Dada Khanyisa: this is for you
In their first exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, Radio Juxtapoz and featured artist alum Dada Khanyisa presents a group of ‘sculptural paintings’ that look to their immediate community in Cape Town, popular culture, and Khanyisa’s extensive research into the social and political histories of South Africa, producing lively figurative assemblages that convey the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary life. Throughout their labour-intensive practice – incorporating hand carved wood, meticulously compiled sculptural elements and found objects, and painted backdrops borrowed from candid or historic photographic sources – Khanyisa expresses interpersonal dynamics through the lens of their social observations and lived experience.
Many Rooms with “No Room for Emptiness” for Diane Dal-Pra in Milan
MASSIMODECARLO is delighted to present No Room for Emptiness, the first Italian solo exhibition by French artist Diane Dal-Pra. A title like this might hint at an overwhelming fullness, an attempt to keep emptiness at bay – but Dal-Pra subverts this expectation entirely. She courts emptiness, plays with it, stretches it until it becomes tangible. Her paintings exist in a state of beautiful instability: bodies flicker in and out of form, textiles morph into landscapes, and spaces fold in on themselves like fabric.
Mickalene Thomas Creates Design for DART Car's Custom McLaren Racecar
We love a good custom car design here at Juxtapoz, and this one caught our eye this past week.

DART Car’s first race of the 2024 season is the SRO GT4 America at Sonoma Raceway from March 28-30, 2025.
Woody De Othello: Tuning the Dial @ Karma, Los Angeles
In Spring 2022, when we last sat down with Woody De Othello, he told us, “I feel like I’m a California kid at heart. I know I’m not leaving the state. I’m here for life.” And it feels quite on point, on brand, that California’s De Othello would kick off Karma’s Frieze week in Los Angeles with Tuning the Dial, his first ever solo show in LA.
The “Bronx Figures”: John Ahearn and Rigoberto Torres @ James Fuentes, NYC
James Fuentes is honored to present Bronx Figures, an exhibition surveying the iconic freestanding works of long-term collaborators John Ahearn and Rigoberto Torres. These affectionate portrayals of the city’s ordinary people began on the sidewalk when, in 1979, Ahearn set up shop to life-cast passersby at the storefront of Fashion Moda, the storied South Bronx art gallery run by Stefan Eins, Joe Lewis, and William Scott. It was there that Ahearn would also meet Rigoberto Torres, a Puerto-Rican born, Bronx raised artist whose experience in casting began in his uncle’s botanica statuette factory. Bronx Figures brings together a group of ambitious, in-the-round works spanning the 1980s to today, which have…

En Iwamura Takes Off the “Mask”
Back in 2021 when we last spoke with Japanese ceramic and sculpture artist, En Iwamura, he told us, “I’m still exploring different materials. To be honest, all the colors are decided at the time of spraying—but this often happens by chance. I don’t know which object will have which color, because, for me, I mix the clay with the glazes in different proportions for each figure, and then I spray it. Then, when I open the kiln, I am surprised every time at the colors that emerge.” And now 4 years later, and looking at his new solo show Mask at Ross + Kramer Gallery, and spanning across 20 ceramic sculptures,…
