For her first solo show at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles-based artist (and Juxtapoz favorite and past featured artist) Zoé Blue M. transports viewers into the world of a takkyu onsen—her name for a table tennis bathhouse. The exhibition, titled Hard Boiled, highlights a style of bathhouse that fuses sport and relaxation within the Japanese tradition. Combining painting and installation, the show illustrates the intricate relationship between communal bathing and personal identity, particularly one that resonates with the complexities of contemporary femininity.

In her third solo exhibition at pt. 2 Gallery, Los Angeles-based artist Molly Bounds invites viewers into a hazy terrain of memory, evidence, and misrecognition. Transmissions unfolds like a murky investigation where personal history becomes fragmented and intuition sends mixed signals. Bounds uses the idea of receiving signals—radio frequencies, premonitions, visions, and signs—as a framework for navigating the thin line between fact and fiction, reality and projection. Is it safe to be open to “receiving”?

MARUANI MERCIER is proud to present Darkening Dusk, the inaugural solo exhibition of South African artist Kate Gottgens, at their Knokke gallery. Recognized for her haunting, dreamlike compositions, Gottgens crafts works that exist in a state of liminality—never fixed, always in flux, and at times elusive. Just as the fading light of dusk blurs the boundaries of day and night, her paintings evoke a sense of transition, where familiarity dissolves into something more fluid, open-ended, and mysterious.
