Ilke Cop deepens her ongoing exploration of how the female body is presented and judged through art and society. She introduces sculptures to intensify the questions of embodiment and perception. Across her sculptures and paintings, the bared teeth smile or ‘the grin’ is a persistent visual. Simultaneously confrontational and unsettling.

Robert Longo, one of the Pictures Generation’s defining artists, takes over the four floors of Pace Gallery until October 25 with the exhibition ‘The Weight of Hope’. Monumental charcoal drawings transform images from today’s fleeting media storms - wars, protest, natural disasters - into something permanent and contemplative.

Sasha Gordon paints self-portraits like someone testing a mirror to see what might crack first — the glass or the person staring back. In ‘Haze’, her first solo exhibition at David Zwirner, she casts her own face and body in every role: the survivor, the aggressor, the witnesser.

Shifting Scales is more than an exhibition — it’s a moment of reclamation. It’s a call to continue the conversation — about justice, gender, and the role of art in shaping a more equitable future. The scales are beginning to shift. As artist Nina Vandeweghe put it, “Let’s eat some f*cking cake.” They did ate the cake and left no crumbs.

What happens when an artist turns curator, stepping into the shoes of a collector to interpret someone else’s vision through their own? London-based artist Ben Edmunds (UK, 1994) takes on this role for the fourth edition of ‘Private Collection Selected By’ at Tatjana Pieters Gallery.

In her most extensive exhibition to date in Brussels, internationally renowned Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere unveils ‘Khorós’ — a raw yet poetic reflection on 25 years of her sculptural evolution. De Bruyckere’s work goes into conversation with other artistic voices and historical resonances.
