Upcoming Exhibitions

Harbingers is an immersive installation of tattered fiber columns pierced by flame, suggesting a ghost forest in the aftermath of wildfire. Dozens of these forms are suspended from the ceiling with paths through the installation inviting viewers to contemplate the impact of extreme weather patterns amplified by the climate crisis. Drought and the fires that follow impact not only forests, but human survival. The tree- like cylinders are made from stark white linen gauze, painted with India ink, and burned and charred with a candle. Working with flame was an intense observation of the impact of oxygen, fuel, and wind gusts; and at the same time, a meditation on wildfire and the carbon released by these fires. On days when red flag warnings for extreme drought and wind were issued in Madison, Wisconsin, where she lives, she paused the burning.

IA&A at Hillyer presents La Casa en la Montaña, an exhibition by Diana Mercado bringing together works from her two London exhibitions, Memories of the Andes (2023) and A Tale of the Andes (2025), within a new curatorial framework. The exhibition features 16 paintings, including a work that, together with a poem written for the exhibition, forms the conceptual and emotional bridge between the two original exhibitions.
