SPOLIA - OLIVE DIAMOND

@ANAT EBGI TRIBECA 27 JUN - 8 AUG, 2025 Anat Ebgi is pleased to announce Spolia, an exhibition of new ceramics and paintings by Olive Diamond. This is Diamond’s first solo exhibition in New York and second with the gallery. In architecture and art history, ‘spolia’ refers to the reuse of building or decorative elements from older structures in new constructions. For Diamond, the term suggests a conceptual and formal layering of memory, history, and ruin. Her paintings and ceramics draw from folklore, family history and classical painting, reassembling these references into scenes that teeter between personal and theatrical. The works conjure a world on the edge of disappearance, where past forms and figures inhabit a time-warped spectacle.

RUBIN MUSEUM TIBETAN BUDDHIST SHRINE ROOM

@BROOKLYN MUSEUM OF ART 11 JUN, 2025 - 20 APR, 2030 A lamplit sanctuary amid the bustle of Brooklyn—and a refuge in uncertain times—the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room is a place to learn, reflect, and seek inspiration. The installation presents more than 100 artworks and ritual objects as they would be displayed in an elaborate household shrine, where devotees make offerings, pray, and meditate. Scroll paintings (thangkas), sculptures, furniture, and musical instruments dating from the 12th to 21st century are carefully arranged according to Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Chanted prayers by monks and nuns reflect the ritual practices and remind visitors that Buddhist rituals engage all the senses.
