Rubell Museum

At the Rubell Museum, current exhibitions activate the museum’s repurposed warehouse campus through large-scale, immersive, and site-responsive installations that emphasize scale, light, and movement.

Thomas Houseago: First Light occupies the museum’s initial seven galleries and marks Rubell's first single-artist survey exhibition. Featuring over twenty works created across the past two decades, the exhibition spans plaster, bronze, wood, found objects, and large-scale paintings, demonstrating how sustained gallery sequences support psychological and material intensity.

The museum’s 2025 Artist-in-Residence, Joanna van Son, presents new paintings developed on site that distort the spatial qualities of the human body through layered, physical processes. A newly commissioned solo exhibition by Seung Ah Paik features large-scale paintings inspired by traditional Korean techniques, exploring the relationship between landscape and self-portraiture.

Immersive installations by Yayoi Kusama transform enclosed galleries through light and reflection, while her iconic Narcissus Garden (1966) composed of 700 stainless steel spheres extends 200 feet along the museum’s central gallery. Visitors will also encounter Collection Highlights featuring works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Yoshito Nara, and others, demonstrating how the Rubell’s architecture supports a wide range of contemporary artistic practices.
