MoMA PS1 has launched the sixth edition of Greater New York, its signature quinquennial survey featuring 53 artists living and working across the city's five boroughs. Marking the institution’s 50th anniversary, this iteration was organized entirely by the museum’s internal curatorial staff rather than outside contributors. The exhibition moves away from the introspective, surrealist themes of the pandemic-era 2021 edition, focusing instead on the social fabric of the city and the systemic challenges facing its residents.

Photographer Lee Jung-jin has launched a major solo exhibition titled "Unseen/Thing" at PKM Gallery in Seoul, marking her first solo show in six years. The exhibition is divided into two parts: her latest "Unseen" series, captured during a 2024 trip to Iceland, and her "Thing" series from the early 2000s, which features analog still lifes printed on traditional Korean hanji paper. The new works depart from Lee’s previous focus on the static silence of deserts, instead capturing the volatile, forceful energy of the Icelandic landscape.
