Join ArtTable for a studio visit with Aiza Ahmed!

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.

Ahmed received her MFA (Painting) from Rhode Island School of Design (2024) and BFA from Cornell University (2020). Her debut New York solo show, The Music Room, was presented at Sargent’s Daughters (2025), followed by a solo presentation, Footnotes, at the inaugural Art Basel Qatar (2026). She has exhibited internationally and her work is held in public collections including the RISD Museum and Brown University, among others. Ahmed is the recipient of the 2025 Rema Hort Mann Emerging Artist Grant, including the Peter Hort Award recognition. She has participated in residencies with William Kentridge and the Centre for the Less Good Idea, The Macedonia Institute, Chatham, NY; Silver Art Projects, New York; and the Arts Intensive Study Program at Fire Station, Doha, Qatar.

Gather at Onna House Soho for a guided tour and refreshments!

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.

The gallery, divided into several cozy rooms, has been imagined as the urban equivalent of Onna House in East Hampton. It features a central lounge area beneath a row of windows that fill the entire room with natural light, along with a tea room enclosed by shoji screens, which will anchor the main room. The tea room will also feature extensive wall space for the exhibition and display of unique works in ceramic by a rotating group of women artists. In addition to highlighting and collaborating with local, New York City-based artists, Onna House Soho will also offer artist made jewelry and standout pieces of vintage furniture and accessories from a collection that Perry has built from her years of traveling. Adjoining the main room will be an additional gallery space where visitors may stumble upon an afternoon game of mahjong. Very much the game of the moment, Perry is carrying on a tradition and love of the game from her mother.

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.

Bove’s inventive practice spans many mediums and formal approaches but is unified by an exacting play of material, scale, color, and space. She places these elements in dialogue with cultural histories and the viewer’s imagination to create the conditions for a resonant perceptual encounter—one that will function, in the words of the artist, as “a way of opening the world.”

Katherine Brinson joined the Guggenheim’s curatorial staff in 2005. She has curated and cocurated numerous exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the former Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, including Carol Bove (2026); Alex Katz: Gathering (2022–23); Etel Adnan: Light’s New Measure  (2021–22); The Hugo Boss Prize 2020: Deana Lawson, Centropy (2021); The Hugo Boss Prize 2018: Simone Leigh (2019); Danh Vo: Take My Breath Away (2018); The Hugo Boss Prize 2016: Anicka Yi, Life Is Cheap (2017); Doris Salcedo (2015); Storylines (2015); The Hugo Boss Prize 2014: Paul Chan, Nonprojections for New Lovers (2015); Christopher Wool (2013–14); The Hugo Boss Prize 2012: Danh Vo (2013); The Hugo Boss Prize 2010: Hans-Peter Feldmann (2011); The Luminous Interval: The D.
