Alice Maher is one of several Irish artists exhibiting at the 61st Venice Biennale. Maher appears in “In Minor Keys,” curated by the late Koyo Kouoh, alongside her collaborator Rachel Fallon. Also exhibiting as part of “In Minor Keys” is Alan Phelan, while Isabel Nolan represents Ireland in the Irish National Pavilion, curated by Georgina Jackson.

“Conspiracies,” curated by Larne Abse Gogarty (author of What We Do Is Secret: Contemporary Art and the Antinomies of Conspiracy (2023), approaches conspiracy as a recurring structure of interpretation, collaboration, and political feeling. The exhibition brings together works by Hannah Black, Caspar Heinemann, Sam Keogh, and Shenece Oretha, alongside selected panels from Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas Mnemosyne.

Tobias Pils’s ambitious exhibition “Shh” at mumok, Vienna, spans three spaces and looks back at a decade of his practice, building on his previous major institutional presentation at Secession in 2013. The show traces an evolution from abstraction to figuration, and from austere grays to a more expansive palette, though Pils himself seemingly resists treating such shifts as hierarchical or even particularly significant.
