Marcel Duchamp, MoMA, Apr 12–Aug 22, 2026. Featuring some 300 artworks, this exhibition marks the first retrospective of the artist’s work in the United States since 1973.

April 22–25, 2026.

Oslo

Bridging the fields of documentary and experimental film and video, No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image offers an expansive, intersectional account of underappreciated encounters between feminism and the moving image. Across a polycentric, global geography, it maps how artists and filmmakers have explored the nexus of gender and power and charts sites at which feminism connects to other struggles for justice. By revisiting the period of the 1970s to 1990s, it aims both to pay homage to the important work that has come before and to respond to the urgencies of the present. Kunstnernes Hus, 13.02.26 – 03.05.26.
