Beach Ruins https://www.designboom.com/events/beach-ruins/ Wed, 03 Sep 2025 02:18:17 +0000 https://www.designboom.com/?post_type=event&p=1152441 Beach Ruins by Andreas Angelidakis transforms Porto’s Palácio de Cristal gardens into playful cultural ruins.

The Galeria Municipal do Porto has inaugurated Beach Ruins, a site-specific installation by Greek artist and architect Andreas Angelidakis, in the gardens of Palácio de Cristal. Drawing on ideas of the ruin, Angelidakis stages a set of fragmented columns that appear to have traveled across Europe, coming to rest in Porto. The installation references the ‘Grand Tour’ tradition of the 17th to 19th centuries, when European elites sought out ancient sites, but here the ruins themselves become the travelers, embodying a playful inversion of history and cultural expectation.

 

By pairing stone-like columns with parasols, Angelidakis transforms markers of heritage into interactive urban furniture. The pieces function as oversized poufs that invite rest and social gathering. As the inaugural edition of the gallery’s new outdoor commission, the installation sets a precedent for works that activate Porto’s public realm through seasonal, experimental interventions.

Jean Jullien: JUJU’s Castle https://www.designboom.com/events/jean-jullien-jujus-castle/ Wed, 03 Sep 2025 02:18:15 +0000 https://www.designboom.com/?post_type=event&p=1152442 Explore JUJU’s Castle by Jean Jullien, featuring over eighty paintings, sculptures, and immersive installations.

The Nanzuka Art Institute in Shanghai presents JUJU’s Castle, the first solo exhibition in China by French artist Jean Jullien. Spread across multiple gallery spaces, the show comprises painting, sculpture, and installation into a spatial experience that unfolds like an imagined fortress. The presentation includes over eighty new paintings created during Jullien’s time in Tokyo, joined by three-dimensional works and a large-scale installation that turns the institute into a multi-room narrative environment.

 

Each room is conceived as a ‘dungeon’ within the castle, referencing the level-based structure of role-playing games. Visitors are positioned as protagonists — warrior, elf, mage, or hero — encountering fantastical creatures and settings. This transformation of the gallery into an architectural sequence gives the exhibition the pacing of an exploratory journey, moving from one immersive space to another.

Andy Goldsworthy: Fifty Years https://www.designboom.com/events/andy-goldsworthy-fifty-years/ Wed, 03 Sep 2025 02:18:12 +0000 https://www.designboom.com/?post_type=event&p=1152444 Andy Goldsworthy: Fifty Years transforms Edinburgh’s Royal Scottish Academy with five decades of immersive works.

Edinburgh’s Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) becomes a vast landscape for Andy Goldsworthy: Fifty Years, the artist’s largest indoor exhibition to date. Organized by the National Galleries of Scotland, the show spans five decades and over two hundred photographic works, transforming the historic galleries into an environment of cracked clay walls, windfallen oak branches, suspended reeds, and stones from over one hundred graveyards in Dumfriesshire.

 

The exhibition is designed as one continuous, site-specific work that responds directly to the RSA’s architecture, using its spaces, light, and materials as active elements. In doing so, it extends Goldsworthy’s long-term investigation into how people, buildings, and the land are bound together and where they are held apart.

The Seoul Museum of Art presents ‘Ernesto Neto: Ba Ka Ba, a Dance of the Eternal Polarities,’ a new site-specific installation by the Brazilian artist that transforms the Korean museum’s Seosomun Main Branch lobby into a sensory environment. Commissioned as part of the 2025 SeMA Public Space Project, the woven artwork expands Ernesto Neto‘s longstanding interest in the relationships between body, space, and collective experience.

 

The installation is composed of expansive crochet structures woven from industrial cotton fabrics in shades of brown and pink. These colors, chosen to evoke tree trunks and night alongside flowers and day, establish a dialogue between natural rhythms and architectural structure. Suspended and filled with dried guava leaves and locally sourced tea leaves, the artist‘s forms invite a multi-sensory encounter that engages smell both texture together.

Kukje Gallery will present Louise Bourgeois: Rocking to Infinity, focusing on the final two decades of the artist’s career. The exhibition gathers sculptures, drawings, and fabric suites that meditate on intimacy, memory, and time. The title, drawn from Bourgeois’s own writing, evokes the image of a mother rocking a child to sleep. This gesture of security and tenderness resonates throughout the works on view.

 

Immersive wall installations pair gouaches and watercolors that revisit themes of the self, the couple, family, and the spiral. The gallery’s center hosts major sculptures which explore emotional bonds and the passage of time. The Hanok space introduces a rarer body of drawings on coffee filters, made in 1994, where circular compositions bridge domestic material with reflections on cycles, abstraction, and organic form. All together, the works reveal Bourgeois’s late practice as both intimate and monumental.

The Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art will open Lee Bul: After 1998, a large-scale survey tracing nearly three decades of work by one of Korea’s most influential contemporary artists. Bringing together around 150 pieces, the exhibition spans performance, sculpture, installation, and drawing, examining Lee Bul’s sustained inquiry into the body’s entanglement with society, technology, and systems of power. Together, a range of works illuminate her engagement with utopian modernity’s ideals and contradictions, and the recurring human pursuit of perfection.

 

Organized in collaboration with M+ Hong Kong, the exhibition unfolds as a landscape where individual memory and historical fragments intersect with broader sociopolitical references. The show charts the evolution of Lee Bul’s practice, and highlights her role in expanding conversations around humanity’s past and imagined futures.

Gabriel Chaile’s debut New York solo exhibition, Esto es América, o qual é o limite?, presents new adobe sculptures created on site at Marianne Boesky Gallery, alongside drawings and photographs. Drawing from the artist’s ongoing exploration of what he calls the ‘genealogy of form,’ the works draw from the material and formal traditions of Indigenous communities in northeast Argentina while linking them to broader histories across the Americas. The sculptures are at once monumental and anthropomorphic. Their surfaces are covered with dense networks of line drawings, resist straightforward interpretation while holding onto layers of cultural memory.

 

The exhibition incorporates influences from Chaile’s time in Montana, where he observed a No Kings Day protest that shaped the atmosphere of the new works. Charcoal drawings on canvas echo the markings on the sculptures, while photographs from the protest offer a documentary counterpart. The title itself, half in Spanish and half in Portuguese, reflects Chaile’s negotiation between statement and question, declaration and doubt: ‘This is America’ followed by ‘What is the limit?’

Bernhard Knaus Fine Art will present Sweets and Paradise, a new exhibition of photographic works by Ralf Peters. Recognized as a leading figure in conceptual photography in Germany, Peters uses digital manipulation to reframe everyday objects, landscapes, and environments, unsettling the line between reality and construction. His practice asks viewers to reflect critically on how images shape perception.

 

The exhibition brings together two recent series. In SWEETS, natural forms such as branches and leaves are digitally enhanced against vivid backgrounds, transforming them into visual compositions that waver between authenticity and invention. PARADISE introduces AI-generated gardens and architectural visions that draw from cultural and religious ideals, evoking both the desire for harmony and the unease of a digitally engineered utopia. Shown together, the works highlight the tension between nature’s fragility and technology’s promise of perfection, positioning photography as a space where beauty, illusion, and critique converge.
