The exhibition will feature the bronze sculptures in the Royal Gardens and later Abakans in the Senators' Hall, where they will be juxtaposed with valuable tapestries from the era of Sigismund Augustus, creating an interesting dialogue between modern art and the Renaissance heritage.

Magdalena Abakanowicz. La trame de l’existence /
Magdalena Abakanowicz: The Fabric of Existence

Musée Bourdelle | Paris
November 20, 2025 - April 12, 2026

The subtitle of the exhibition, “the Thread of Existence” combines two terms used by the artist to define her work. She considered fabric to be the elementary cell of the human body, marked by the vagaries of its destiny.

Resulting from three years of work, the project has received active support from the Marta Magdalena Abakanowicz Kosmowska and Jan Kosmowski Foundation (Warsaw), the Polish Institute, and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute. The main lenders are the Marta Magdalena Abakanowicz Kosmowska and Jan Kosmowski Foundation in Warsaw, the Toms Pauli Foundation in Lausanne, the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź, the Tate Modern in London, the National Museum in Wrocław, and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.

Faceted Fiber

Bridgeport Art Center | Chicago, Illinois
November 21, 2025 - January 2, 2026

Faceted Fiber, curated by Marci Rubin, showcases art involving diverse discourse and techniques of fiber or textile-based artworks. Focusing on the materials and process as part of the artworks’ significance, this exhibition emphasizes the artistic and aesthetic value of a fiber-based project over its utility.

By reclaiming and celebrating textile arts in the 1970’s, feminist artists challenged the established art/craft binary. These inspiring artists employed techniques and actions such as sewing, quilting, macrame, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, rug-making, and basket weaving into their work, thrusting them into the realm of fine art. Artists such as Sheila Hicks, Bisa Butler, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringold, and Magdalena Abakanowicz, paved the way for the acceptance of non-traditional artistic practices and perspectives.

It Requires Getting Lost

Castlefield Gallery | Manchester, England
November 1, 2025 - February 22, 2026

It Requires Getting Lost is the result of a unique partnership between the Roberts Institute of Art (RIA), Venture Arts and Castlefield Gallery. Three artists working in the North of England –– Gregory Herbert, Malik Jama and Jocelyn McGregor –– have been invited by the partner organisations to work in dialogue with one another and in response to major works from one of the UK’s most significant private collections, the David and Indrė Roberts Collection (managed by RIA). These major works, co-selected by all involved, will be featured in the exhibition.

Spending time with the collection commenced a research period designed to support Herbert, Jama and McGregor to develop new work for the exhibition at Castlefield Gallery. These new works will be exhibited alongside the works by Magdalena Abakanowicz, Noemie Goudal, Pierre Huyghe, Leon Kossoff, and Wolfgang Tillmans from the David and Indrė Roberts Collection. Sharing and exploring together has shaped Hebert, Jama and McGregor’s development process.

Collection in Conversation with Pablo Helguera

Museum of Contemporary Art | Chicago, Illinois
August 2, 2025 - July 5, 2026

Can you think of a moment in your life when turmoil and darkness brought meaningful insight?

That was one of several questions that artist and educator Pablo Helguera posed to a group of 20 Chicago artists, writers, activists, and educators in the fall of 2024. The group had converged at the MCA as part of Helguera’s work on a new exhibition of the museum’s permanent collection. Their conversations, which ranged from the role of art in moments of uncertainty to the ways that confusion or misalignment can lead to creative possibilities, form the basis of Collection in Conversation with Pablo Helguera.

The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler

Museum of Arts and Design | New York
May 29, 2025 - April 19, 2026

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) invites audiences into the glamorous, witty, and wonderful universe of celebrated ceramicist and designer Jonathan Adler. In his first curatorial role, Adler presents more than 60 works from the Museum’s permanent collection, alongside his own iconic designs. The exhibition brings Adler’s singular design vision to MAD’s collection, spotlighting the artists, materials, techniques, and ideas that have inspired his aesthetic.

Organized into thematic vignettes, the exhibition offers a tour through Adler’s fascinations: Authentica celebrates the sleek forms of mid-century modern ceramics; Optimistica embraces exuberance in all its forms; Funkiana and Kottler-ia explore craft’s capacity for satire and subversion; Erotica turns up the heat with sensual works in ceramic, fiber, and glass; and Americalia, Metallica, and Animalia round out the exhibition with patriotic pastiche, glimmering metalwork, and Adler’s Mother Nature-inspired menagerie.

Adler has built an international reputation for his innovative approach to design, which deftly combines humor, impeccable style, and skilled craftsmanship. The exhibition marks a return to the time and place it all began—in 1993 he sold his first pots in the Museum’s store (then known as the American Craft Museum). The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler brings his creative journey full circle.

The latest in MAD’s collection-based exhibition series, The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler will be extended through a series of related public programs featuring the designer at the Museum. Additionally, The Store at MAD will stock a selection of iconic Jonathan Adler products.
