Aspen Art Museum Summer Exhibitions Expand on AIR Initiative Themes

exhibition · 2026-07-16

The Aspen Art Museum has announced its summer exhibition lineup, featuring Adrián Villar Rojas, Arch Connelly, and Kerstin Brätsch. These shows extend the conversations initiated by the second installment of AIR, the museum's flagship initiative. AIR 2026 is scheduled for July 27–31, 2026, in Aspen. Villar Rojas's solo exhibition, First Gods, Lost Animals, occupies two floors and evokes the geological and mythological formation of a cave, treating the cave as a site of double accumulation—geological and cultural. A new co-commissioned sculpture is part of this environmental transformation.
