專訪加州藝術家Lari Pittman，過去與當下交織的魔幻時刻 正在上海龍美術館開啟個展的加州藝術家Lari Pittman，近年成為熱議的創作者。72歲的年紀並不減於他對藝術的熱情，「繪畫對我有一種極端的吸引力，我可以做這件事情直到永遠。」

Liza Lou’s latest solo show is now open at our New York gallery, as recommended by Jerry Saltz of New York Magazine.

He says, “In Liza Lou's new show, the eye pours over her beautifully colored, reflective, faceted abstract works, madly made of glass beads and paint. Nonrepresentational floral thickets accrue into gorgeous Joan Mitchell-like compositions, each slowed down to almost stop-speed by the specificity of wee singular beads.”

Painting is on view through Saturday, October 12

Unveiling Lee Bul’s facade commission at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York!

For the 2024 Genesis Facade Commission, Lee Bul created four new sculptures that combine figurative and abstract elements. Titled ‘Long Tail Halo’, the exhibition marks the artist’s first major project in the United States in more than 20 years and the fifth in the series of contemporary commissions for The Met’s facade niches.

The works presented in ‘Long Tail Halo’, independently and in dialogue, symbolize the abiding human desire for progress and perfection while hinting at the failures and repercussions inherent to these pursuits. Together they reflect the endless revisions and transformations in the long narratives of history.

Titled ongoin’, the show was recommended by the Korea Herald as a “must-visit exhibition that coincides with Frieze Seoul.”

Last Chance! A solo exhibition of Heidi Bucher’s work is on view at MCAD Manila through August 18.

Titled ‘And Pull Yesterday into Today’, the exhibition comes to the Philippines as the third and last leg of Bucher’s Asian tour, following outings at the Art Sonje Center in Seoul and the Red Brick Art Museum in Beijing.

The show takes its title from a statement from Bucher regarding her signature latex “skinning” process: “We cover the rooms and listen. We look at the surface and coat it. We cover and reveal. What has been lived, what has passed, gets caught in the cloth and remains hanging. We slowly loosen the layers of rubber, the skin, and pull yesterday into today.”
