Berenice Olmedo’s solo exhibition, Phorá, is now entering its final week, with her newest body of work remaining on view through June 6th. If you haven’t had a chance to visit yet, the gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, and we look forward to welcoming you.

By giving each sculpture a distinct identity, Berenice Olmedo brings them closer to the status of individuals. At the same time, they never fully detach from one another. They remain connected through their shared origin and material logic. Together, they form a field of related presences, each separate, but none entirely alone.

Now on view in Pittsburgh, the 59th Carnegie International, "If the word we", features a significant presentation by Mohit Shelare. Curated by Ryan Inouye, Danielle A. Jackson, and Liz Park, it marks an important institutional milestone ahead of his first solo exhibition with the gallery this September. Stay tuned for more information!

If the word we | 59th Carnegie International
May 2, 2026 –January 3, 2027
Carnegie Museum of Art
4400 Forbes Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA

Mohit Shelare (b. 1992, Nagpur, India) develops his work from a rethinking of impurity as a philosophical ground. His work engages waste and toxins as an emergent commons of the contemporary world and situates these materials not as excess but as constitutive of an ontological shift. Moving across drawing, performance, text, moving image, objects, and conversational settings, Shelare’s practice unfolds beyond conventional notions of environment, elaborating nonsensory modes of living that unsettle historical fictions of impurity while reconfiguring the very systems of thought through which the world is imagined.

Shelare has exhibited at Watermans, London; Ashkal Alwan, Beirut; F**A, Delhi; Kunst(Zeug)Haus, Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland; CAMP Studio, Mumbai; and the Kochi-Muziris Students’ Biennale, Kerala, India. He has received the Prince Claus Seed Award (Netherlands) and Inlaks Fine Art Award (India) and support from the Regional Art Assembly (Australia), Five Million Incidents (India), Generator Experimenter (Kolkata), and India Foundation for the Arts (Bengaluru). He currently teaches as visiting faculty at the National Institute of Design, Kurukshetra.

Berenice Olmedo’s solo exhibition 'Phorá' is on view throughout the coming summer weeks.

Though the sculptures at times resemble body parts, the works do not represent the body. Instead, they test its limits, focusing on points where the body meets what supports or replaces it. Each form appears fragmentary, yet still suggests a larger whole, as though it had emerged from an ongoing process rather than being conceived in isolation.

Their surfaces reinforce this condition. The sculptures are covered in sheets of copper and silver, then oxidized through time and chemical treatment. The result is a skin that feels reactive and alive, marked by shifts in color and texture. These are not neutral finishes; they register transformation. The surface becomes a record of change, where the material continues to evolve even after the form has been set.

Jan Kaps is pleased to announce CANTO INFINITO, a solo exhibition by Jean-Marie Appriou at Palazzo Strozzi in Florence, opening this Friday.

Curated by Arturo Galansino, the project brings together a group of new works offering an insight into Appriou’s artistic practice, a distinctive voice of his generation in the redefinition of the idea of scultpure in contemporary art. The title of the exhibition CANTO INFINITO (“infinite song”) evokes the idea of a continuous flow without beginning or end, suggesting a dimension in which time, matter, and imagination remain in constant transformation. Conceived as an initiatory journey articulated through the rooms of the Project Space, the exhibition subtly draws on the legacy of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri—not as an illustrative model, but as a cultural and symbolic horizon.

Now on view at Kunstverein SALTS, Berenice Olmedo’s respiratory apparatuses serve as the vital heartbeat of Uncanny Garden, transforming mechanical function into a haunting meditation on our own vulnerability.

In a present in which synthetic representations, avatars, and algorithmic proxies are continuously produced, the human increasingly appears as a projection of itself. What once functioned as representation or play now serves as a medium of identification. Where proximity is simulated most convincingly, the familiar begins to feel strange. Anthropomorphic systems mark sites where questions of attribution, control, and vulnerability are negotiated. The exhibition explores what it means today to recognize ourselves in forms that resemble us – and to place trust in structures designed to represent, mirror, or improve the human.

"Uncanny Garden" remains on view for another three weeks, until May 29, and is open Wednesday–Friday, 12–6 pm.

An unseen work on paper Tobias Spichtig‘ is shining at Villa Merkel. ✨ ”Anti Heroes“ presents a selection from the Jakob Collection and makes its central concern visible: collecting and presenting contemporary art beyond art-historical systems, classifications, and market-driven logics. The anti-hero functions as a unifying principle between artists, the collection, and the audience.

Inspired by reflections on post-heroic heroism, including those by Ulrich Bröckling, the exhibition asks what forms of orientation art can offer today in a world shaped by crises, acceleration, uncertainty, and the rise of authoritarian forces. A conceptual reference point is Han Kang’s novel The Vegetarian. The protagonist does not resist her environment through strength or decisive action, but through withdrawal and refusal.

The focus is on works that forgo heroic narratives and grand gestures, instead foregrounding doubt, vulnerability, contradiction, and fragile failure. Between self-staging and failure, power and powerlessness, visibility and withdrawal, an ensemble of exhausted, contradictory, and vulnerable positions unfolds. Meaning emerges here where classical heroic figures fail and, within the anti-heroic, new forms of proximity, insight, and responsibility become possible.

Don’t miss! The new works by Berenice Olmedo are on view at Jan Kaps in her solo exhibition “Phorá“, a breathtaking transformation of the gallery into a landscape of luminous, metallic forms.

The works do not begin as autonomous forms. They originate in prosthetic and orthotic sockets, objects designed to support, stabilize, and extend the human body. Olmedo scans and reproduces these elements, then repositions them. What once served a precise, technical function becomes a new kind of presence. The sculptures carry the memory of their origin, but they no longer belong to it. They extend outward from systems of care and correction into a different register, where function gives way to form, and use gives way to autonomy.

The exhibitiom runs through June 3rd, 2026.
