Daily Brief — September 29, 2026

01

The Albertina’s exhibition on Arnulf Rainer covers the Austrian artist’s overpaintings, Face Farces, crosses, and Veiled Pictures across painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and performative work. Rainer, born in Baden near Vienna in 1929 and deceased in Upper Austria in late 2025, became internationally known through his radical overpaintings of the 1950s. The exhibition also includes “Centralization,” dated 1951, and follows an artist who spent more than seven decades probing the outer limits of painting. It opens at the Albertina on November 13.

Two years after its presentation in Venice, Yuko Mohri’s exhibition will be reconstructed at the Yokohama Museum of Art from July 24 through November 23, 2026. Mohri represented Japan at the 2024 Venice Biennale with “Compose,” commissioned by the Japan Foundation and curated by Lee Suk-kyung. In Yokohama’s newly established glass-walled Gallery 9, the installation will respond to a different environment. The exhibition brings together “More More,” inspired by leaks in Tokyo’s subway system, and “Decomposition,” where decaying fruit generates irregular sounds and lights through inserted electrodes.

“Fellow Travelers: Joseph E. Yoakum & Ray Yoshida” opens at the Honolulu Museum of Art on October 2 and runs through February 7, 2027. The exhibition pairs the visionary, self-taught artist Joseph E. Yoakum (1890–1972) with Kauaʻi-born Ray Yoshida (1930–2009), bringing together fantastical works on paper and examining their shared journey, distinctive visions, and the postwar Chicago art scene. Among the identified works is Yoakum’s “Mt. Mauna Kea in Volcanoic Range in Central Hawaii County of Hawaiian Islands [sic],” a 1960s color-pencil drawing on paper.
