Exhibition - LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art
2026-02-10 - 2026-05-14 | Queens College – Godwin-Ternbach Museum, 65-30 Kissena Blvd - 405 Klapper Hall, Flushing, NY, 11365
LEGENDS: Athleticism in Asian/American Art explores the intersection of art and sports through the work of contemporary Asian and Asian American artists. While often considered distinct fields, this exhibition highlights how sport and artistic expression serve as interconnected arenas. Featuring artists and collectives across a wide range of artistic media, LEGENDS examines how artists of Asian descent engage with the shared language of art and sport to reflect identity, nationalism, the body, and performance.
The first exhibition to specifically focus on the relationship between art and sports within contemporary Asian and Asian American art, LEGENDS will debut works by The Chinatown Basketball Club, Kaarina Chu Mackenzie, and Astria Suparak.

Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo, A Retrospective
2026-05-04 - 2026-06-12 | Mishkin Gallery at Baruch College/CUNY, 135 East 22nd Street, New York, NY, 10010
The Mishkin Gallery at Baruch College is proud to present Changing Cultures: Zhen Guo, A Retrospective, the first major New York survey of artist Zhen Guo (b. 1955, Shandong Province, China).
The works on display span nearly sixty years, from Zhen Guo’s first embroidery (Chairman Mao, 1966) to her large-scale papier-mâché and sewn fabric breast sculptures and handmade tufted tapestries of 2012-2025. The show explores an artist’s journey from China to New York; themes include an immigrant’s identity, motherhood, and the violence embedded in patriarchal cultures. Guo’s large-scale “muted landscape” paintings protest environmental injustice. The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated brochure with a new essay on Guo by curator Gail Levin.
