exhibition · 2026-05-01

In Chelsea, New York, two exhibitions are currently running: Thomas Hirschhorn's installation at 515 W. 24th Street is open until February 11, while Roxy Paine's work can be viewed at 533 W. 26th Street until February 25. Their artworks embody opposing philosophical themes, reflecting Dionysian and Apollonian concepts. Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, David Carrier critiques the curatorial choices of Manifesta 10. The exhibition titled Life on Mars features 39 artists, among them Mark Bradford and Cao Fei, with only 12 women included, sparking criticism for its representation diversity and the prevalence of US and European artists.
