Wyatt Kahn at T293, Rome
Wyatt Kahn creates his works by assembling a series of individual panels, different in dimension, size, and shape, juxtaposed to create the illusion of a two-dimensional linear composition. Throughout all of his work, he uses different art devices to create a dichotomy between flatness and the illusion of depth. Informed by traditional painting techniques developed
Mungo Thomson at Frank Elbaz, Paris
Galerie frank elbaz is pleased to announce the first exhibition at the gallery by Los Angeles artist Mungo Thomson.

“Paginations & Machinations” at Air de Paris, Paris
The exhibition PAGINATIONS & MACHINATIONS presents works whose form is a hair’s breadth short of that of the book. Destined to be brought together – like these pages – they relate an encounter (Dorothy Iannone), which maybe happens in the Air de Paris space (Mrzyk & Moriceau) or when the visitor is invited to trigger
“Trust (A Mi Izquierda)” at Balice Hertling, Paris
Yves Klein emptied a room in order to fill it with an immaterial presence for the first time in 1957, in the gallery-apartment of Colette Allendy, at 67 rue de l’Assomption in Paris, “a charming little hotel particulier for the major crossroads of abstract art in the world.” Before the above-mentioned presence came to be
Ceal Floyer at Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne
Ceal Floyer’s intervention in the main exhibition hall of the Kölnischer Kunstverein seems rather far reaching, even though the means she has employed appear more or less minimal. Countless stickers in the form of the black silhouettes of birds – like those familiar from the facades of public buildings – have been installed on the
Phil Collins at Tanya Bonakdar, New York
What with the rolling of the oceans and the darkening of the skies What with the irrationality of your passions and the seething hatreds of everyday life What with this system so effortlessly born into What with our impossibility to connect And this unfortunate thing between us What with your revolutionary hair and the insistent
Danh Vo at Xavier Hufkens, Brussels
Press release: Moores and I went on to California’s eastern boundary, turned around, and recrossed the Sierra, as we would do repeatedly in the coming years. Climbing the steep east face of the mountains, you see granite and more granite and andesite capping the granite. So far so comprehensible. But before you have crossed the

Mount Stuart is without doubt an
Carsten Höller at Air de Paris, Paris
Press Release: ‘With’ does not mean ‘And’. If this were not the case, nothing would singularize the two terms. ‘With’ means 1+1 = 2, whereas ‘And’ says 1+ 1 = 1. Putting two things together while retaining their singularities is more paradoxical and unexpected than simply adding them up. So 1+1 = 2 is less

Ashes to Ashes is a spectral assemblage of material facts and artefacts from Greece, carefully chosen from the antique store Martinos, and works from ten contemporary artists, where the old is exhibited back-to-back
