In Museums
RESISTERHOOD - YOUNG JOON KWAK
@LESLIE-LOHMAN MUSEUM OF ART 14 FEB - 27 JUL, 2025 Young Joon Kwak's work begins with touch. Molds and imprints of bodies - the artist's own, and those of friends, loved ones, and collaborators - are dis- and re-assembled, burnished and jeweled. The resulting works bear intimate human traces and yet remain anonymous, moving in and out of recognition. They shimmer in their distortions and imperfections, presenting us with bodies both frozen in time and in perpetual transition: in the midst of youth, aging, gestation, or gender transformation.

TUTTO - WALTON FORD
@GAGOSIAN 06 MAR - 19 APR, 2025 Gagosian is pleased to announce Tutto, an exhibition of new paintings by Walton Ford at 522 West 21st Street. Ford’s practice centers on how animals are represented and the intersections of animal and human lives. Tutto is his first body of work to focus on a single individual: the eccentric Milanese heiress Luisa Casati (1881–1957). Depicting the exotic animals that she kept, Ford portrays her years in Venice shortly before World War I. Known as La Marchesa, Casati was one of Europe’s wealthiest women and is legendary for her extravagant pursuit of aesthetic extremes and social recognition. Startled onlookers describe how she wore snakes as necklaces, walked with a pair of cheetahs in Venice’s piazzas, and attended an opera clad in a headdress of peacock feathers that were stained with the blood of a freshly killed chicken.
In Brooklyn
CATCH THE SPIRIT - CONSUELO
@BROOKLYN MUSEUM 14 MAR - 03 AUG, 2025
For 60 years, Consuelo Kanaga (American, 1894–1978) used her camera to confront urgent social issues of her time, from urban poverty to labor rights to racial terror and inequality. Consuelo Kanaga: Catch the Spirit charts the artist’s groundbreaking work and life story, shedding light on this critical yet overlooked figure in modern photography. Following an international tour, the retrospective returns to the Brooklyn Museum, which houses the world’s most extensive Kanaga collection. Nearly 200 photographs, ephemera, and films trace the evolution of her art across time and theme, whether portraits of artists or scenes in the U.S. South.

MY MOTHER AND EYE - CARMEN WINANT
@JCDECAUX BUS SHELTERS, NYC
05 FEB - 06 APR, 2025
For her notably personal project My Mother and Eye, Carmen Winant assembled hundreds of stills from films that the artist and her mother each made as teenagers driving across the US. In 1969, Winant’s mother traveled far from her family home for the first time, documenting her trip from Los Angeles to Niagara Falls on Super 8 film. In 2001, with a 35mm camera in hand, Winant chronicled her own reverse journey from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. Each of the 11 compositions shows a different exploration of recognizable landmarks, interwoven narratives, and the horizon line. The resulting montages collapse the two journeys across time and landscapes, unfolding individual experiences of newfound freedom, buoyancy, and the power of self representation. On JCDecaux bus shelters, the exhibition connects to the movement of daily transit, inviting riders and passersby to imagine their own stories of travel, transformation, and connection. Discover more
