Artist Talk

Join ArtTable at The Museum at FIT for an exhibition tour Art X Fashion.

"This exhibition will garner strong opinions and spark lively dialogue, but whether you decide that fashion is art or not, fashion's strong and mutual relationship with fine art is undeniable." - Elizabeth Way, MFIT Curator of Costume and Accessories

Her video Green Pink Caviar was on view at The Museum of Modern Art, New York from 2010-2011.

Carol Bove will be the first museum survey and largest presentation to date of the work of American artist Carol Bove. The exhibition will trace pivotal shifts across Bove’s 25-year career, ranging from her early drawings to a new, monumental series of her scrap metal and steel tubing compositions known as “collage sculptures.” The artist will also orchestrate a series of design interventions that subtly inflect the experience of navigating Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic rotunda, reflecting her longstanding interest in the way objects and images are transformed by their surroundings.

Vibrant and playful, Maysha Mohamedi’s (b. 1980, Los Angeles) innovative practice points toward a new mode of atmospheric abstraction that registers certain conditions specific to Los Angeles—and American life as a whole—in the early twenty-first century. Reflecting her personal history and key constellations in her own cultural matrix, her palette is both purely abstract and directly connected to the patchwork of landscapes, objects, and environments that comprise her life. These range from an Ojai, California, playground the artist visited with her children to clippings from cookbooks and magazines and sea glass found on the shore. Mohamedi’s works are reflections of her own thinking, crystallized as moments of haptic communion. The artist’s academic background in neuroscience is found in the liveliness and expansiveness of her paintings. Liberated from the constraints and dictates of the three-dimensional world, her immersive works exude a sense of freedom and illimitability. For Mohamedi, the viewer is an equal creator in this shared universe of boundless possibilities.

This is a special opportunity for ArtTable members to join the museum's member only tour highlighting works by artists including Cecily Brown, Yayoi Kusama, Joanna van Son and Kennedy Yanko and more, offering insight into the voices shaping contemporary art today.

Spearheaded by Onna House founder Lisa Perry, this new experimental space will provide a platform to exclusively exhibit and celebrate women artists, while functioning as a site for communal gathering and an expansive series of events. This new location not only marks the continuation of Onna House’s specialization in works of craft, but also highlights Perry’s ongoing mission to support women’s rights in the art and design worlds.

New Humans: Memories of the Future will inaugurate the New Museum’s expanded building with an exploration of artists’ enduring preoccupation with what it means to be human in the face of sweeping technological changes. New Humans will trace a diagonal history of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries through the work of more than 150 international artists, writers, scientists, architects, and filmmakers, highlighting key moments when dramatic technological and social changes spurred new conceptions of humanity and new visions for its possible futures.

Aiza Ahmed (b. 1997, Lahore, Pakistan) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and video. Her practice engages borders, migrations, public histories, and private archives within diasporic identities originating from the Indian Subcontinent. Interweaving humor and performance, Ahmed constructs theatrical compositions drawn from archival and cultural sources that unsettle fixed ideas of nationhood, masculinity, and belonging. She is drawn to the spectrum of masculinity, those who project power and those forced to perform it.

Alyson Shotz is known for experiential, large-scale sculptures inspired by natural and scientific phenomena that subvert their physicality in order to explore the phenomenological experience of space, gravity and light. For her solo exhibition Deep Field, Shotz mounts her most ambitious exploration yet on themes that have coursed through decades of her practice, presenting new work using plated steel, glass, paper and wood.

The exhibition will transform the Museum’s third-floor gallery into a lush, overgrown terrain, where thousands of digitally rendered female nudes coalesce into forests, ruins, and flowering canopies. A multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans large-scale installation, painting, sculpture, and video, Lichtenstein’s densely layered, technicolor landscapes are erotically charged, feminist reimaginings of nature and the female form. 

Carole Feuerman (b. 1945, Hartford, Connecticut) is a pioneering figure in superrealist sculpture whose work has helped redefine contemporary figuration over the past five decades. Internationally recognized for her monumentally scaled and technically exacting depictions of the human form, Feuerman is best known for iconic works such as Innertube, The Golden Mean, and her celebrated swimmer series. Her sculptures merge extraordinary surface realism with psychological stillness and emotional resonance, transforming the body into a vehicle for themes of resilience, vulnerability, endurance, and renewal.

Baseera Khan is a New York-based visual artist interested in materials, color, and their economies. From public art installation to sculpture, painting to performance and music, Khan collages the effects of these relationships to labor and family structures, religion, and spiritual well-being. Khan has performed and exhibited at several locations in the past years, sharing this diverse practice. “Painful Arc II, Shoulder High,” a public art commission for High Line Art, NYC, was installed from 2023-24, and “New Leaf,” a permanent public art commission for Help USA, Brooklyn, NY, was installed in 2025. Khan has had several solo institutional exhibitions such as Mass Art Museum, Boston, Massachusetts (2026), the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C. (2023), Brooklyn Museum, NY (2021-22), and a solo touring exhibition at Moody Arts Center for the Arts, Rice University, Houston, TX, and Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, OH (2022-23). Khan mounted recent international solo exhibitions at Niru Ratnam Gallery, London, U.K. (2025), and 10 & Zero Uno in Venice, Italy (2024).
