“Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins: Three Dimensions” opens July 27th at the McIntosh Gallery, Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. The exhibition showcases the artists’ multidisciplinary art practice, with this iteration of the show featuring two installations: “Balancing Act and “THX2020,” combining painting, sculpture, kinetics, and interactivity.
 
“Balancing Act” consists of a user-controlled large-scale claw crane game where participants can stack sculptural components and create ad-hoc compositions. Accompanying the installation are paintings depicting various combinations of the sculptures. “THX2020” is an interconnected installation that combines paintings, narrative video, and an interactive headset that responds to bio-feedback by moving shapes on video screens. 
 
Taken together, “Three Dimensions” emphasizes viewer participation and explores themes of authenticity, agency, and the digital age through performativity and interactivity. Like many of their previous works, the installation references high and popular culture, combining science fiction, politics, and current events in a pop-minimalist setting where symbols are equalized in hierarchy. For Marman and Borins, the exhibition aims to disrupt traditional notions of reality—whether authentic or synthetic—and present dimensions that challenge the viewer’s perception. With an emphasis on engagement, the artists prompt contemplation around visual language, mass media, consumerism, and the ways in which images circulate in the information age.

This exhibition will be on view through December 5th, 2026.

Featuring work by Dread Scott, the exhibition “Project a Black Planet: The Art and Culture of Panafrica” opens on Thursday, June 11th, at the Barbican Centre in London, UK. Over 300 objects and artworks, spanning the 1920s to the present, are on view, including Scott’s passport from his project at the 60th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia, the “All African People’s Consulate.” Open from April to September 2024, Scott’s Consulate was a conceptual performance project and a functioning Consulate for an imaginary Panafrican, Afrofuturist union of countries.

The term Pan-Africanism refers to a broad spectrum of political and philosophical movements advocating anti-colonial resistance and transnational solidarity amongst peoples of African descent. While it has long been recognized as a galvanizing force in 20th-century global history,  “Project a Black Planet” is the first major exhibition to consider both its influence on visual art and culture, and the critical role of artists in shaping Pan-African visions.

This weekend, Tim Youd will start a new “100 Novels Project” performance at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, “Connecticut Retyped.”

Beginning on the opening day of The Aldrich Decennial: “I am what is around me,” The Aldrich will also present a new work that is part of Youd’s long-running project.

At The Aldrich, Youd will enact a live, durational retyping of American author Richard Yates’s 1961 debut novel “Revolutionary Road” on the same model typewriter that Yates used, during the author’s centenary year. Presented alongside The Aldrich Decennial: “I am what is around me,” a new recurring ten-year series spotlighting Connecticut-based artists on view June 7, 2026 to January 10, 2027, Youd’s project draws on the state’s rich literary history and Yates’s own ties to Connecticut, where the novel’s suburban setting was famously cast.

Roving the Museum’s campus, Youd will work daily in public view from June 7 through 21, 2026, inviting visitors to interact with him while he is on-site. The project will culminate with a framed diptych, a relic of the process and event, presented during The Aldrich Decennial.

Visitors are invited to see the performance for free on days he is working in the Sculpture Garden or elsewhere on the Museum’s grounds, or with Museum admission when Youd is inside the Museum’s galleries.

Artwork spotlight: Julian V.L. Gaines’s “JET BLACK.20 (Versatile Teen-ager)” (2026).

Brenda Faye Dennis was a junior at Berkeley High School in 1958 when she appeared on the cover of “Jet Magazine” as its “Beauty of the Week.” An accomplished dancer with full scholarships in ballet and modern dance, she was also a self-described fashion designer, model, and musician. “Jet” called her a “versatile teen-ager”—a title she wore with confidence.

When asked how she planned to balance her artistic pursuits, career ambitions, and hopes for marriage, Brenda had a simple answer: “I’ll just work extra hard.”

More than sixty-five years later, Brenda’s story lives on in “JET BLACK.20 (Versatile Teen-ager)” by Julian V.L. Gaines. Since 2023, Gaines has transformed covers from “Jet” into large-scale oil paintings, examining representations of Black identity in American media while reclaiming these images as records of self-definition and cultural memory.

See Brenda—and more works from the “JET BLACK” series—in “Fly in the Sugar Bowl” at Cristin Tierney Gallery, through Saturday, June 20th.
