ARTnews’s summer preview lists 46 museum exhibitions and biennials worldwide, identifying spectacle as a major seasonal theme. It highlights projects including Laure Prouvost’s show about quantum physics at Paris’s Grand Palais, Carsten Höller’s largely secretive exhibition at Beijing’s UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, and Tomás Saraceno’s monumental sculptures at Munich’s Haus der Kunst alongside a permanent land artwork in Argentina. The roundup also points to land- and history-focused shows such as Carolina Caycedo at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo and a National Gallery of Canada survey of contemporary Indigenous artists from Inuit Nunaat, Sápmi, and Denendeh, plus a major Ana Mendieta retrospective at Tate Modern. It notes that the Venice Biennale remains on view through November and that Manifesta will take place in Germany’s Ruhr region, alongside two new biennial-style events launching in the Northeastern United States.
