Studio Museum in Harlem Presents 'Geometries' with 30+ Artists

exhibition · 2026-09-16

The Studio Museum in Harlem is showcasing 'Geometries', an exhibition that delves into mathematics as a source of artistic exploration, focusing on how shape, structure, and space inform our understanding of the world. Running until 31 January 2027 in New York, this exhibition features over 30 artists and navigates between abstraction and figuration, highlighting geometry's influence on artistic expression through the ages. By contrasting the precise language of Western geometric abstraction with West African textile patterns, the show challenges the idea of geometry as neutral. Artists such as Julie Mehretu, Sonia Boyce, Torkwase Dyson, and others present works that reflect on how lines and forms convey emotion, identity, and modernist histories. The exhibition opened on 16 September 2026.
