Met Expert Talks—Material Symbolism

Celebrate summer by visiting the HRM after hours from 5–7pm to experience current exhibitions and enjoy the outdoor courtyard with games for all ages. At 6pm, enjoy Moonbase: The Next Step, a show exploring the efforts to establish a permanent, scientific outpost on the Moon, followed by a live tour of that evening’s sky.

IM/MATERIAL is Trudy Benson’s third solo exhibition with Miles McEnery Gallery, where she creates vibrant kaleidoscopic abstractions. Her paintings exist somewhere between the digital and analog realm of abstraction, utilizing a process that gestures toward the discrete layers that compose digital art.

Timed to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 'Plus Ultra' brings together a new body of paintings and a new animation exploring the imagery, spectacle, and collective experience of sports. Brian Alfred centers the show on sports imagery as a mode to explore its interpersonal, aesthetic, and emotional role inherent to competition and fandom.
