Exhibition Tour – ArtTable

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “A View All Their Own” with Angelica Semmelbauer

July 14 | 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm

Join ArtTable for a Curator-Led Tour of “A View All Their Own” with ArtTable Board Member Angelica Semmelbauer. Light refreshments will be provided.

A View All Their Own is a group exhibition featuring twenty contemporary women artists across generations. The exhibition explores process, materiality, and the distinct visual languages each artist develops through making.

Working across painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, installation, and mixed media, each artist approaches her practice through a singular relationship to materials, shaping, layering, eroding, assembling, or transforming them into forms that carry personal and cultural resonance.

The exhibition features works by Diana Al-Hadid, Grimanesa Amorós, Lynda Benglis, Alina Bliumis, Kate Clark, Dee Clements, Francine Fleischer, Margaret Garrett, Ana Maria Hernando, Patty Horing, Dana James, Karen Margolis, Verdiana Patacchini, Howardena Pindell, Lina Puerta, Kate Rusek, Anastasia Samoylova, Bastienne Schmidt, Rebecca Stern, and Amy Wickersham.

Angelica Semmelbauer (Instagram @angelicasem) is a New York–based art advisor specializing in emerging and mid-career contemporary artists.

Boston, MA | Curator-Led Tour of “Leilah Babirye” with Ruth Erickson

September 9 | 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm

Gather at ICA Boston for a guided tour of Leilah Babirye with Ruth Erickson, Barbara Lee Chief Curator and Director of Curatorial Affairs!

The evocative, adorned sculptures of Leilah Babirye (b. 1985 in Kampala, Uganda) feature the artist’s inventive reuse of debris with her deft carving of wood and work with ceramics. She uses the metal gears and chains of bicycles to create elaborate headdresses and jewelry, and the rubber inner tubes of bicycle tires to form long tresses that mingle with the burnt-black angles of her carved sculptures and the colorful glazes of her bulbous ceramic forms. For the ICA, Babirye premieres a new body of ceramic sculptures inspired by the idea of the queer wedding. Each sculpture adopts a role—bride, groom, ring bearer, flower girl, bridesmaid, or groomsman—in a vivid installation that is both wedding ceremony and celebration. Witnessing this central event are a number of large-scale works in charred wood, representing the aunties, uncles, and ancestors who have populated the artist’s practice from the beginning. For Babirye, who fled Uganda after being outed as gay, the exhibition continues her commitment to uplift LGBTQ identities through her singular, striking sculptural practice. The exhibition will be accompanied by the artist’s first book.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of “Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art” with Emelie Gevalt, PhD

October 9 | 11:30 am – 12:30 pm

Join ArtTable for a Curator-Led Tour of “Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art with Emelie Gevalt, PhD.

Featuring spectacular examples of needlework and other ornamental arts made by American girls in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Locating Girlhood: Place and Identity in Early American “Schoolgirl” Art sheds new light on a rich but understudied genre, offering one of the most significant presentations on the subject in recent memory. This major loan exhibition brings together approximately 100 exceptional objects from over 35 museums and private collections nationwide, uniting celebrated masterpieces with remarkable lesser-known gems rarely seen by the public.

Unlike many earlier exhibitions, Locating Girlhood explores girlhood artworks from an explicitly art historical perspective, reframing these objects through the lens of place. Though the story of landscape art in the United States has traditionally centered on male academic painters, American girls and young women were laboring over a variety of landscape scenes long before the Hudson River School. From the eighteenth century onwards, representations of landscape were a common visual thread in samplers, needlework pictures, watercolors, and other artworks commonly united under the umbrella term “schoolgirl art,” extending from country scenes and cityscapes to maps and other cartographic compositions. By considering these works as deeply resonant expressions of place, the exhibition expands the story of the American landscape and situates women at its heart.

Emelie Gevalt, PhD, is the Deborah Davenport and Stewart Stender Deputy Director & Chief Curatorial and Program Officer.

Over nearly three decades she has produced work including video, sculpture, neon, and drawings on paper and cardboard that amplify and archive the work of activists. Bowers embeds herself in allyship with front-line activists, earning trust through collaboration and long-running engagement.

New York, NY | Curator-Led Tour of the “Whitney Biennial 2026” with Marcela C. Guerrero

March 19 | 10:30 am – 12:00 pm

Gather at the Whitney Museum of American Art for a guided tour of the Whitney Biennial 2026!

The eighty-second edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States—features work of 56 artists, duos, and collectives that reflects the current moment and examines various forms of relationality, including interspecies kinships, familial relations, geopolitical entanglements, technological affinities, shared mythologies, and infrastructural supports.

Whitney Biennial 2026 offers a vivid atmospheric survey of contemporary American art shaped by a moment of profound transition. Rather than offering a definitive answer to life today, this Whitney Biennial foregrounds mood and texture, inviting visitors into environments that evoke tension, tenderness, humor, and unease. Together, the works capture the complexity of the present and propose imaginative, unruly, and unexpected forms of coexistence.

Marcela Guerrero is the DeMartini Family Curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Alongside Drew Sawyer, Guerrero is the co-curator of the eighty-second edition of the Whitney Biennial—the longest-running survey of contemporary art in the United States. At the Whitney, Guerrero also curated no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria and Martine Gutierrez: Supremacy in 2022-23, among other exhibitions. From 2014 to 2017, she was the Curatorial Fellow for Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960-1985 organized at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Prior to joining the Hammer, she worked in the Latin American and Latino art department at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Guerrero’s writing has appeared in several exhibition catalogues and in art journals. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Guerrero holds a PhD in art history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
