Chris Wolston Brings Maximum Joy to Dallas

Dallas, “Chris Wolston: Profile in Ecstasy”

Chris Wolston has no interest in making furniture that sits quietly in a room. The Brooklyn designer's tiled chandeliers, aluminum sofa and wonderfully strange wicker chairs borrow their energy from nature, the body and the pleasure of excess. His long relationship with Colombia began during a Fulbright fellowship and continues through a second studio in Medellín, where traditional craft has shaped both his materials and methods. More than 40 objects come together at Dallas Contemporary in a show that makes joyful design look like a perfectly serious pursuit. On view through February 1, 2026.

Athens, “Juergen Teller: You Are Invited”

Juergen Teller's photographs have always made room for the unguarded moment, but the newer work feels especially close to home. Marriage, fatherhood and collaborations with his wife sit beside photographs concerned with Auschwitz, politics and faith. Staged inside a renovated Athens factory, this mid-career survey moves freely among fashion, family, humor and grief. Teller's world has never been tidy, which is precisely why it feels honest. On view through December 30, 2025.

New York, “Eamon Ore-Giron: Conversations with Snakes, Birds, and Stars”

Eamon Ore-Giron translates the visual language of early Latin American civilizations into bright geometric paintings and glass mosaics. The surfaces initially appear simple, but Brazilian Neo-Concretism, Italian Futurism and ancient motifs quickly begin crossing paths. His latest works continue the cheekily named Talking Shit series, in which cultures separated by centuries are allowed to hold a lively conversation. On view at James Cohan through December 20, 2025.

New York, “Guanyu Xu: Resident Aliens”

For Resident Aliens, Guanyu Xu covers participants' homes with photographs drawn from their own albums, then photographs the newly layered rooms. Private memories become public and domestic space starts to resemble an evidence board. The resulting images consider the experience of immigrants in the United States and China, particularly the awkward distance between the complexity of a life and the blunt categories imposed by bureaucracy. On view at Yancey Richardson through December 20, 2025.

New York, “Wifredo Lam: When I Don't Sleep, I Dream”

Wifredo Lam returned to Cuba in 1942 after 18 years in Europe and soon painted The Jungle, the great canvas in which elongated masked figures merge with sugarcane and tropical fruit. European modernism was part of its language, but so were Afro-Cuban belief and the colonial history of the Caribbean. More than 80 years after MoMA acquired the work, it anchors the first major United States retrospective to follow Lam's career in full. On view through April 11, 2026.
