“I am constantly trying to instill my work with this bright sense of energy. It’s an interesting energy. It’s definitely an energy that you sort of have to delve into the unknown.”— Lee Ufan

A major presentation of work by #LeeUfan explores his enduring commitment to bringing materials and gestures into fields of relation that register temporal, spatial, and material conditions.

Organized by Dia Art Foundation (@diaartfoundation) at SMAC Venice (@smac_venice), the exhibition includes sculptures, paintings, and installations highlighting Lee’s longstanding dialogue with architectural space.

Lee Ufan Collateral Event of the 61st International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia
SMAC Venice, Procuratie, Piazza San Marco, 105
May 9 – November 22

A concurrent presentation of Lee Ufan’s paintings and sculptures are now on view at Dia Beacon in Beacon, New York.

LEE UFAN • Now open: “Lee Ufan” at Dia Beacon, curated by Matilde Guidelli-Guidi.

As Dia presents a major exhibition of Lee Ufan’s work in Venice this month, a concurrent presentation is now on view at Dia Beacon. Together, the two exhibitions mark the artist’s 90th birthday and reflect the breadth of his practice across decades, disciplines, and geographies.

Alongside three sculptures emblematic of his Mono-ha period, the exhibition presents eight paintings dating from the 1970s through the early 1990s, which recently entered Dia’s collection and where the artist foregrounded the canvas as a space populated by both presence and absence.

“Characterized by systematic brushstrokes and a cyclical process of material exhaustion, Lee’s paintings weigh presence and absence as a philosophical endeavor, while the dense mineral pigments they are made of glimmer in the natural-light conditions of Dia Beacon,” said curator Matilde Guidelli-Guidi. “Pairing these with a selection of his sculptures, the exhibition demonstrates the key registers of Lee’s exemplary practice, from the playful and the suspenseful to the meditative and the reflective.”

ANISH KAPOOR • During the 61st International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Anish Kapoor presents an ambitious new exhibition at Palazzo Manfrin, the 16th century Palazzo and Venetian landmark in Cannaregio which is home to the artist’s Foundation.

“Anish Kapoor: Palazzo Manfrin” brings together around 100 architectural models documenting projects both realised and unrealised from the past 50 years of Kapoor’s practice, alongside a series of large-scale installations and stainless-steel works. “Anish Kapoor: Palazzo Manfrin“ presents Kapoor’s idiosyncratic approach to the space of the object and its potential to create new space in our encounter with it.

In the exhibition Kapoor explores the transformational quality of sculpture in new architecturally scaled works. Visitors are welcomed into the Palazzo via a monumental new black-pigment iteration of Kapoor’s seminal work, At the Edge of the World (1998), measuring eight-metres in diameter and suspended from the ceiling. A new towering mirror work is exhibited, alongside the iconic Descent into Limbo (1992).

100% MATCH • On the occasion of François Morellet’s exhibition “Géométrie dans les spasmes,” Mennour is hosting an exclusive singles’ event focused on socializing and discovery.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the artist’s work during an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition led by curator Christian Alandete, followed by drinks in the gallery.

Visitors will be able to explore a rarely seen series by the artist, in which he introduces eroticism into the rigor of the concrete and catalogs sexual positions using simple shapes—rectangles and squares. Blending geometric precision with a playful approach, François Morellet’s work invites us to take a fresh look at art.

This evening will be an opportunity to blend culture and conversation in an artistic setting conducive to unexpected encounters.

📅 Tuesday, May 19, 7:30pm
📍 Mennour, 6 rue du Pont de Lodi, Paris
🎟️ Free, booking required (link in bio)

.

À l’occasion de l’exposition « Géométrie dans les spasmes » de François Morellet, Mennour organise une soirée spéciale placée sous le signe des rencontres et de la découverte, dédiée aux célibataires.

Les participant·e·s auront l’opportunité de découvrir l’univers de l’artiste lors d’une visite guidée exceptionnelle de l’exposition, menée par son commissaire Christian Alandete, suivie d’un cocktail dans la galerie.

Les visiteur·euse·s pourront découvrir une série méconnue de l’artiste, où il introduit l’érotisme dans la rigueur du concret et dresse un inventaire des postures sexuelles à l’aide de formes simples, rectangles et carrés. Entre rigueur géométrique et esprit ludique, l’œuvre de François Morellet invite à porter un regard neuf sur l’art.

Cette soirée sera l’occasion de mêler culture et échanges, dans un cadre artistique propice aux rencontres inattendues.

YINKA SHONIBARE • Mennour is thrilled to announce the representation of British artist Yinka Shonibare (1962-).

Born in London to Nigerian parents, he moved to Lagos at the age of three. Returning to England to study Fine Art at Byam Shaw School of Art, London and received his MFA from @goldsmithscca.
 
His interdisciplinary practice employs physical materials such as Dutch wax textiles and bronze as vehicles for exploring complex historical, political, and cultural ideas. In doing so, the work uses material history as a lens for broader reflection, inviting a rethinking of how we perceive culture and encourage new ways of understanding the world around us.
 
In 2002, Shonibare was commissioned by Okwui Enwezor to create an installation for Documenta XI. In 2004, he was nominated for the Turner Prize, and in 2008 his mid-career survey began at the @mca_australia, Sydney travelling to the @brooklynmuseum, New York and the @smithsonian_africanart, Washington D.C. in 2009. In 2010, his first public art commission was displayed on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, London, and now resides in the permanent collection of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Elected a Royal Academician in 2013 and awarded a CBE in 2019, that same year his installation The British Library was acquired by @tate, London. In 2021, Shonibare received the @whitechapelgallery Art Icon Award and later that year, he opened a major retrospective at the @museumdermodernesalzburg.

In 2022, Shonibare launched @gasfoundation, a non-profit founded and developed by the artist. The Foundation is dedicated to facilitating cultural exchange through residencies, public programmes and exhibition opportunities for creative practitioners from around the world. The live/work residency spaces are set across sites in Lagos and a rural working farm in Ijebu, Ogun State.

Shonibare’s works are in notable museum collections internationally, including @tate, @vamuseum, @smithsonian_africanart, @themuseumofmodernart, @modernamuseet, @mcachicago, @lagallerianazionale and @vandenbroek_foundation.

His first solo exhibition at Mennour is planned for October 2026 at 5 rue du Pont de Lodi, Paris.

FRANÇOIS MORELLET • Today we celebrate the birth of François Morellet, who would have turned 100 on April 30, 2026. On this occasion, the initiative #100xMorellet of the Fonds de dotation Morellet and the Centre Pompidou brings together more than twenty institutions in tribute to one of the major figures of contemporary art:

François Morellet (1926-2016), a prolific, self-taught artist, developed a radical approach to geometric abstraction in his paintings, sculptures and installations over a career spanning more than six decades. Working primarily with basic geometric forms and using multiple materials in his works (steel, neon tubes, adhesive tape, wire mesh, wood...), Morellet committed himself to a methodology of rigorous objectivity and personal detachment.

Morellet’s work is found in the greatest public collections in France, as well as many collections internationally, but he also made a lasting impression on public space, with over 100 works visible in our cities – on building façades, in gardens, at train stations and on public squares. Thanks to the freedom and humour with which he used the vocabulary of geometric abstraction, he was able to create a living dialogue between art, architecture and the public.

The aim of #100xMorellet is to re-examine Morellet’s legacy, his position in art history, his relationship to heritage and architecture, and his enduring influence on contemporary artists.

François Morellet (1926-2016), a prolific, self-taught artist, developed a radical approach to geometric abstraction in his paintings, sculptures and installations over a career spanning more than six decades. Working primarily with basic geometric forms and using multiple materials in his works (steel, neon tubes, adhesive tape, wire mesh, wood...), Morellet committed himself to a methodology of rigorous objectivity and personal detachment.

Morellet’s work is found in the greatest public collections in France, as well as many collections internationally, but he also made a lasting impression on public space, with over 100 works visible in our cities – on building façades, in gardens, at train stations and on public squares. Thanks to the freedom and humour with which he used the vocabulary of geometric abstraction, he was able to create a living dialogue between art, architecture and the public.

The aim of #100xMorellet is to re-examine Morellet’s legacy, his position in art history, his relationship to heritage and architecture, and his enduring influence on contemporary artists.

FRANÇOIS MORELLET / SOPHIE TAEUBER-ARP • “Au hasard”, curated by Christian Alandete, is on view at 47 rue Saint-André-des-Arts, Paris until May 30, 2026.

The exhibition brings together two major figures of geometric abstraction, separated by a generation but united by the same desire to reconcile rigor and playfulness. For both Sophie Taeuber-Arp and François Morellet, form arises from the tension between order and chance.

An heir to the Dadaist spirit, Morellet borrows from Taeuber-Arp the notion of chance as a structuring principle, transforming the unexpected into method. Both develop protocols in which randomness becomes a measurable variable, integrated into the composition of serial systems, grids, and modular variations. The exhibition highlights this intellectual and artistic lineage.

This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Fondation Arp-Taeuber, Clamart.

🔳 This exhibition is part of #100xMorellet, an event organized to mark the centenary of François Morellet’s birth, at the initiative of the Fonds de dotation Morellet and the Centre Pompidou.

ANISH KAPOOR has been awarded the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize by the City of Duisburg and the Rhineland Regional Council. To mark this occasion, the Lehmbruck Museum is presenting the most comprehensive exhibition of Kapoor’s works in Germany in over a decade.

It shows the artist and his work in all its aspects: from early pigment works and fascinating mirror sculptures to monumental installations that connect body, space, and consciousness. Kapoor works with forms, colors, and materials that challenge us sensually and intellectually. They lead us to the question: how can we represent what is intangible, invisible, what constitutes the core of human beings?

Anish Kapoor has created an exhibition for the Lehmbruck Museum that harmonizes the impact of his works with the characteristics of this iconic modernist building. The exhibition focuses on themes that have moved us for centuries: Where do we come from and where are we going? It is about identity, memory, vulnerability, and infinity.

On view until August 30, 2026 at @lehmbruckmuseum
