Jeffrey Gibson. This is dedicated to the one I love
Hauser & Wirth Paris 20 October – 20 December 2025 Jeffrey Gibson’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and in France will take place at Hauser & Wirth’s Parisian outpost this Autumn. Celebrating the breadth of Gibson’s output, the exhibition features three new groups of paintings, ranging from large to intimate in scale, alongside new works from Gibson’s series of celebrated punching bags, hanging cloaks, paintings on paper, canvas and beaded panel, as well as a new body of free-standing ceramic head sculptures. The title of the show, ‘This is dedicated to the one I love,’ is a pause for empathy and a meditation on how we act and make in times of crisis. Over the past three decades, Gibson has developed a rich interdisciplinary practice that draws from American, Indigenous and queer histories as well as references to popular music, literature and art historical narratives. The artist’s distinctive visual language embraces a broad spectrum of cultural expressions and collaged identities in a way that is simultaneously intimate and radically expansive. The works on show are characterized by Gibson’s bold chromatic sensibility and emphasis on pattern and abstraction, whilst also drawing on histories of color studies and the concept of the psycho-prismatic, how color, light and prisms allow us to see multiple things at once. Gibson is the sixth artist selected for the 2025 Genesis Facade Commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York NY, creating four works for the museum’s historic exterior on display from 12 September 2025 – May 2026. Other current and forthcoming solo projects include an immersive installation at MASS MoCA in North Adams MA until November 2026 and an exhibition at Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland, from 13 June – December 2025, Gibson’s first presentation in a European museum following his solo exhibition for the US Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale in Italy. When the city on the Limmat transforms into a hub of international cinema each autumn, world-class filmmaking meets an equally impressive setting. The Zurich Film Festival is one of Switzerland’s most important cultural events, attracting acclaimed filmmakers, international stars and film lovers from across the globe – perhaps including you.
Look forward to eleven days filled with cinematic highlights: from artistically ambitious arthouse productions to major Oscar contenders. More than 160 films from around the world celebrate their premiere here. LOCATIONSThe beating heart of the festival is Zurich’s Sechseläutenplatz – right in the city centre and directly on the shores of Lake Zurich. This is where you’ll find the Festival Centre and the core cinemas: Corso, Le Paris and Arthouse Piccadilly. All other venues – Kino Frame, Arena Cinemas Sihlcity and the Kongresshaus Zürich – are just a few minutes away. THE DOLDER GRANDThe Dolder Grand was used as a prominent setting for a Hollywood film, namely David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”. What better location in Zurich for the Zurich Film Festival after-parties, than the Canvas Bar & Lounge at the Dolder Grand? Anish Kapoor protest art at Shell’s North Sea platform: what you need to know Greenpeace activists installed a haunting new artwork created by legendary artist, Anish Kapoor onto an active Shell platform in the remote North Sea.
The artwork, called BUTCHERED, shows 1,000 litres of blood-red liquid gushing onto a 12m x 8m canvas fastened to the gas platform, creating a vast crimson stain. BUTCHERED symbolises the deep wounds the fossil fuel industry has left on our planet – and the harm it continues to cause people, in its relentless pursuit of profit. Deadly heatwaves, drought and wildfires are hitting people around the world. BUTCHERED brings the destruction right back to where it starts. It’s time for governments to step in, hold fossil fuel giants to account and make them pay for the enormous damage they’re causing. This is the first time that a fine art piece has been installed on an active fossil fuel platform anywhere in the world. “I wanted to make something visual, physical, visceral to reflect the butchery they are inflicting on our planet: a visual scream that gives voice to the calamitous cost of the climate crisis, often on the most marginalised communities across the globe. BUTCHERED is also a tribute to the heroic work done in opposition to this destruction, and to the tireless activists who choose to disrupt, disagree and disobey.” Anish Kapoor www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/anish-kapoor-shell-north-sea
© Andrew McConnell / Greenpeace, BUTCHERED is an original Anish Kapoor artwork created in response to a Greenpeace campaign and installed by Greenpeace activists, and we have collaborated every step of the way on production and delivery.
Fossil fuel companies like Shell should be made to pay for the damage they have knowingly caused. They won’t do this on their own – it’s time for governments to step in and hold them to account. Governments must introduce new taxes and fines on big polluters to help communities at home and around the world rebuild from climate disasters and invest in climate solutions. Over 240,000 people have already signed the Polluters Pay Pact calling on the government to make oil, coal and gas corporations pay their fair share for the damages they cause. Will you join them? Greenpeace’s approach to protest For Greenpeace, actions like this are a last resort, and the decision to stage a protest is never taken lightly. When you see a government or company being targeted by our activists, it’s a sure sign that they’re refusing to stop harming people and nature, despite coming under huge pressure to do so. As with all protests, this one was carefully planned by highly trained staff and activists, with the highest regard for the safety of everyone involved.
This September, the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) invites you to see yachting through a different lens—guided by the poetic eye of maritime photographer Guillaume Plisson.
Celebrated for his ability to capture what often goes unnoticed—the tension in a gesture, the elegance of a curve, the stillness before departure—Plisson presents an exclusive exhibition, A tribute to yachting, displayed throughout the 2025 MYS. From 24 to 27 September, nearly 100 large-format photographs will punctuate your visit, subtly integrated into the Show's landscape. The images are invitations to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the emotion that lies beneath the surface of yachting. A preview of the exhibition will be unveiled during the MYS Grand Opening Night on September 23, 2025, offering invited guests an early glimpse into this visual and emotional journey. Tribute to Yachting Photographic exhibition by Guillaume Plisson Monaco Yacht Show, 24 - 27 September 2025 www.monacoyachtshow.com The Monaco Yacht Show is an annual international exhibition dedicated to the world of luxury yachting. Created in 1991, it takes place at the end of September in the Port Hercule of Monaco. The MYS is divided into two main exhibition areas: afloat and on the quayside.

Nearly 560 handpicked companies present their products and services in the yachting industry, including designers, naval architects, equipment suppliers, yacht service providers, and tender manufacturers. The Monaco Yacht Show is renowned for the exceptional quality and impressive size of its superyachts. The event attracts private visitors interested in purchasing or chartering superyachts, as well as market experts. The show is also committed to promoting innovative and sustainable solutions for yachting. The MYS is organised under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco. Mary Heilmann. Works on Paper
Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Limmatstrasse 26 September – 19 December 2025 Opening this September, Mary Heilmann returns to Hauser & Wirth Zurich, Limmatstrasse, with an exhibition of the artist’s drawings from 1975-2005. Bringing together works on paper ranging from watercolor studies for larger paintings to works that function as paintings on paper in their own right, this presentation of rarely and never before seen works celebrates Heilmann’s talent for distilling complex images and ideas into deceptively simple geometric forms and abstract gestural marks. Expanding upon the artist’s exhibition of works on paper ‘Daydream Nation’ at Hauser & Wirth New York last year, the presentation in Zurich muses on how drawing functions as a form of daydreaming—of conjuring the sights, sounds and events of her past travels or her imagined future—in Heilmann’s creative process. The exhibition in Zurich opens in conjunction with a new publication from Hauser & Wirth Publishers, ‘Mary Heilmann. Works on Paper: 1973–2019’, featuring an introduction from Alexis Lowry, an essay from art historian Jo Applin and a personal reflection by painter Ilana Savdie. Heilmann is the subject of two major institutional exhibitions, which also include works featured in the new publication. ‘Mary Heilmann. Starry Night’ at Dia Beacon in Beacon, NY and ‘Mary Heilmann. Water Way’ at Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY both close in October 2025. On view at the Whitney Museum of American Art until January 2026 is 'Mary Heilmann: Long Line', a site-specific installationthat celebrates the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Whitney Museum’s downtown building.
