Torkwase Dyson: Akua | Brooklyn Bridge Park
May 6, 2025–Mar 8, 2026 (UTC-5)
New York
For Dyson’s first major installation with sound in New York City, the artist experiments with “breath as geography.” Inside a large sculptural pavilion, Dyson introduces a multichannel soundscape comprising the artist’s recordings of a range of spoken sounds. In what Dyson envisions as a kind of spatial drawing of field recordings, she explores the idea that the sound in between the words we speak can carry memories of places and spaces. As audiences move through the installation, the sonic textures and compositions change. Surrounded by grand waterways and architectural landmarks, the work encourages audiences to reflect upon the ways that our experience is grounded in the landscape beneath and encircling us.
Collection in Focus | Faith Ringgold | Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum
May 9–Sep 14, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
Explore Woman on a Bridge #1 of 5: Tar Beach (1988), one of the most important works by Faith Ringgold, a renowned artist, writer, and activist. This monumental quilt, the first in a series of five, tells the story of a young girl who dreams of flying from her Harlem rooftop to celebrate her own freedom and self-possession. This exhibition dives into Ringgold’s artistic influences and the lasting impact she has had on later generations of artists. Alongside Tar Beach, visitors will see works from the Guggenheim New York collection by European modernists such as Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso, who inspired Ringgold, and contemporary American artists such as Tschabalala Self and Sanford Biggers, whose work reflects her legacy.

Louise Giovanelli | New York
May 9–Jun 21, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
GRIMM presents a solo exhibition of new paintings by British artist Louise Giovanelli. This is the Manchester-based artist’s fifth solo exhibition at GRIMM and her fourth at the New York gallery. Metrograph showcases a selection of films curated by the artist to accompany the exhibition.
Giovanelli's delicate, luminous works inject vitality into historical subjects from the canon of Western art. Through interconnected series, she weaves together visual clues surrounding a specific moment or event. Her subject matter is primarily chosen for its formal qualities and includes, staged photographs, film stills, classical sculpture, and architectural elements. Within each series, Giovanelli repeats her motifs and certain paintings appear nearly identical, excepting slight alterations of the composition, or tonality.
JULIEN NGUYEN | Matthew Marks Gallery
May 9–Jun 28, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
Matthew Marks is pleased to announce Julien Nguyen, the next exhibition in his gallery at 526 West 22nd Street. The exhibition includes twenty new paintings.
Julien Nguyen draws inspiration from disparate historical periods and cultural traditions, collapsing time and distance to create new worlds. Nguyen embodies this approach not only in the content of his work, which references art history, science fiction, contemporary subjects, and the artist’s personal life, but also in his materials, which draw from Medieval, Renaissance, and traditional Japanese painting practices. This exhibition presents the artist’s first paintings made directly on copper panels, a painting technique first developed during the Middle Ages and later popularized by Old Masters such as Rembrandt and Jan Brueghel the Elder.
A Celebration: Acquisitions in Honor of the Morgan's Centennial | The Morgan Library & Museum
May 9–Aug 17, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
In the century since its founding as a public institution, the Morgan’s collections have grown dramatically, deepening the core assembled by J. Pierpont Morgan and his librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, who became the first Director of the institution. This growth is made possible through the support of members and donors who expand and enrich the historical, artistic, and literary contexts of the Morgan’s holdings, and this exhibition commemorates a notable selection of purchases, gifts, and promised gifts made in honor of the Morgan’s Centennial. Ranging from the Middle Ages to the present, the Centennial acquisition highlights include two manuscripts related to the publication of Leonardo da Vinci’s Treatise on Painting; Renaissance and modern bookbindings of exceptional craftsmanship; an extraordinary group of manuscripts related to Queen Elizabeth I, Marie de’ Medici, Edgar Allan Poe, and John Coltrane; groups of photographs by Emmet Gowin and Frederick Sommer; and drawings by Parmigianino, Annibale Carracci, Cy Twombly, Helen Frankenthaler, Giuseppe Penone, and Bridget Riley.
Superfine: Tailoring Black Style | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
May 10–Oct 26, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world.
Inspired by Guest Curator Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity, the exhibition will explore the importance of sartorial style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora. Historically, the term dandy was used to describe someone—often a man—who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants. Dandyism offered Black people an opportunity to use clothing, gesture, irony, and wit to transform their given identities and imagine new ways of embodying political and social possibilities.
The exhibition will tell the Black dandy’s story over time through a range of media, such as garments and accessories, drawings and prints, and paintings, photographs, film excerpts, and more. Taken together, these narratives offer a history and description of Black dandyism as a discrete phenomenon that reflects broader issues of power and race in the Black diaspora.

Iba Ndiaye: Between Latitude and Longitude | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
May 31, 2025–May 31, 2026 (UTC-5)
New York
Between Latitude and Longitude constitutes the inaugural exhibition in the Michael C. Rockefeller Wing’s in-focus gallery, part of the complete major reenvisioning of The Met collection of African art. In celebration of the initiative, an artistic landmark work by Senegalese Modernist Iba Ndiaye (1928–2008), Tabaski, a gift to The Met, is being ushered into the collection.

A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250 | The Morgan Library & Museum
Jun 6–Sep 14, 2025 (UTC-5)
New York
A Lively Mind immerses viewers in the inspiring story of Jane Austen’s authorship and her gradual rise to international fame. Iconic artifacts from Jane Austen’s House in Chawton, England join manuscripts, books, and artworks from the Morgan, as well as from a dozen institutional and private collections, to present compelling new perspectives on Austen’s literary achievement, her personal style, and her global legacy.
Beginning as a teenager, Austen cultivated her imaginative powers and her ambition to publish. Encouraged by her family, especially her father and her sister Cassandra, she persevered through years of uncertainty. Her creativity found expression in a range of artistic pursuits, from music-making to a delight in fashion. The story of how Americans first encountered and responded to Austen’s novels, unbeknownst to her, emerges from four surviving copies of an unauthorized edition of Emma published during her lifetime. Following Austen’s death, family members preserved their memories of her, while carefully guarding what was publicly revealed. Austen’s audience continued to grow as those who loved her novels helped new generations of readers to appreciate them. In addition to celebrating Austen, A Lively Mind commemorates the landmark gift of Austen manuscripts to the Morgan in 1975 by Alberta H. Burke and draws extensively on the extraordinary collection she bequeathed to Goucher College in Baltimore.

In a fast-paced, sexy, ghostly adventure, a publicist at the top of her game must confront her secret mystical past.
To be a client of Gwendolyn Montgomery—New York’s most powerful publicist, at Sublime Creative—is to be infused with a certain oomph, a mysterious glamour. She seems to have created the ideal life with her handsome new boyfriend, the perfect match. But Gwendolyn has a legion of long-buried secrets that could unravel everything.
After a grisly, bizarre incident at the Brooklyn Museum, Gwendolyn begins to realize that something nefarious is happening tied directly to her past, right as Fonsi Harewood comes back into her world. Fonsi is a queer Latinx psychic from the South Bronx who’s caught up in a love triangle with a ghost and his mortal ex. He’s able to communicate with the dead, and he comes with a dire warning for Gwendolyn, that the barrier between humans and spirits is weakening.
Gwendolyn would prefer not to have anything to do with ghostly drama. Yet in order to get to the bottom of the spookiness derailing her life and threatening the world, she must face the demons she’d long left behind.
The Ghosts of Gwendolyn Montgomery
is a sensuous, funny, mystical adventure that will leave you spellbound as you keep the pages turning.

Synopsis:
Desolate after experiencing a traumatic incident, Nia travels to the family's summer retreat amid the snow-covered Himalayas in order to regain her strength. There she finds the company of the caretaker’s mother-in-law, Bhemi, and her grandson, Sunny. Irrespective of their differing ages, social background and their ideas of happiness, a surprisingly strong bond develops between them, which cannot be broken, not even by the arrival of someone who drives Nia straight back into her trauma. This visually mesmerising film offers an authentic and vivid depiction of the process of coping with female pain and demonstrates that a second chance might emerge where we least expect it.
Subhadra
was born & raised in Himachal Pradesh & currently resides in Mumbai. She has had a long collaboration with Pan Nalin, most notably in co-writing ANGRY INDIAN GODDESSES (2015) which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, was Runner Up for the Audience Choice Award & released theatrically in over 60 countries. It won accolades for being ground-breaking in its truthful, non-apologetic depiction of womanhood in contemporary India. Subhadra’s debut feature film as a writer-director; SECOND CHANCE (2024) premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Proxima Competition. The film garnered rave reviews across the board with The Hollywood Reporter praising the film for ‘effortlessly blending gentle humour with poignant drama’; and Variety declaring her as one of the ‘new female Indian filmmakers at the vanguard of a movement, whose movies share a certain, wise-beyond-their-years poetry.’ The film has travelled to some of the leading festivals in different corners of the world such as Busan International Film Festival, AFI Fest, Sao Paulo International Film Festival, Adelaide Film Festival, International Film Festival of Kerala and continues this journey in 2025. A Berlinale Talent of 2025, when she is not developing films in the mad city of Mumbai, Subhadra regularly takes time out to travel, often escaping deep into the Himalayas, determined to stay in touch with her roots & keep her soul intact.
