The Gold Art Prize, a series of five awards given biennially to AAPI and Asian diaspora artists, has named this year’s batch of winners, including Dan Lie, Stella Zhong, Morehshin Allahyari, Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork, and Kenneth Tam. The prize awards each winner an unrestricted $25,000.
This is the third iteration of the prize, which was launched in 2021 by adviser Kelly Huang and Gold House, a Los Angeles–based organization with a focus on the AAPI community. As with the 2023 edition, the 2025 prize is funded by the Kahng Foundation.
In a statement, Huang said, “I’m proud that the Gold Art Prize has, since 2021, championed artists from the Asian diaspora, and its mission feels more vital than ever today. This year’s awardees reflect an even broader range of diasporic backgrounds, and it’s an honor to celebrate each artist’s contributions to shaping the future of contemporary art.”

The exhibition will take place from September 6, 2025 to January 11, 2026 at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion in São Paulo, with free admission.

There Is a Crack in Everything, on view from September 5 – December 14, 2025, brings together more than twenty-five international artists whose practices intertwine emotion and form with questions of belonging, identity, and memory. From visible violence to imposed silences, from damages to life to the vulnerability of surrounding environments, these artists explore the human condition in its tensions as well as its possibilities, transforming these realities into imaginings of resistance, displacement, and reinvention. This exhibition is a project of the Jewish Museum In/Out, led by its director Barbara Cuglietta, in collaboration with guest curator Martin Germann.
Raha Raissnia is participating with her film installation Solaria 2022, as well as new paintings.
The Moody’s fall 2025 exhibition focuses on the topic of biomorphism—artistic styles that use occurring patterns or shapes inspired by nature— as seen through the lens of seven international artists. Their respective work highlights the impact of new technologies and industrial manufacturing processes on ever-changing relationships between the human body and the natural world. This presentation offers a pluridisciplinary approach to the concept through works that engage with a broad range of topics, from the application of scientific research to the role of gender in society. Bio Morphe allows visitors to explore parallels between experimental artworks and contemporary issues prompted by research in science and technology.
Generations of Hong Kong filmmakers have worked to find a cinematic language that could capture an environment so marked by contingency and ephemerality. In recent years, one particularly original and sustained such effort has come from Chan Hau Chun, who has made several works blurring the boundaries between documentary and video art, and whose newest film debuted at Hong Kong’s Empty Gallery this summer. An epistolary reflection on the city, partly addressed to a then-imprisoned friend, Map of Traces (2025) unearths fragments of Hong Kong’s collective history and forms them into an image of its present. “Memory,” she writes in one letter displayed over a black background, “is like a hidden shape, waiting for the right moment to resurface.”
Cici Wu’s current exhibition at Rockbund Art Museum, running through September 28, has been covered recently:
Artists: Ryoko Aoki, Robert Beck / Buck, Anne Eastman. Zon Ito, Yoshiro Furuhashi, Takeshi Miyakawa. Monique Mouton, Tam Ochiai, Hiroyuki Oki, Ayano Shibata, Stephen Sprott, Chinatsu Yasuhara, Cici Wu Dates: August 2 (Sat) – August 31 (Sun), 2025
Troedsson Villa is pleased to announce a group exhibition at The Pawnbroker’s Museum in Nikko, Japan. Organized by Anne Eastman and Tam Ochiai, the exhibition is titled Zureta, a word that refers to something being slightly off, displaced, out of sync, or shifted just enough to catch our attention. Whether by design or accident, when an idea, person, place, moment, or material is dislocated, the resulting imperfection opens up countless possibilities. The artists in this exhibition respond to these shifting realities. Each work points toward a fugitive memory of a place or a sense of self dislodged from its point of origin.
