On View | FRESH PAINT: Raven Halfmoon
The Parrish Art Museum and The FLAG Art Foundation continue their FRESH PAINT collaboration with a work by the artist Raven Halfmoon (Caddo Nation, b. 1991). Standing over six feet tall, Sun Twins (2023) is a stoneware sculpture of two towering figures positioned side by side. The work emerges from Halfmoon’s ongoing project to create commanding depictions of Indigenous women. Built from clay, a material with deep ties to her Caddo heritage, Halfmoon’s icons stand as monuments to Indigenous feminisms, generational knowledge, and relationship to homelands.

Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk is a survey of the artist’s work ranging from 1981 to 2024, exploring his Long Island connection and how a single month spent in Montauk in the summer of 1982 with a fellowship at The Edward F. Albee Foundation became a pivotal place and moment in the artist’s career.

April 20–September 1, 2025
On View | Shirin Neshat: Born of Fire
Shirin Neshat: Born of Fire marks the artist’s first museum exhibition in the New York area in over 20 years. The show offers a non-linear survey of Neshat’s artistic development, presenting focused installations of four significant bodies of work. These range from her first major photographic works, Women of Allah (1993–7)—images inspired by women’s involvement in the Islamic Revolution and Iran-Iraq War—to The Book of Kings (2012), a portrait series that calls on the tradition of Persian epic poetry to address the Arab Spring protest movement.

On View | Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Collider
The latest installment of the Museum’s annual façade installation series features a new public artwork by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Made up of hundreds of small LED spotlights that create a calm, rippling curtain of light along the Museum’s south wall, Collider is visible from Montauk Highway and up close from the Museum’s meadow. The lights react in real time to invisible cosmic radiation from outer space.
