ARCANUMS - ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG
21 SEPT - 02 NOV, 2024
In collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Gladstone presents an exhibition of Rauschenberg’s Arcanum series (1979). Derived from the Latin word for secret, arcanus, the title of these artworks and this exhibition underscores Rauschenberg's ongoing fascination with the esoteric aspects of both the spiritual and physical worlds. The drawings in the series explore the fragmented and layered nature of thought and communication, demonstrating Rauschenberg’s instinctual ability to transpose the human experience into his artistic practice.

GRAFT - EDRA SOTO
05 SEPT 2024 - 24 AUG, 2025
Edra Soto (b. 1971, Puerto Rico) explores the relationship between our private, interior lives and shared public history and culture. Graft is the latest in an ongoing series of installations based on rejas, wrought iron screens frequently seen outside homes in Puerto Rico. Rejas often feature repeating geometric motifs that can be traced to West Africa’s Yoruba symbol systems, in contrast to the Spanish architecture celebrated in official Puerto Rican tourism. Graft investigates how Puerto Rican cultural memory often masks the Black heritage of the island as folklore.
