STUDIOSIS - MICHAEL WILLIAMS
20 JUNE - 02 AUG, 2024
Gladstone presents Studiosis, an exhibition of new paintings and drawings by Michael Williams. The paintings in the exhibition diverge from Williams’ recent choices in materiality and figuration, by utilising exclusively analog modes of mark-making and generating subjects from visual observation.
In Brooklyn
MYTHOS - NICHOLAS BLAKE
21 JUNE - 3 AUG, 2024
Dragon mythologies persist as cultural symbols worldwide, transcending borders and epochs. From the majestic, benevolent creatures of Eastern lore to the fierce, fire-breathing beasts of Western tales, dragons captivate the human imagination. In Chinese mythology, dragons symbolize power, wisdom, and prosperity, while European folklore often portrays them as formidable adversaries to be vanquished. Across cultures like Japanese, Norse, and Mesoamerican, dragons embody diverse meanings—guardians, creators, or harbingers of chaos. Their ubiquity underscores humanity’s shared fascination with the mystical and the unknown, weaving a tapestry of myth and legend that spans the globe.

THE WILD COUCH PARTY AND FRIENDS - GILLIE & MARC @FOSUN PLAZA 09 JUNE - 28 MAY, 2025
One of the most intimate experiences we share as humans is also the simplest, sitting down on the couch together and sharing time over coffee and cake. It’s a time where we can nourish, support, and enjoy time with each other, a time that is cherished by many families all around the world. But not everyone gets to share this same level of love and support. The world is currently experiencing the 6th mass extinction. More and more beautiful creatures are being pushed towards the threat of extinction and the reasons can always be linked back to us, humans. We have moulded the earth to suit our needs, indifferent to the effects on the other living creatures who share our planet. This public sculpture experience is an invitation to join the best party in the world. Expertly crafted in bronze, the couch is ready and the animals are already partying, all that is left is for the public to take their seats. Discover more
