As we slough off the year 2016, all that remains is hope for the new year ahead. Luckily for art lovers, there are myriad art events to look forward to in the coming months, from new museums opening around the world, to blockbuster solo exhibitions at major museums, to must-see biennials. Here are 17 of them to mark on your calendar.

Biennials To Visit in 2017

Desert X

Coachella Valley, California

25 February – 30 April, 2017

The spectacular desert landscape of California, with its Joshua Trees, miraculous vistas, ancient geologies, and improbably lush resort communities, has long been a refuge for artists, misfits, Hollywood elites, and hipsters. The inaugural Desert X biennial, curated by Neville Wakefield, “takes the landscape itself as its exhibition space,” with site-specific projects by international artists.

Whitney Biennial

New York

17 March – 11 June, 2017

The 2017 Whitney Biennial, co-curated by Christopher Y. Lew and Mia Locks, will be the first to take place in the Whitney’s new downtown building. The Biennial, as it purports to take the pulse of the American contemporary art scene, from emerging artists to established, is a must-see—if only to be able to weigh in on discussions about how it succeeds or fails.

documenta 14

Athens / Kassel

8 April – 16 July, 2017 / 10 June – 17 September, 2017

documenta 14, led this year by Artistic Director Adam Szymczyk, has already been underway in the form of research, public programs, publications, and film programs. Tackling big questions about capitalism, globalism, and the schism between the North and the South, documenta 14 will, for the first time, take place not only in Kassel, Germany, but establishes a second site in Athens.

57th Venice Biennale

Venice

13 May – 26 November, 2017

Founded in 1895, the Venice Biennale is one of the longest running international expositions of contemporary art, providing a view of the current state of the arts around the world. Though only a fraction of the national pavilions have been announced yet, we are already looking forward to Anne Imhof representing Germany, Tehching Hsieh for Taiwan, Egill Saebjörnsson in the Icelandic pavilion, and Mark Bradford with the U.S. pavilion.

Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA

Los Angeles

15 September, 2017 – 31 January, 2018

As sprawling and ambitious as the city that hosts it, Pacific Standard Time in Los Angeles, organized by the Getty, connects myriad art venues throughout the vast Southern California urban region under a common theme. Following on the enormous success of the first edition in 2011-12, Pacific Standard Time returns, this time with a focus on the connections between Los Angeles and Latin America.

Hugo Boss Prize: Anicka Yi at the Guggenheim

New York

Opens spring 2017

Anicka Yi’s work challenges the primacy of permanence and vision in art. Her sculptures and installations explore all the senses, most notably, smell, utilizing such materials as bacterial growths, foodstuffs, and flowers. Her Hugo Boss Prize exhibition at the Guggenheim will no doubt be a fantastic olfactory experience.

David Hockney at Tate Britain

London

9 February – 29 May, 2017

The most comprehensive survey to date of British painter David Hockney—from his early, dreamy depictions of Los Angeles swimming pools to his recent, beyond-vibrant Yorkshire landscapes—comes to the Tate Britain this year, and travels on to the Pompidou and the Met.

Merce Cunningham and company performing TV Rerun at Westbeth, January 1975.

Merce Cunningham: Common Time at Walker Art Center and MCA Chicago

Minneapolis / Chicago

8 February – 28 May, 2017 / 11 February – 30 April, 2017

This joint survey mounted by the Walker and the MCA Chicago examines the impact and influence of the multidisciplinary work of dancer, choreographer, and artist Merce Cunningham. The survey will showcase Cunningham’s many collaborations with artists such as Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Stan VanDerBeek, Ernesto Neto, Rei Kawakubo, and Andy Warhol, as well as his most lasting collaboration, with his partner John Cage.

Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Washington, DC

23 February – 14 May, 2017

Sure to be the most Instagrammed exhibition of the year, the Hirshhorn’s blockbuster exhibition of Yayoi Kusama features six of the artist’s enchanting Infinity Rooms, along with other key works. The exhibition will subsequently travel to the Seattle Art Museum, The Broad in Los Angeles, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Cleveland Museum of Art through 2018.

Kiefer Rodin at Musée Rodin

Paris

14 March – 22 October, 2017

The year 2017 marks the centenary of the death of Auguste Rodin, and one of the most captivating of the exhibitions and events celebrating the life of the famed sculptor takes place at the Musée Rodin, through the eyes of another artist, offering a refreshing look at both artists’ work. In Kiefer Rodin, artist Anselm Kiefer will install a series of vitrines while altering the museum’s displays with offcuts, plasters, and debris from Rodin’s sculptures. The exhibition travels to Philadelphia’s Barnes Foundation in the fall.

Simon Denny.

Simon Denny at OCAT Shenzhen

Shenzhen

18 March – 15 June, 2017

As an artist whose work has examined issues of geopolitical power, surveillance systems, data and information technologies, it will be interesting to see what New Zealand artist Simon Denny’s work will look like in the context of an exhibition in mainland China.

Mikala Dwyer at Art Gallery of New South Wales

Sydney

26 August, 2017 – 4 February, 2018

Australian artist Mikala Dwyer’s sculptures take on an unusually anthropomorphic bent, without succumbing to figuration. Grouped in circles, gatherings, and suspended arrangements, the objects appear to be engaged in rituals of their own devising. This major exhibition in her hometown of Sydney will feature a new suspended sculpture and “an experimental creative lab.”

New Museums Opening in 2017

Miami

Miami Art Week will kick off this year with an exciting new museum building in the Design District—the ICA Miami’s new permanent home.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada, formerly known as the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA), will inaugurate its new home in the historic Tower Automotive Building in Toronto’s Lower Junction this fall. David Liss, Curator Advisor of the museum, has called the industrial heritage building “a dream space to showcase contemporary art.”

Louvre Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi

Opening in late 2017

It has been a long and arduous road for the Louvre Abu Dhabi project. The controversial museum had been initially scheduled to open in 2012, but has experienced setbacks, labor disputes, and international protests. While no date has been set for its 2017 opening, we look forward to experiencing the incredible, light-filled, and challenging-to-build (to say the least) Jean Nouvel-designed dome at some point soon, maybe even this year.
