Paloma Elsesser, Joan Jonas, and Isha Ambani Descended Upon Beacon for a Day at Dia

On a warm spring Saturday, the Dia Art Foundation hosted its annual Spring Benefit at Dia Beacon, drawing a cross-disciplinary crowd of artists, curators, museum leaders, and fashion figures. The event celebrated the opening of seven major exhibitions across the Beacon campus, featuring works by John Chamberlain, Lee Ufan, Kishio Suga, and Jack Whitten, and marked the rollout of a new partnership with Chanel. Guests explored over 20 galleries, enjoyed a seasonal lunch amid Chamberlain's sculptures, and participated in a special children's program, all set within the former Nabisco box-printing factory along the Hudson River.

Postcard from North Carolina

The Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University is celebrating its twentieth anniversary with the exhibition "Everything Now All at Once," on view from August 21 to November 1, 2026. The show gathers landmark works from the museum's contemporary collection, emphasizing artists and perspectives historically excluded from dominant narratives. Curated by director Trevor Schoonmaker and curator Dr. Xuxa Rodriguez, the exhibition is presented as an evolving visual mixtape rather than a fixed archive, reflecting the cultural exchange of North Carolina's Research Triangle.
