Isabel Nolan’s Dreamshook, representing Ireland in this year’s Venice Biennale, includes fourteen sculptures, drawings, and tufted tapestries, all of which poetically explore the life and work of the Venetian printer and publisher Aldo Manuzio (ca. 1450–1515) in a distillation of how knowledge is a process of shared experience when an individual’s dream becomes a communal reality.

Resonance—a full, reverberating, and soulful sound quality—is the title of the sprawling installation anchoring Kader Attia’s Shattering and Gathering our Traces, his first New York show in over five years.

At Van Doren Waxter, Rosemarie Beck: Earthly Paradise is a kaleidoscopic glimpse at the subjects, themes, and formal concerns that Beck (1923–2003) examined over her prolific, iconoclastic career.

Born in 1979, Park is of the generation of South Koreans who came of age amidst the country’s metamorphosis from an insular, agrarian society to an industrial powerhouse. Korean artists from this generation increasingly star in the global art world as international audiences seek to understand the past, present, and future of the divided peninsula. There are references to Korean culture in Park’s Roots and Wings, now on view at Carvalho Park, but more than a homogenization, it mediates heritage through a self-portrait drawn through aspirational dreams and the devotion of parents.

Lyle Ashton Harris: Our first and last love presents thirty-five years of the artist’s work, which often veers into collage, installation, and performance in an exhibition that is as much a cumulative self-portrait as it is something of a mid-career retrospective.
