Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron
Portraits to Dream In

March 21–June 16, 2024
National Portrait Gallery, London
www.npg.org.uk

Photographers Francesca Woodman (1958–1981) and Julia Margaret Cameron (1815–1879) lived a century apart—Cameron working in the United Kingdom and Sri Lanka from the 1860s onwards, and Woodman in the United States and Italy from the 1970s. Both women explored portraiture, going beyond its ability to record appearance, and using their own creativity and imagination to suggest notions of beauty, symbolism, transformation, and storytelling. Showcasing more than 150 rare vintage prints, this exhibition presents an overview of both artists’ careers, and suggests new ways both to look at their work and to examine how photographic portraiture was created in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Taryn Simon
Start Again the Lament

Through November 30, 2024
Cisternerne, Frederiksbergmuseerne, Frederiksberg, Denmark
frederiksbergmuseerne.dk

Start Again the Lament is an extensive sound installation by Taryn Simon broadcast into the subterranean urban dripstone cave of the Cisternerne. Performed by professional mourners, the work explores how people mourn individually and collectively, considering the anatomy of grief and whom we choose to guide us through it. These sonic rituals of loss and discontent—including northern Albanian, Wayuu, Greek Epirotic, and Yazidi laments—transform the exhibition space into an instrument echoing recitations with a reverberation of seventeen seconds.

Dix und die Gegenwart

Through April 1, 2024
Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Germany
www.deichtorhallen.de

This exhibition, whose title translates to Dix and the Present, explores the work of Otto Dix (1891–1969) and the artist’s enduring influence. It focuses on the ostensibly apolitical work Dix created beginning in 1933, which was less aggressive than his radical and provocative paintings of the 1920s. His Nazi-era landscapes, commissioned portraits, and Christian allegories were instead subtle and subversive forms of contemporary social critique. The exhibition aims to reveal the shifting cultural and social parameters in the reception of Dix’s art, while also demonstrating how his oeuvre continues to fascinate more than forty contemporary artists. Work by Georg Baselitz, Glenn Brown, John Currin, Nan Goldin, and Anselm Kiefer is included.

Von Gerhard Richter bis Mary Heilmann
Abstrakte Malerei aus Privat und Museumsbesitz

Through April 28, 2024
Kunst Museum Winterthur, Switzerland
www.kmw.ch

This exhibition, whose title translates as From Gerhard Richter to Mary Heilmann: Abstract Art from Private Collections and the Museum’s Holdings, explores a shift in painting from the 1980s onward. At this time artists—painters in particular—developed a newfound freedom in relation to the work of the historical avant-garde, successfully combining the language of abstraction with reality, and in so doing creating something entirely new and fresh. Work by Richter and Heilmann will be shown alongside paintings from both the museum’s holdings and private collections, including work by Katharina Grosse and David Reed.
