2026-04-24	Richard Hawkins, Potentialities at Kestner Gesellschaft
	The Kestner Gesellschaft is pleased to present Potentialities, a major survey of works by Richard Hawkins. Since the early 1990s, the Los Angeles–based artist has developed a singular practice centered nerdy research, the dynamics of fandom and desire, and on the intense pleasure of looking. Comprising more than 100 works across eight bodies of work, the exhibition offers the first major institutional overview of Hawkins’s oeuvre in more than a decade. Potentialities focuses on works produced over the past twenty years, spanning painting, sculpture, ceramic reliefs, and AI-generated videos that draw on online subcultures and shared memes.

	On view from April 16–August 17, 2026, this edition of Greater New York will mark PS1’s 50th anniversary, and rather than bringing on any outside curators, the museum has this time leaned on its staff to organize the show. The exhibition’s curatorial team includes director Connie Butler, chief curator and director of curatorial affairs Ruba Katrib, associate curators Jody Graf and Elena Ketelsen, assistant curator Kari Rittenbach, curatorial assistant Sheldon Gooch, and curatorial coordinator Andrea Sánchez. Taro Masushio and Cici Wu are amongst the participating artists of this year’s exhibition. Please see the link below for further information. Read more …
2026-03-27	Kevin Champoux reviews La Moustache in Mousse
	In an excerpt from her book Calamities (2016), which hangs on the wall of Empty Gallery in Hong Kong, the poet Renee Gladman attempts to configure a diagram of poetry for her students—a grid hovering over a “subterranean container where meaning might lie”—before realizing that her schematics are off, that “poetry comes from nothing.” Her subsequent advice may well function as the primary directive of this exhibition, organized by San Francisco–based curator Jordan Stein: “Read the nothing.” From the outset, La Moustache presents itself as an aporia, given its stated desire to transcend the known tempered by the manifold means of arriving there. If, in our present moment, we are buckling under the weight of too much meaning, the competing impulses of spiritualist withdrawal and nihilist accelerationism both promise non-sense as a way out. Stein shows little interest in the endless scrolls and AI-powered image infinities that purport transcendence through distraction, submission to the Algorithm-as-God. In its stead, he has assembled a group of meditative works anchored around the Bay Area Conceptualists of the 1970s like Paul Kos and Stephen Kaltenbach, alongside Doris Guo, Mary Helena Clark, and other younger artists continuing their legacy of object-as-experience, resisting an analytical approach in favor of something more phenomenological. By resurrecting a uniquely Californian perspective on Minimalism, with its cadre of art-world dropouts and back-to-the-land enthusiasts, Stein is resisting not only a tradition of criticality but also the social apparatuses that sustain it.

2026-03-19	Cici Wu in Ghostly, Godly at M Place, Hong Kong
	GHOSTLY, GODLY/人間》opens in Hong Kong on March 21, supported by the Octone Foundation. Contemporary art’s engagements with Modernity and Hauntology continue to provoke essential reflections on history and reality. This curatorial experiment explores their untapped possibilities within specific East Asian contexts. Set in Hong Kong—where Buddhism and Daoism thrive alongside deeply lived folk beliefs that shape not only spiritual life but also social, cultural, and political realities—the exhibition highlights the intangible yet constant presence of the ghostly and the divine in everyday human–world relations. The English title GHOSTLY, GODLY captures this spectral dimension, while the Chinese title 人間 (Human Realm, Ningenkai) evokes the unresolved, bittersweet present of Buddhist cosmology, where joy and suffering coexist and call for ongoing practice. Curated by Chris Wan, the show presents newly commissioned works, existing pieces, archives, and documents by artists Simon Liu, Cici Wu, Tang Kwok-hin, Ha Bik Chuen, and On Kino. Fully supported by the Octone Foundation, this project fosters experimental curating and artistic creation outside conventional institutional frameworks. Read more …
2026-03-18	Tishan Hsu in New Humans: Memories of the Future, New Museum, NY
	New Humans: Memories of the Future will inaugurate the New Museum’s expanded building with an exploration of artists’ enduring preoccupation with what it means to be human in the face of sweeping technological changes. New Humans will trace a diagonal history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through the work of more than 150 international artists, writers, scientists, architects, and filmmakers, highlighting key moments when dramatic technological and social changes spurred new conceptions of humanity and new visions for its possible futures.

2026-03-05	Tishan Hsu at Jessica Silverman Gallery, SF
	March 5 – April 18, 2026: Jessica Silverman is pleased to present “Beauty is the Best Defense,” a group exhibition that reframes decorative excess as a form of wit, resistance, and genderful expression. The exhibition runs from March 5–April 18, 2026. Spanning generations and geographies, the eight artists in this show explore ornament as armor and beauty as a survival tactic, mounting a spirited challenge to the long-held assumption that Minimalism represents the epitome of tasteful restraint and aesthetic discipline. That assumption, the exhibition suggests, has always conformed to an Anglo-Saxon, masculine norm—one that these artists collectively unsettle, complicate, and transcend. The participating artists are: Lari Pittman, Grayson Perry, Ilana Savdie, Rose B. Simpson, Ramekon O’Arwisters, Tishan Hsu, Lehuauakea, and Karim Boumjimar. Read more …
