Dana Schutz, ‘Blind Boat’, 2026: a new sculpture commission for Kistefos. Created specifically for the sculpture park at Kistefos, ‘Blind Boat’ is a monumental bronze sculpture representing a significant development in Schutz’s practice. This ambitious new work is her first public sculpture, and the first at this scale, standing seven metres tall and nine metres in length, and weighing more than 12 tonnes. Long-recognised as one of the most distinctive painters of her generation, Schutz began making sculptures in 2018. These works are first modelled in clay before being cast in bronze, with raw, tactile surfaces that bear the trace of the artist’s hand. ‘Blind Boat’ demonstrates Schutz’s unique ability to construct dynamic constellations of forms and figures. The sculpture depicts a boat carrying three characters, surrounded by elements such as a stylised sun, hollowed-out eyeballs, and a carrion bird holding a pupil in its beak. The figures in the boat are either blind or one-eyed, evoking the Cyclopes of Greek mythology. The central figure holds their companion’s eyeball aloft as a guiding light. At Kistefos, the sculpture is situated in dialogue with the surrounding landscape and the waterfall behind it. The continuous sound of rushing water enhances the work’s sensory qualities, creating an interplay between the solidity of cast bronze and the perception of a dynamic sculpture in motion.

Now open: ‘in situ: Igshaan Adams. Unsettling Dust: The Body’s Archive’ at Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Exhibition continues until 1 November 2026. The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents the latest chapter of its 'in situ' series, with Igshaan Adams transforming the gallery into an immersive environment shaped by movement, memory and material. Working across weaving, sculpture and installation, Adams employs rope, beads, wire and found objects to construct intricate surfaces that register the entanglement of race, religion, sexuality and lived experience. Developed through an ongoing dialogue between weaving and dance, the works originate in performances where dancers moved across canvases, leaving behind layered traces of gesture, rhythm and release. These “dance prints” are translated into large-scale woven tapestries that hang within the gallery as spatial encounters, inviting viewers to circulate around and through them. Their presentation foregrounds the dual-sided nature of the weave, while smaller cloud-like forms appear to gather and release fragments of movement, colour and memory. At once immersive and introspective, ‘Unsettling Dust: The Body’s Archive’ gives material presence to invisible forces: memory, empathy and collective experience, proposing weaving as a deeply embodied and communal act, and movement as both a record of lived histories and a means of transformation. Curated by Lekha Hileman. ‘in situ: Igshaan Adams’ ‘Unsettling Dust: The Body’s Archive’ 5 May–1 November 2026 Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Avenida Abandoibarra, 2 48009 Bilbao Spain (Galleries: 204, 208) #IgshaanAdams #GuggenheimBilbao @igshaan.adams @museoguggenheim Exhibition views, ‘in situ: Igshaan Adams.

‘Barbara Kasten: Post-Abstraction’ now open at Zachęta — Narodowa Galeria Sztuki, Warsaw. Exhibition continues until 7 June 2026. The first comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in this region of Europe, the presentation includes around 100 works in various media, as well as a site-specific intervention in the museum’s stairwell. The exhibition highlights an important connection to the region for Kasten who, as a Fulbright-Hays scholarship holder in the early 1970s, worked with sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz at the State Higher School of Fine Arts (now the University of Arts) in Poznań. This formative experience working in textile would go on to influence Kasten’s enduring practice, exploring the relationship between object, space, and light through photography and installation. Curated by Agnieszka Pindera.

Works by Claudio Parmiggiani in ‘Atlante’, at Thomas Dane Gallery in Naples. Over a decade from 1964 onwards, Claudio Parmiggiani made a number of sculptures and collages using globes which he later called his “geographic work.” He cut one globe in half and combined it with a pair of shoes (‘Deserto’, 1964), squeezed a cheap inflatable one into a bottling jar (‘Globo’, 1968) and covered yet another one with black and white calfskin for the sculpture ‘Pellemondo’ (1968). In the late 1960s, hundreds of millions of people had been captivated by photographs of the earth viewed from space, such as the iconic ‘Earthrise’ image from Apollo 8 as it orbited the moon in December 1968. Planet earth looked serene from space, silhouetted by the darkness of the cosmos. Back on the ground, the world was convulsed by massive social upheaval. In response Parmiggiani asked his friend Luigi Ghirri to take photographs of a crumpled plastic globe. Six images of the deformed sphere were brought together in an edition titled ‘Atlante’, published in 1970, challenging centuries-old conventions of cartography together with the world view it had been instrumental in shaping. ‘Atlante’ Curated by James Lingwood 3 February–5 May 2026 Thomas Dane Gallery Via Francesco Crispi, 69 Napoli #ClaudioParmiggiani @james.lingwood Images: Claudio Parmiggiani, ‘Globo’, 1968; ‘Atlante’, 1970, exhibition view, ‘Atlante’, Thomas Dane Gallery, Naples, 2026.

A new limited edition print by Anya Gallaccio for Counter Editions is available now. ‘Waxing Star’ (2026) is Gallaccio’s first collaboration with Counter Editions. Created through an intensive, process‑driven collaboration that began with the artist’s long‑standing fascination with historic apple imagery, the print offers a rare moment of stillness within a practice rooted in transformation. Beginning with a series of studio photographs of individual apples, Gallaccio worked closely with the Counter Editions studio team to build a composition. The final work combines inkjet underlayers with hand‑applied, pigmented varnishes, and ground pastel mixed into the surface. The result is a subtly intricate print that foregrounds the handmade, with each impression carrying its own character and the tactile presence of the artist’s process. Anya Gallaccio ‘Waxing Star’, 2026 Edition of 40 Inkjet with 5 layers of screen printed varnish and 12 layers of pigment suspended in varnish, on Hahnemuhle Photorag Ultra Smooth 305gsm paper 77 x 61 cm Signed, dated and numbered by the artist For more information and to purchase the edition, go to the link in bio. #AnyaGallaccio #CounterEditions @anyagallaccio @countereditions Images: Anya Gallaccio. ‘Waxing Star’, 2026 © Anya Gallaccio.

Musei Civici di Reggio Emilia presents ‘Luigi Ghirri: A series of dreams’ at the Palazzo dei Musei, opening tonight, Thursday 30 April 2026, 7.00pm. The exhibition, which includes previously unseen material, explores what Ghirri called the “strange and mysterious relationship between sound and image,” focussing on the fundamental role of music in constructing his vision as an artist: from his passion for Bob Dylan to his deep friendship with Lucio Dalla, his extensive record collection and the numerous references to music in his writings. A soundscape by musician Iosonouncane, ‘Oltre quei monti il mare’, is featured one section of the exhibition, establishing a dialogue between Ghirri's “ecology of the gaze” and R. Murray Schafer's “acoustic ecology,” bringing together sound and visual landscapes. A series of original audio recordings, curated by Giulia Cavaliere, also accompanies the exhibition, featuring insights, dialogues, and interviews with artists such as Angela Baraldi, Gianni Morandi, and Luca Carboni. Exhibition curated by Ilaria Campioli and Andrea Tinterri. ‘Luigi Ghirri: A series of dreams’ Paesaggi visivi e paesaggi sonori’ 30 April 2026–28 February 2027 Opening: Thursday 30 April, 7.00pm; Inauguration at 7.30pm Palazzo dei Musei Via Spallanzani, 1 42121 Reggio Emilia Italy #LuigiGhirri @fondazioneluigighirri @museicivicire @culturareggioemilia Image: Luigi Ghirri, ‘Modena’, 1979 © Estate of Luigi Ghirri.

Tatiana Trouvé, ‘11- 01- 2026 TT’, 2026 in ‘Atlante’, at Thomas Dane Gallery in Naples. A haphazard tangle of lines disrupts the geometric forms in another new drawing by Trouvé, ‘11-01-2026 TT’. The title refers to the date the drawing was completed and to the origins of the strands of hair dropped on to the canvas over which Trouvé has attached tracing paper before accentuating some of the lines with pencil. The triangular forms in the drawing could reference signs on a topographic map indicating high points on land or depths in the ocean, over which the lines trace their errant currents. ‘Atlante’ Curated by James Lingwood 3 February–5 May 2026 Thomas Dane Gallery Via Francesco Crispi, 69 Napoli @tatianatrouve @james.lingwood Images: Tatiana Trouvé, ‘11- 01- 2026 TT’, 2026 © Tatiana Trouvé.

Works by Tatiana Trouvé in ‘Atlante’, at Thomas Dane Gallery in Naples. Trouvé begins the drawings in her series ‘Les dessouvenus’ (the word refers to a Breton term for the ‘unremembered’) by embracing an element of chance. She applies bleach to coloured paper to create accidental, amorphous forms. Like the stains on walls or ashes from fires that Leonardo da Vinci suggested artists might look at for inspiration, Trouvé takes the forms on the paper as a ground over which to draw forms with ink, linseed oil, coloured pencil and mica (to add an occasional copper element to the surface) that amplify the volatile origins of the work. Building worlds that are as elusive and as vivid as dreams, Trouvé’s drawings oscillate between form and formlessness, between emerging and dissolving states. In a recent drawing from the ‘Les dessouvenus’ series, the perfect sphere of the moon, perhaps reflected on the surface of water, appears as a witness to some momentous, possibly cataclysmic event; an underwater eruption or all-engulfing fire. Geometric lines radiate from the epicentre of the drawing, taking soundings of the turbulence. In these drawings, Trouvé charts not so much a place as a state of being, where interior and exterior fold into one another and boundaries dissolve. ‘Atlante’ Curated by James Lingwood 3 February–5 May 2026 Thomas Dane Gallery Via Francesco Crispi, 69 Napoli @tatianatrouve @james.lingwood Images: Tatiana Trouvé, ‘Untitled, from the series Les dessouvenus’, 2025; ‘Untitled, from the series Les dessouvenus’, 2026 © Tatiana Trouvé.
