin.

Invited by the Petit Palais, Prune Nourry pays tribute to little-known or forgotten female sculptors in Visionnaires. Despite social constraints and limited access to artistic training, a handful of pioneering women succeeded in making their mark in a predominantly male field.

La collection du Petit Palais en témoigne : à peine quatre pour cent des œuvres conservées ont été réalisées par des femmes. De la galerie des sculptures au jardin, les dix-huit portraits créés par Prune Nourry ravivent la mémoire de sculptrices de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle.

À la demande de l’artiste, trois historiennes de l’art ont rassemblé les écrits et les portraits photographiques de sculptrices ayant vécu ou travaillé à Paris. Parmi elles figurent Sarah Bernhardt, Hélène Bertaux, Selma Hortense Burke, Daria Gamsaragan, Käthe Kollwitz, Jane Poupelet, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry et Wang Jingyuan.

The Petit Palais collection reflects this: barely four percent of its works were created by women. From the sculpture gallery to the garden, the eighteen portraits created by Prune Nourry for the spaces of the Petit Palais bring to life a panoply of female sculptors from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

At the artist’s request, three art historians collected writings and photographic portraits of female sculptors who lived or worked in Paris at that time, a cosmopolitan artistic capital. These include Sarah Bernhardt, Hélène Bertaux, Selma Hortense Burke, Daria Gamsaragan, Käthe Kollwitz, Nancy Elizabeth Prophet, Consuelo de Saint-Exupéry and Wang Jingyuan.

Inspirée par la puissance de leurs créations et la force de leur engagement, Prune Nourry met à l’honneur leur parcours à travers des portraits monumentaux dont le style synthétique affirme une présence forte.

En écho à la collection de sculptures du Petit Palais, l’artiste choisit le plâtre pour la réalisation de ces bustes inédits. Chacune des visionnaires possède des yeux en marbre inspirés de la statuaire polychrome du Petit Palais.

Inspired by the power of their creations and the strength of their commitment, Prune Nourry pays tribute to their careers and choices in monumental portraits stripped back to their essentials to let their presence speak for itself.

She chose plaster to echo the Petit Palais sculpture collection, and marble for the eyes, drawing on the museum's polychrome statuary.

À travers son œuvre, Prune Nourry poursuit son travail en faveur de la visibilité et de la reconnaissance des femmes dans l’histoire de la sculpture.

Through her works, Prune Nourry seeks to increase the visibility and recognition of women in the history of sculpture.

BOOTH FEES: A New, Fairer Booth Pricing Structure for 2027

For 2027, we are replacing the previous block reservation system with a new Premium, Standard, and Value booth pricing structure that recognizes the reality that not every Festival location experiences the same level of patron traffic. Rather than paying an additional fee to reserve a particular block, you can now choose the booth category and price point that makes the most sense for your artwork, sales expectations, and budget. You are welcome to request a preferred block or location on your application, and we will do our best to accommodate those requests within the booth category you select; however, specific block and booth placements cannot be guaranteed. Our goal is to create a system that is more transparent, equitable, and flexible while continuing to thoughtfully place artists throughout the Festival.

Premium Booth (Booths 600-630 & 900-944): $875 (10'x10' inline) | $1000 (10'x10' Corner) | $1300 (10'x15' Inline) | $1500 (10'x15' Corner) | $1750 (10'x20' Inline Corner) | $1875 (10'x20' Corner)
