Chelsea: Gallery Walk

Life with P. explores a lesser-known side of Philip Guston’s practice, focusing on works inspired by his marriage to poet Musa McKim and their life in Woodstock. The exhibition includes Guston’s “Poem Pictures,” drawings responding to McKim’s writing, along with large figurative paintings never previously exhibited. It coincides with a new publication featuring McKim’s journals from 1966–1976, edited by their daughter, Musa Mayer.

Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982 is an exhibition of historic works from John Armleder's Furniture Sculpture series. Found decorative objects accompany paintings, bridging the artist and the viewer through generous access points of association. Inspired by Erik Satie's furniture music and John Cage's embrace of chance, the works foreground collectivity — shaped by Armleder's time in prison and on a rowing team — over individual authorship. Leaving works untitled asserts a Duchampian belief that meaning belongs to the viewer, not the artist.

Meg Webster presents new sculptures and drawings following Webster's major exhibition at Dia Beacon. The centerpiece, Thicket (2026), layers plant cuttings into a dense spiraling structure wide enough to enter, making the body an active participant in the work. New drawings on paper use organic materials — spices, powdered vegetables and flowers — rubbed directly onto square sheets, centering color, texture, and scent. A three-part beeswax sculptural relief extends this engagement with embodied perception. Throughout, Webster continues her four-decade practice of bringing natural materials into dialogue with Minimalism's formal vocabulary.

Philippe Parreno: Noor pivots to light as the constitutive element of the exhibition, taking its title from the Arabic and Persian word for light and invoking the emanationist cosmology of the Persian mystic Suhrawardi, in which all creation flows from a Supreme Light of Lights. Illuminated marquees, specially crafted light fixtures, and algorithmically determined sequences create a living, mutable mise-en-scène in which objects respond to one another. A new animation, In the Moontime, drives drawings through Conway's "Game of Life" cellular automaton — panels lighting up and going dark across seven narrative families, generating stories that emerge, persist, and dissolve without beginning or end. Conceived as a tribute to Barbara Gladstone.

The exhibition surveys David Lamelas’s multifaceted practice across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, and film. A performance, a nonlinear presentation of works from 1965 to the present, and a film program together reflect his ongoing investigation of information, communication, and perception.
