Today is the last day to catch Wanda Koop’s magic at Arsenal Contemporary NY ✨ This wonderful exhibition—Magnetic Field—in collaboration with Night Gallery showcases Wanda’s incredible talent and limitless imagination. The exhibition marks Wanda’s first solo show in New York since 2018 and follows Night Gallery’s epic presentation of historical works by the artist recently at Frieze New York 2025.
Wanda created this most recent body of work in her summer studio at Riding Mountain, Manitoba, a few hours from her longtime Winnipeg home in Canada. The resulting, multi-layered landscapes and skyscapes are both idyllic and fragile. Calligraphic reeds break through a tranquil pond in 𝘙𝘦𝘦𝘥, and a bright orange sun in 𝘌𝘷𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 evokes the Manitoba fires that recently forced 20,000 residents to leave their homes.
Her newest paintings offer wry considerations of technological doomerism. She debuts her “AI Ghost Trees,” in which barren tree trunks form the suggestive letters “AI” as if nature itself were warning us of a conspiracy. Wanda’s approach to technology embraces double-edged humor and a broader, longer view. It’s unsettling to see a signifier for artificial intelligence in tree trunks, to try to find linguistic configurations in pond reeds and electronic patterns in the night skies. Yet as technology increasingly consumes our daily lives, it becomes impossible to escape its shadow in even the most remote places. Painting gains meaning not via its technological utility, but for its very presence and persistence as a primordial object of communication. Wanda feels out her direction with her own internal guide, creating luminous fields that exist outside of language—be it early script or large language models. Her canvases reconnect us with the mysteries of the natural universe, which will persist long after we and our gadgets are gone.
