Our solo presentation for Frieze New York with new work from Joanne Burke opens next week in the Focus section, Stand F02.

In her metallic sculptures and wall-based works, Burke is primarily concerned with hydrofeminism, a posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands the body as essentially linked to the natural world. Burke interprets water as an infinite, nonphysical essence that resists representation or definition.

Nevine Mahmoud’s solo exhibition Second Nature is now open at Asia Society Texas. The exhibition runs until 4 October, 2026.

Mahmoud unearths uncanny worlds from stone: jumbo-sized fruits drip with glass, a contorted marble faun arcs like an acrobat, and children’s toys are immortalized in white alabaster. Though her subjects range from the luscious to the surreal to the playful, Mahmoud’s sculptures manipulate our understanding of nature. For Second Nature, Mahmoud’s works, including a new commission, are placed throughout Asia Society Texas’ public spaces.

Dean Sameshima’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, Wonderland, is now open.

The body of work that Sameshima titles Wonderland (1995–97) includes four series of images that the artist photographed and exhibited during his time studying under Allan Sekula at CalArts. One group commemoratively documents the exteriors of queer sex clubs and bathhouses at the time, mostly located in Silverlake, Los Angeles, which was home to a considerable LGBTQIA+ community prior to its devastation by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In this exhibition, titled after the series, Sameshima brings together all seven of these images alongside a selection of photographs of specific sites in nearby Griffith Park in Los Angeles and Harbor City Recreational Park in Lomita, which were both notorious cruising areas. Wonderland marks the first time a substantial group of these works has been shown together since the early 2000s.

Now representative of lost time and place, Sameshima prefigured a kind of grief in these images, photographing these sites during the day, unpopulated and virtually unrecognisable. Although likely more immediately identifiable to Sameshima and his contemporaries at the time, these building exteriors or urban spaces were left deliberately unmarked to prioritise the safety of their patrons or visitors. The absence of figure or noteworthy detail in these images, was therefore essential to their subjects’ existence. Sameshima discovered many of these spaces through research in local papers like Frontiers – a free, weekly, gay publication – and gay phone lines, as well as via the men he hooked up with, who would often share their reviews and tips on where else to go, which areas were safe, recent police busts or locations where undercover officers were often stationed. Despite their palpable stillness, there is much activity implied in the photographs, but the artist chose – and continues to choose – to catalogue the spaces themselves rather than what happens within them.

Nevine Mahmoud is currently included in Dolce Far Niente, a group exhibition curated by Irina Stark at Foundry Seoul until 9 May.

“Nevine Mahmoud’s sculpture Swing Set hovers between memory and desire, transforming a familiar playground structure into a sensuous hybrid form. Smooth marble and glass surfaces introduce bodily associations into otherwise clinical geometries, subtly blurring innocence and eroticism. On one hand, viewers are reminded of carefree childhood days filled with laughter; on the other, Mahmoud subverts these forms and meanings, bringing forward the pleasures of adult relationships while inviting us to continue cherishing our inner child.” —Irina Stark
