Paul Carey-Kent Exhibition Explores Absences and Voids in Contemporary Art

exhibition · 2026-04-23

Paul Carey-Kent's exhibition examines how absences and voids can be made present in artistic practice. The show features a discussion between Bella Easton and Carey-Kent about this conceptual approach. Concurrently, twin surveys of Bas Jan Ader's brief but influential career are presented in London and New York. Analia Saban's exhibition 'Interiors' runs at Sprüth Magers in London from February 27 to March 28, 2015, located at 7A Grafton Street. Saban's work challenges traditional painting by questioning both paint and canvas, referencing artists like Binky Palermo and Lynda Benglis. A separate exhibition at the historic Städel Museum documents German painting from a significant period. Richard Diebenkorn's retrospective at the Royal Academy also receives attention. Another exhibition presents new work that explores cultural history, fashion, and representation. A site-specific installation by an artist identified only as Black subverts material conventions and gendered associations.
