Upcoming Exhibitions
James Clar: Powers of Ten
Saturday, January 11–Sunday, March 30, 2025
Featuring the artist’s signature light sculptures, videos, and installations, James Clar’s first solo museum exhibition explores sensory experience and personal narratives through the lens of technology and new media. In this mid-career presentation, guest curated by Larissa Kolesnikova, Clar reflects on personal transformation and his journey across the globe from New York to Manila. He also revisits his earlier work with world-class athletes and professional video gamers, which investigated energetic patterns of the human mind, information retention, and semantic memory.
Isabel Yellin: Mothership
Saturday, January 11–Sunday, March 30, 2025
Over the last decade, Los Angeles-based artist Isabel Yellin has earned a reputation for her sculptures made from fabric sewn into twisting, serpentine shapes evocative of the body. Mothership, her first solo museum exhibition, represents a new era in her work, aiming to give form to the defenses we build in and around ourselves to encase and protect our most vulnerable parts in the wake of profound loss. In a new series of abstract paintings and metal-and-silicone reliefs, Yellin reflects on her own experiences of trauma, loss, and grief, pairing her work for the first time with recently discovered paintings by her late mother, Anne Locksley.
