Ali Banisadr: Temple of the Mind at Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York 46 Museum Shows and Biennials to See This Summer

Borrowing its title from a 19th-century painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder that features people traversing a darkened landscape, this exhibition is not your average solo show. As one might expect from a show for a contemporary artist, there will be a gallery of new works by the Iranian-born Ali Banisadr on hand—dense abstractions hinting at worlds beyond our own. But rather than siloing Banisadr’s work in one designated section of the museum, the AKG will also feature the painter’s art in its permanent collection galleries, where his latest canvases will mingle with famed works by William Blake, Hiroshige, and many more. 

June 26–November 8
