Zio Ziegler's 'The Tesseract' Opens at Almine Rech Tribeca Through October 21, 2026
Zio Ziegler's latest solo exhibition, titled 'The Tesseract,' is currently displayed at Almine Rech's Tribeca venue (361 Broadway) until October 21, 2026. Visitors can explore the exhibition from Tuesday to Saturday, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The showcase comprises four interlinked series: patterned paintings, monochromatic abstractions, biomorphic 'Essential Figures,' and totemic bronze sculptures, including 'Figure In The Garden: Temptation.' Drawing inspiration from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses,' the 'Epic of Gilgamesh,' and biblical texts, Ziegler delves into themes of transformation and expulsion, connecting them to AI, labor, and climate change. The exhibition juxtaposes ancient stories with modern challenges, highlighting artistic diversity against a backdrop of algorithmic uniformity. Ziegler also features in his work, particularly in 'Self Portrait: Felix Culpa,' merging personal and mythological themes.
