Iván Argote: How to Move a Monument on a Tuesday Morning
3 October 2026 – 31 January 2027
Iván Argote brings together video, sculpture, and bas-relief to reconsider how public monuments shape collective memory, political power, and our understanding of history. Through humor, imagination, and playful interventions, his work challenges the supposed permanence of these structures and invites viewers to envision new possibilities for the stories they represent.
UPCOMING
Oren Pinhassi: Into Your Arm’s Length
19 November 2026 – 28 February 2027
Oren Pinhassi’s anthropomorphic sculptures blur the boundaries between body and architecture. Composed of materials such as sand, stone, and vinyl, these forms evoke what the artist describes as “erotic construction,” using sensuality, vulnerability, and abstraction to explore themes of desire, intimacy, and the reciprocal relationship between bodies and the spaces they inhabit.
Into Your Arm's Length is curated by Janine Mileaf and organized by The Arts Club of Chicago. This exhibition is supported in part by the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.
Monira Al Qadiri: Alien Technology
4 November 2026 – 6 December 2026
Monira Al Qadiri’s thought-provoking installation of two major works considers what it means transform within a rapidly changing world. Through video and large-scale sculpture, Al Qadiri becomes a mythopoeic figure, constructing new beings of cosmic proportions.
Alien Technology is presented as a part of the 2026 Aurora Biennial, States of Becoming.
