Listen you guys, I just got back from a… let’s say memorable week covering the Venice Biennale—and I am so jet-lagged, and Air France misplaced my bag, and I feel a little seasick now that I’m back on solid ground. So with love, you might not see a lot of me out there this week—but don’t let that stop you from enjoying perception-warping, world-building, time-traveling art adventures at Gagosian, Sprüth Magers, Beverly Hills Art Show, Make Room, Parrasch Heijnen, David Kordansky, Track 16, Angels Gate Cultural Center, Skirball Cultural Center, albertz benda, Tyler Park Presents, Anat Ebgi, and The Grand Annex Music Hall (via Vegas, baby).

Devon DeJardin, Where Roots Hold Light, 2026. Oil on canvas, 72 x 60 in (Courtesy of the artist and albertz benda)

Devon DeJardin: To the Garden We Return, Wednesday, May 20 at albertz benda. To quote the great Joni Mitchell, “We are stardust. We are golden. And we’ve got to get ourselves back to the garden.” Painter Devon DeJardin takes this imperative to heart in a moody new collection of large-scale botanical compositions with an eerie, lush, atmospheric, and nearly extraterrestrial surrealism that exists beyond mere past and future timelines. One night only, 7pm in WeHo, rideshare encouraged; albertzbenda.com. —SND
