Julie Mehretu: Our Days, Like a Shadow (a non-abiding hauntology)

In 2026, New York will host a major exhibition of Julie Mehretu, an artist whose works explore the vestiges of the past and the dynamics of the contemporary world. This seventh solo exhibition by Marian Goodman Gallery will present new works, created between 2024 and 2026, exploring the concept of ‘hauntology’ – the echo of past events. The exhibition, with its opening scheduled for April 14th, will highlight paintings and collaborative ‘TRANSpaintings’ between Mehretu and Nairy Baghramian, even including a choreographed performance by John Jasperse Projects. The work is part of a complex artistic approach, blending geopolitics, history, and movement. This exhibition is a key moment for contemporary art lovers and a unique opportunity to appreciate the singular universe of Julie Mehretu.
