This fall, artists invite us to consider the fragility of systems—ecological, emotional, and historical. From Brussels to Beirut, and across Los Angeles, Paris, and New York, these fall art exhibitions reveal how materials, memories, and human connections continue to shape the art of our time. As the season unfolds, anticipation builds for Art Basel Paris 2025 (October 24–26), returning to the renovated Grand Palais and deepening the dialogue between France’s avant-garde legacy and the global art scene.
Alfredo Jaar | La Fin du Monde
La Patinoire Royale Bach (Brussels)
Through December 23, 2025
Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar transforms the gallery’s grand nave into a space for reflection on extractive industries and ecological responsibility. La Fin du Monde focuses on the world’s most valuable minerals—cobalt, lithium, platinum, and others—framing them as symbols of both technological progress and planetary peril. Jaar’s architectural precision and moral clarity merge to question what humanity owes to the Earth.

Artbug Gallery (Los Angeles)
Through October 30, 2025
For his Los Angeles debut, Sedgwick Guth revisits Pennsylvania Dutch folk traditions through a contemporary queer lens. His embroidered paintings, rich with color and symbolism, reimagine spiritual and familial narratives within a modern landscape of technology and self-discovery. Each work suggests a personal mythology—part nostalgia, part renewal.
