Paul Wesenberg will present ‘Book of poems’ at SLAG&RX New York, with an opening scheduled for Thursday, September 10, 2026, from 6 to 8 p.m. The announcement places the event in New York and identifies it as part of the RX&SLAG programme for the 2026 season.
The exhibition is included in a rentrée announcement issued by the RX&SLAG team, which outlines upcoming activity connected to its Paris and New York operations. RX&SLAG runs spaces in Paris and New York, and the newsletter identifies the New York space as SLAG&RX New York. The gallery gives that address as 522 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011, with opening hours Tuesday to Friday and Saturday.
The announcement gives limited information about the exhibition’s scope or curatorial framework. It does not include a curatorial statement, biography of Wesenberg, or a description of the relationship between the works and the title ‘Book of poems’. Accordingly, the available material does not support further claims about the artist’s practice, themes or methods.
Two works are identified in the listing. ‘Sans titre’, dated 2026, is a gouache on paper measuring 21 by 15 centimetres, or 8 by 6 inches. ‘Phoenix Waters’, also dated 2026, is described as oil and oilskins on linen and measures 200 by 150 centimetres, or 79 by 59 inches.
The contrast in scale and materials is the clearest information supplied about the presentation: the announcement pairs a small gouache on paper with a much larger work incorporating oilskins on linen. It does not state whether these are representative works, whether additional pieces will be shown, or whether the exhibition includes sculpture, installation or other media.
‘Book of poems’ is listed among RX&SLAG’s September 2026 programming, alongside a separate presentation by Joanne Boyer at RX&SLAG Paris. The same newsletter also advertises art-fair appearances in Lyon, Paris and New York, but those activities are separate from Wesenberg’s exhibition. No closing date for ‘Book of poems’ has been published: the newsletter gives only the September 10 opening reception, from 6 to 8 p.m., and the gallery’s own exhibitions listing did not yet carry the show at the time of writing.
