Saya Woolfalks immersive installations are as visually stunning as they are intellectually engaging, winning ardent admirers worldwide. Lavishly illustrated, Saya Woolfalk: The Empathic Universe surveys two decades of her groundbreaking work including the artists: garment-based sculptures, installations, videos, paintings, and live performances. The Empathics are a fictional race of women whose story runs throughout Woolfalks artworks. Their name reflects the hope that future societies will develop stronger empathy for one another, and their visual culture has its own distinctive imagery, symbolism, and folklore, incorporating aspects of African, African-American, Japanese, European, and Brazilian art, craft, and storytelling.

👉 Saya Woolfalk: Empathic Universe is on view through September 7, 2026. You can get your copy of the catalogue at the museum or online.

“Rivaling Reality: 60 Years of Photorealism” pays homage to the illusory power of painting and takes readers on a worldwide stroll through the everyday culture of the modern era. Images of vehicles with gleaming chrome in middle-class residential areas, brightly colored candies, shimmering lipstick cases, deserted fast-food restaurants, and garish advertisements captivate through their technical brilliance and astounding precision, which seek to compete with photography while consciously turning away from abstraction.

The book includes work by Alexandra Averbach, John Baeder, Robert Bechtle, Charles Bell, Roberto Bernardi, Tom Blackwell, Pedro Campos, Andres Castellanos, François Chartier, Chuck Close, Robert Cottingham, Don Eddy, Richard Estes, Audrey Flack, Ben Johnson, Ralph Goings, Richard McLean, Malcolm Morley, Johannes Müller-Franken, Ron Kleemann, Karin Kneffel, David Parrish, Rod Penner, Gerhard Richter, John Salt, Raphaella Spence, and Craig Wylie, and more.

The energy requirements of buildings are enormous, resulting in a significant proportion of global carbon dioxide emissions, both in the construction phase and during the building’s use and eventual demolition. In an era of energy transition and extreme weather phenomena, the question of how we build in a time of climate change becomes all the more urgent.

“Architecture and Energy: Building in the Age of Climate Change” presents international best-practice projects characterized by sustainable design and provides forward-looking answers.

Essays on the four elements, women and weather, peril, and satire reveal changing attitudes following the Scientific Revolution, while interviews with a climate scientist and a psychologist, and an essay on an immersive installation by artists Christa Donner and Andrew S.

Plates include unique graphic interventions by Donner and Yang made exclusively for the publication.

Today is World Book Day, and we don’t need to tell you how much we love books! 📚

Watching a book get printed is always a special moment. A few weeks ago, we visited .one to watch the printing of Christian Marclay’s “Cities.” The book follows the artist’s wanderings, transforming urban fragments into a visual and sonic score. Featuring texts by Sérgio Mah and Olivia Laing, plus a conversation with Ben Luke, the book uncovers the rhythms and poetry embedded in everyday city life and amplifies Marclay’s artistic practice at the intersection between visual arts, popular culture, and contemporary sound expression.

Thanks to .one for the fantastic result! 🙌

Two generations of esoteric exploration and material transmutation: The first examination of Beth Ames Swartz and Julianne Swartz’s intergenerational investigation of ethereal systems and the transcendent potential of art, highlighting the alignments within the artistic practices of mother and daughter.

TENDER ALCHEMY demonstrates the intergenerational dialogue between the artistic practices of and Julianne Swartz. As mother and daughter, the artists maintain distinct aesthetics while sharing an affinity for investigating the ethereal and spiritual potential of art. The essays by Susan L. Aberth (), Nancy Princenthal, and Lauren O’Connell (.r.oconnell) and illustrations featured underscore art’s interconnection with alchemy, spiritualism, physics, animism, and psychology, and contextualize the contemporary artists within the lineage of art movements such as transcendentalism, phenomenology, and participatory art.

👉 TENDER ALCHEMY is on view through August 23, 2026. You can get your copy of the catalogue at the museum or online.
