Discovered an exquisite Leonora Carrington exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris today. These are all details because her work begs to be seen in close-ups and there is so much going on in each one. Eclipsed by so many men, Carrington is one of the most underrated of artistic geniuses of the 20th century and surrealism. Timeless.

Happy Earth Day 🌎. Practicing care and protection of this beautiful planet we are so lucky to coexist on. Here’s Ernesto Neto’s Children of the Earth, which he conceives of as a giant “hug” to all that enter. The immersive installation is an important reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things, and especially in forest ecosystems. “We Belong to the Earth, the Earth Does Not Belong to Us”, said Chief Seattle. @ernestonetoarte

I’m so proud of @nevadaart for producing the 2026 Art + Environment Summit. What an incredible three days. Thanks to the entire team—it was an extraordinary effort by so many and thrilling to share it with so many people who came from near and far. Each of the presentations were so inspiring. I’m going to be revisiting many of them, which will all be posted to our YouTube channel soon. Thanks, too, to @emilynajeraphoto for capturing so many wonderful moments. ✨✨✨

And that’s a wrap! INTO THE TIME HORIZON is finally open in its entirety. We’ve been installing since November. The exhibition includes 193 artists from all over the world, 51% of which are womxn and 38% are First Nations artists. Here I’m sharing some pictures from the section This Vital Earth, which includes artists who recenter our thought and gaze onto the vibrancy of the natural world, with arboreal life being a recurring motif. Artists: @radicalhospitality @haleymellin @karlhaendel @eddieraparicio #abelrodriguez #aycoobo #kikismith @lacaycedo #anamendieta @clarerojasart @belzerjudith #michellestuart Thanks to all the lenders and the incredible staff @nevadaart who worked so hard to realize this epic project, especially @justkolin2sayhi @christopherdavidmartin @husky_and_company and Brian Eyler. ✨✨

INTO THE TIME HORIZON: Strange Weather assembles works of art that represent the extreme climatic events taking place all around us. We live in a time distinguished by increasingly strange weather—a phenomenon atmospheric scientist Katharine Hayhoe likens to “global weirding.” Similarly, environmental activist Greta Thunberg has written that “the weather seems to be on steroids, and natural disasters increasingly appear less and less natural.” It’s hard to even quantify all the transformations we have witnessed in the last thirty years: megadroughts, melting ice caps, unabating wildfires, intense flooding, devastating hurricanes, stronger jet streams, warming oceans, heavier rainfall, dangerous bomb cyclones, rising sea levels, interminable heat waves, lethal tornadoes, and deadly storm surges. These are fueled by the greenhouse gases (such as CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide) we emit into the Earth’s atmosphere, speeding up the rate of change and amplifying the extremes. @radicalhospitality @katiegrinnan @studiotomassaraceno @jayheikes @rodney.mcmillian @takako.yamaguchi @dueyart @julian.charriere #lizlarner #herbertponting @dianetuft @tiffanydchung #linonus #judithlowry

Happy International Women’s Day! Here is a detail of one of my favorite paintings by Gloria Petyarre affiliated with Utopia in the Central Desert of Australia. This sumptuous optical painting of leaves from the kurrajong tree is currently on view in my exhibition INTO THE TIME HORIZON @nevadaart for the next year. The work is on loan from @seattleartmuseum where it typically resides. It was given to SAM by Margaret Levi and Robert Kaplan in honor of Bagley and Virginia Wright. Such a special group of people. The kurrajong leaves possess medicinal properties and women gather under the tree for shade in the desert and make seed cakes together while sharing songlines and so it’s a painting about sacred women’s ceremonies. #happyinternationalwomansday

Sharing some pictures of “Circularity” from INTO THE TIME HORIZON. Powerful room✨ “Circularity” relates to a needed systemic overhaul in the way that we produce and dispose of materials. Instead of making an item to be used only once or twice and then tossed in the garbage—to sit in a trash dump for eternity—the idea of circularity encourages us to develop more sustainable approaches to the things we manufacture. If we can eliminate the linear cycle of production (creation to landfill) and transform it into a circular one predicated on reuse, recycling, repurposing, and regeneration, then we can eventually stem the profligate rubbish streams we generate and transform to a zero-waste economy. The works in this section exemplify the concepts embedded in circularity, their makers creating innovative art out of objects they have removed from the waste stream—political posters, discarded bottles caps, used Nike shoes, single-use plastic bags, scraps of wood, shipping envelopes, avocadoes, and even FEMA tarps. Artists: @daniel_lind_ramos @maeamaria @elanatsui.art @gatejasanaa_official #beverlybuchanan @tdeininger @clarissatossin @hugomccloudstudio @noahpurifoyfoundation @fernandolaposse @brianjungen Special thanks to all the lenders including @thebroadmuseum @icamiami @noahpurifoyfoundation

Four new sections of INTO THE TIME HORIZON open today: Interspecies Relationships, Circularity, Strange Weather, and The Sixth Extinction. Sharing some pictures of Interspecies Relationships here. This section showcases works that invite us to reflect on our interdependence on a multitude of animate and inanimate matter, including galaxies, insects, cephalopods, beavers, minerals, plant life, and forests. Posthuman philosophers, such as Rosi Braidotti, have been warning for decades about the perils of privileging human thought over other life forms. These theorists argue that the superimposition of reason, humanism, and the methodologies they have spawned has created the crises we struggle to overcome today, and that we have lost the capacity and ability to control their outcomes (AI, fossil fuel production, consumption, excess, waste, commerce, warfare, etc.). Instead, posthumanists propose the advancement of biodiversity, circularity, degrowth, resilience, nature, regeneration, inclusivity, and mutual coexistence. This necessarily requires displacing anthropocentrism as the ultimate paradigm against which all other concepts are weighed. Huge thanks to everyone at the museum, especially @justkolin2sayhi and the installation team who have done such a beautiful job under the direction of @christopherdavidmartin Thanks to the artists: @xiaojing.yan.studio #katiegrinnan @ceciliaedefalk @otobongnkanga @hannahslevy @wangechistudio #tuanphan @clarissatossin @rohinidevasher And again thanks to all our lenders and sponsors! @ccsbard @commonwealthandcouncil @bampfa @susannevielmetter and many private collectors

We did it! After 11 years we finally tied the knot in the most spontaneous of ways. Surprising friends and family in SF a couple weeks ago on my birthday. There’s nothing like affirming love.❤️ ❤️

This weekend “Listening to the Land” opened—the first major group section of the museum-wide exhibition INTO THE TIME HORIZON. This section grounds the entire project and serves as the conceptual heart around which the other areas radiate. The myriad artworks on display underscore Indigenous ecological knowledge of diverse types, which have modeled care, respect, and protection of the land for millennia. Indeed, the understanding that life forms belong to and coexist with the natural world is a foundational aspect of Indigenous thought and precedes concepts of ecofeminism, environmentalism, and sustainability. Listening to and extending Indigenous ecological practice and experience is vital for the future well-being of life on Earth. As artist Rose B. Simpson has stated, “We are on a precipice right now, and everything we do will impact the land.” The exhibition endeavors to inspire audiences to envision that edge and carefully navigate away from it. Jeffrey Gibson’s mural “The Land Is Speaking, Are You Listening” inspires the title of this section, which features over fifty First Nations artists from Australia, the United States, and Canada. Thank you to all our amazing lenders and sponsors for making this possible. Also the all the amazing staff at the Nevada Museum of Art who have worked so hard to realize this monumental undertaking. @jeffrune @cannupahanska @rosebsimpson @tttttbaker @ericpaulriege @saifazzuz @warholfoundation @teigerfoundation @tlbottom @forgeprojectny @gochmancollection @seattleartmuseum

Announcing INTO THE TIME HORIZON! Occupying the entire 120,000-square-foot building, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how to move forward on our planet—ethically, responsibly, and with care for coming generations. It strives to catalyze and amplify protection for the Earth and build an awareness around ecological concerns on many different levels. In the process, it promotes forward-thinking models rooted in collectivity, engagement, and collaboration. A “time horizon,” a concept mostly used in economics, is a point in the future that one sets for the length of an investment. In his acclaimed novel “The Ministry for the Future,” Kim Stanley Robinson astutely describes the environment’s time horizon as the window of opportunity we still have to avert the most cataclysmic effects of climate change. INTO THE TIME HORIZON encompasses seven discrete thematic sections, while also including several large-scale installations that interweave the project’s primary concerns. Including nearly 200 artists, the exhibition sheds insight into the wide range of output, across all mediums, of makers who are integrating environmentalism into their innovative creative approaches. Here are the 193 artists! The entire exhibition opens March 28th… Thanks to @macfaddenandthorpe for the animation. #intothetimehorizon @nevadaart
