Install of “Changes” at Mumok Gallery
Sam Gilliam, who recently passed away (1933–2022), is seen as an important innovator in postwar painting in the USA. He was greatly influenced by the Washington Color School and in 1972 he participated in the group exhibition curated by Walter Hopps for the US pavilion at the Venice Biennale. He was the first Black artist to represent the USA there. He identified the key to his artistic practice in “a sense of the importance of process, of change, of the importance of difference itself, a freedom to take command and work from one’s own ideas.” The title of his work Change (1970), which is in the mumok collection, refers to the fact that Gilliam’s “drape paintings,” of which this work is an example, are hung without frames from the ceiling and can look very different depending on the nature of the space where they are shown.

Celebrating Campoli Presti's 20th anniversary, 'For the People of Paris' brings together the artistic community the gallery has built over time. The exhibition is the continuum of an eponymous show which took place in Paris in 2007 and which was a critical standpoint announcing an affinity between artists from both sides of the Atlantic that shaped the identity of the gallery for many years.
The ideas that guided 'For the People of Paris' (2007), such as the notion of authorship, the tension between the body and the digital, the coexistence of different materialities and the questioning of modes of display have only become more complex over the years.
Casa São Roque Centro de Arte: Porto, Portugal
May 22, 2022 — January 31, 2023
Link: Casa Sao Roque
Warhol, People and Things is an extensive exhibition focusing on Andy Warhol and his influence across several generations of photographers, filmmakers, musicians and multi-media artists. Including works by Warhol, contributions by his close friends, and commissions and interventions by contemporary artists from New York, Porto, and Lisbon, this project resulted from collaboration between the Mishkin Gallery, Baruch College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and Casa São Roque, Porto.
The exhibition presents the importance of Andy Warhol’s contribution to critical art discourse and the development of media art. It also examines how his methods and gestures inspired a re-envisioning of the object and the subject, redefining the relation between people and things and expanding our knowledge of social life.
LE VOCI DELLA SERA
Vistamare Gallery Milano
MARCH 24 - MAY 21, 2022
Link: Vistamare
After four years since the opening of Vistamarestudio, Vistamare will open the new space in Milano with the group show Le voci della sera. The project takes its title from the novel by Natalia Ginzburg and was conceived after a conversation between the artist Rosa Barba and the gallerists Lodovica Busiri Vici and Benedetta Spalletti.
All of the artists received a hard copy of the book, and were invited to respond to its content, to become narrators and to share memories and perspectives. The 19 invited artists interpreted the book in their own personal way, creating a choral story formed of previously un-exhibited and site-specific works.

The Invitational Exhibition of Visual Arts is an annual event for members of the American Academy of Arts and Letters to honor contemporary artists who they believe are making some of today’s most important and timely work.
The Invitational is an exhibition without a theme or a single author, and yet, certain tendencies emerge in this year’s installment. In many cases, the finished works destabilize, even disregard, old disciplinary questions rooted in hierarchy—is it a painting or a sculpture; art or craft? Instead, they opt for plenitude, for and, and, and. Objects in the exhibition extend the art historical archive to include artifacts of incarceration, migration, and climate emergency. They heighten our attention to color and scale. Artists employ a range of techniques: marbling, weaving, glazing, animation, found-object manipulation, collage, dark-room processing, and more, often in “wrong” or unconventional ways. We witness art’s capacity for surprise, and the enduring pleasure of material experimentation.
Participating artists were nominated by Academy members and selected by a committee of Academy visual artists. Works in the exhibition are eligible for merit awards and purchase prizes, two important ways in which the Academy upholds its mission to foster and sustain interest in American art. Since the purchase program began, the Academy has placed over 1,300 works of art in museums across the United States.

Footnote 15: A Prototype
Boavista Gallery: Rua da Boavista 50, 1200-066 Lisbon
February 19 2022 – April 30 2022
Link: Galerias Municipais
A prototype is an early form given to a material. The prototype can be understood as a model subject to modification – it can be developed, or it can remain undeveloped. Footnote 15 aims to explore the prototypical in the works of Portuguese, Polish, Brazilian, Argentinian and American artists of different generations, whose practice shares the avant-garde languages of modular systems and geometric abstraction.
This project is an ongoing collaboration between Ana Cardoso – Portuguese artist based in Lisbon and New York, and Barbara Piwowarska – Polish curator based in Porto where she works at Casa São Roque. The conversation between the two started in 2020 at Ana Cardoso’s studio.
