‘She’s a woman that dreams in patterns’, says Matteo Norzi, the co-curator of ‘Sara Flores: From Other Worlds’.⁠ ⁠ Watch as Matteo Norzi (@matteonorzi ) reflects on Sara Flores’s (@sarafloresvalera ) work at the Peru Pavilion at La Biennale di Venezia 2026.⁠ ⁠ Rooted in Kené, the ancestral visual language of the Shipibo-Konibo, Sara’s practice articulates a system of relationships that extends beyond the human, encompassing plants, animals, land and spirit.⁠ ⁠ Across the pavilion, painting, sculpture and film unfold as interconnected structures, inviting a sensory and introspective encounter with a worldview grounded in reciprocity and interconnection.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘Sara Flores: From Other Worlds’ is on view from 9 May – 22 November 2026 at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia⁠ ⁠ Following her presentation in Venice, White Cube New York will present a solo exhibition by Sara Flores from 25 June – 14 August 2026.⁠ ⁠ @issela.ccoyllo @pacupe.peru @labiennale @icarosavision ⁠ ⁠ Video © White Cube (Maco Film) 2026⁠

‘Colour proposes many different possibilities for understanding the world. It is a very direct medium.’ – Katharina Grosse⁠ ⁠ Working without preparatory sketches, Katharina’s (@katharina_grosse ) paintings emerge through a direct engagement with the surface, where thinking, doing and acting converge in a single process.⁠ ⁠ In this way, colour operates independently of the ground on which it is applied, transforming what we see and shifting our perception of space.⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘I Set Out, I Walked Fast’ is on view at White Cube Bermondsey until 31 May 2026.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition.⁠ ⁠ Video © White Cube (Sam Smith) ⁠

In Focus: Sarah Morris, ‘Nvidia’ (2026) at Frieze New York (Booth B9)⁠ ⁠ ‘Nvidia’ addresses the semiconductor company whose graphics processing units have become the defining infrastructure of artificial intelligence, powering everything from large language models to autonomous systems.⁠ ⁠ Sarah’s (@sarahmorris ) fragmented diagonal forms, rendered in stark black and white with punctuating accents of pale blue, red and green, echo the triangulated architecture of Nvidia’s Santa Clara headquarters, where the triangle – the basic unit of 3D graphics rendering – is embedded into the building’s structure.⁠ ⁠ The painting distils the company’s function, processing and accelerating flows of data at a scale that shapes the conditions of contemporary life. As with Morris’s corporate subjects, the work is less a portrait of an institution than of the systems of power it represents.⁠ ⁠ ‘Nvidia’ (2026) is on view at White Cube’s booth (B9) at Frieze New York. ⁠ ⁠ 👉 Visit us at Booth B9 until 17 May 2026⁠ ⁠ 📍 The Shed, New York⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more⁠ ⁠ Images: Sarah Morris, ‘Nvidia’, 2026, © Sarah Morris.

‘Kené comes from the heart and from ways of life.’ – Sara Flores⁠ ⁠ Watch as Sara Flores (@sarafloresvalera ) reflects on her practice at the Peru Pavilion, La Biennale di Venezia 2026.⁠ ⁠ Rooted in Kené, the ancestral visual language of the Shipibo-Konibo, Sara’s practice articulates a system of relationships that extends beyond the human, encompassing plants, animals, land and spirit.⁠ ⁠ Emerging through a process of deep concentration and drawing on knowledge of the forest and its materials, the works reflect an understanding of culture and environment as part of a shared, interconnected whole.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘Sara Flores: From Other Worlds’ is on view from 9 May – 22 November 2026 at the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia⁠ ⁠ Following her presentation in Venice, White Cube New York will present a solo exhibition by Sara Flores from 25 June – 14 August 2026.⁠ ⁠ Video © White Cube (Maco Film) 2026⁠ ⁠ @matteonorzi @issela.ccoyllo @pacupe.peru @labiennale @icarosavision ⁠

‘The relationship between Hammons and Kounellis is very multi-levelled … in terms of their conceptual approach to making art, and their ability to fuse a very distinct vision.’ – Judd Tully⁠ ⁠ Watch as critic Judd Tully explores ‘David Hammons and Jannis Kounellis’ at White Cube New York.⁠ ⁠ Bringing into dialogue the practices of Hammons and Kounellis for the first time in over three decades, the exhibition reflects on the artists’ shared material intelligence and poetics of resistance.⁠ ⁠ Across works spanning more than 50 years, both artists engage notions of displacement, vulnerability and fragmentation, foregrounding the ways in which established systems of meaning may be challenged.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition. ⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘David Hammons and Jannis Kounellis’ is on view at White Cube New York until 13 June 2026.⁠ ⁠ @judd.tully #DavidHammons #JannisKounellis⁠ Video: © White Cube (Martin Awano)⁠ ⁠

📆 Preview Invitation: ‘Shao Fan: Refrain / 复沓’ at White Cube Mason’s Yard (Thursday 21 May 2026, 6–8pm) 🐰✨⁠ ⁠ Shao Fan’s first UK exhibition will feature his meticulously rendered ink-on-rice-paper paintings that arise through an intense period of concentration and the slowing down of time.⁠ ⁠ Repetition in subject matter allows the artist to enter a meditative state while creating the work, contemplating the principles of Taoist philosophy and the distinctions between form, line and tone.⁠ ⁠ The artist has said: ‘For a rabbit, I may have drawn 200,000 strands of hair – by accumulating the hairs one after another and adding layer upon layer. It is a form created by a myriad of repeated layers.’⁠ ⁠ 📍 ‘Refrain / 复沓’ will be on view from 22 May – 27 June 2026 at White Cube Mason’s Yard.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more about the exhibition.⁠ ⁠ #ShaoFan⁠ ⁠ Images: Shao Fan, ‘In The Name of the Rabbit 0322’, 2022. © Shao Fan.

In Focus: Park Seo-Bo, ‘Ecriture’ paintings⁠ ⁠ Initiated in the late 1960s, Park Seo-Bo’s ‘Ecritures’ form a body of work sustained throughout the artist’s life, grounded in a profoundly introspective methodology and created through disciplined repetition.⁠ ⁠ Borrowed from the French word for ‘writing’, ‘Ecriture’ afforded Park a language through which to reconsider the act of painting, approaching the canvas as a surface upon which gestures could be inscribed and accumulated over time.⁠ ⁠ Working into still-wet monochromatic grounds, the artist repeatedly applied pencil markings across the surface, and as such, the paintings can be understood as a form of diaristic inscription, operating in parallel with Park’s pursuit of self-cultivation.⁠ ⁠ 📍 Park Seo-Bo’s exhibition is on view at White Cube Paris until 30 May 2026⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to learn more⁠ ⁠ @parkseobo @parkseobo.foundation ⁠ ⁠ Images: ⁠ 1: Installation Image: Park Seo-Bo, White Cube Paris, 15 April - 30 May 2026 © PARKSEOBO FOUNDATION.

Now open at White Cube Seoul, Takis (@takisfoundation ) and Nam June Paik are brought together in a presentation that reflects their collaboration and shared interest in music, John Cage and Zen. Across the exhibition, sculpture, sound and moving image intersect: works vibrate through magnetism, signals distort, and systems of transmission are set into motion. For both artists, technology operates not as a tool of control, but as a means of generating unpredictable outcomes. Referencing their 1979 performance ‘Duett,’ in which sound and movement converged, this exhibition revisits this dialogue in a new context. Ikenna Malbert (@ikenna_malbert ), Associate Director, leads us through a walkthrough of the exhibition. Duett: Takis and Nam June Paik May 2–Jun 5, 2026 White Cube Seoul 🇰🇷
