On the heels of George Condo’s internationally acclaimed 2025 career survey at Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris a five-decade immersion described by the Financial Times as ‘accentuating not just Condo’s sustained virtuosity, but his diverse forms of expression, techniques, recurring invented characters and art historical allusions’. Hauser & Wirth has announced it will present two major exhibitions in 2027 with the renowned American artist in its Paris and Palo Alto locations. Featuring new and historical works, this pair of exhibitions will continue the gallery’s history of important solo shows with George Condo held in New York, Los Angeles and London.

The Residency at Casa Gràcia is a new program conceived to provide artists and writers the dedicated time and private space to further their practices in the historic city of Mahon in Menorca, Spain. Founded and developed by artists Rashid Johnson and Sheree Hovsepian, the program offers artists a retreat—residencies are self-directed without obligation to produce an outcome or public presentation—and encourages creative development and deep reflection, while fostering meaningful engagement with the local community on the island. Conceived as an incubator for ideas and cross-disciplinary dialogue, the Residency at Casa Gràcia seeks to foster an environment for creative exchange. Artists and writers from the Balearic Islands, mainland Spain, and around the world are encouraged to apply.

Responding to the themes of the group exhibition ‘Directionless,’ the Education Lab echoes the very concept set by Rashid Johnson, to find new creative pathways and orientations through artistic practice.
