It's truly a winter wonderland. Ongoing; powdermountain.com IN THE SANDBOX WITH DELCY MORELOS , CDMX The smell of dirt engulfed you when you entered Delcy Morelos's rapturous exhibition at Dia Art Foundation in New York—a show that turned packed soil into something spiritual, physical, and alive. For her upcoming presentation, "Delcy Morelos: El espacio vientre," at the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) in Mexico City, the Colombian artist once again turns to the earth as both subject and material. Drawing on Indigenous cosmologies and ritual practices, Morelos transforms architecture into a breathing organism—one that envelops visitors in a charged atmosphere of scent, texture, and reverence for the ground beneath us. Through June 28, 2026; muac.unam.mx HOMETOWN HERO RETURNS IN CLAY, MIAMI Born in Miami in the 1990s, the Bay Area–based artist Woody De Othello is celebrated for transforming everyday objects into tender, breathing surrogates of the self. His first major institutional exhibition at PAMM, "Woody De Othello: coming forth by day," therefore feels like a fitting homecoming for an artist whose sensitivity to the spirit of materials was recognized early on by gallerist and resident bellwether Nina Johnson. De Othello's ceramic forms resonate on many frequencies at once; they nod to Miami's tactile, improvisational spirit, where art often begins not in theory but in touch: clay, pigment, texture, and light. His work feels right at home in a place that prizes process as much as polish, and where the handmade still carries the charge of invention. Through June 28, 2026; pamm.org THE SCHOOL OF ROCK, LOS ANGELES The most anticipated show in Los Angeles this year—besides the Hammer's 2025 biennial— "MONUMENTS" has been a long time coming. Co-organized by MOCA and The Brick, the exhibition gathers toppled Confederate statues and contemporary artworks into a single, combustible conversation about power, history, and who gets remembered. Organized with the wisdom of many voices including leading artist Kara Walker, the show is as much about what comes down as what endures. Through May 3, 2026; moca.org THE OCEAN IN THE MOUNTAINS , DENVER Roni Horn's polished glass sculptures, seen in "Roni Horn: Water, Water on the Wall, You're the Fairest of Them All" (at MCA Denver), sit inside MCA Denver like oversized hard candies or tiny ice-skating rinks—gleaming planes that catch the city's alpine light. Their surfaces shift with every passing cloud or visitor, turning perception into performance. Known for her lifelong dialogue with place, weather, and identity, Horn transforms minimal forms into emotional landscapes. In Denver, for her first show exclusively devoted to water, the New York–born artist's luminous volumes take on the geological proportions they were always meant to. Through February 15, 2026; mcadenver.org JACQUELINE HUMPHRIES HITS THE SLOPES , ASPEN Jacqueline Humphries has long pushed painting to keep pace with the screen, translating code, emoji, and glare into abstraction that hums with feedback. Her first major institutional outing in years lands, fittingly, in Aspen—a place where tech goes to unplug, though the current is never really allowed to cut out entirely. In a town defined by both retreat and relentlessness, Humphries' considered paintings flicker between canvas and screen, rest and recursion, mirror and glitch. December 12, 2025 through April 5, 2026; aspenartmuseum.org An installation view of Roni Horn's "Water, Water on the Wall, You're the Fairest of Them All"; Stan Douglas's, Birth of a Nation (still), 2025, at "MONUMENTS"; Woody De Othello's Wake Up, 2025; Nancy Holt's installation at Powder Mountain BALHAR B O U RSH O P S .CO M
