From April 19 – June 28 2025 the gallery held the long-awaited second solo presentation of work by Korean-born, New York-based artist Minjae Kim. Named for P-22, the mountain lion who famously resided in Griffith Park from 2012 until his death in 2022, the exhibition’s title made reference to the spectres of the city—to the passage of creatures, ideas, and topographies that define Los Angeles as it continues its constant shift between fantasy and reality, eternal within that splendid rift.

From April 19 – June 28 2025 the gallery had the pleasure of hosting The Great Outdoors, an exhibition of new work by Romanian-born, Paris-based artist Serban Ionescu. Presented in three sites among the gallery’s Anteroom, the complex’s landscaped courtyard, and the building’s corrugated façade, this presentation of painting and sculpture—many works a cross-pollination of the two—paid homage to the Frame (as it relates to film, painting, and myriad other mediums) and the visions and illusions that it contains, structures, and supports.

From May 07 – 11 2025 the gallery presented new and recent works from A History of Frogs, the joint studio practice of Los Angeles-based artists Antonia Pinter & Chase Biado, at NADA New York. Hosted across plinth and wall, Marta’s Project Booth (C105) exhibited a series of lighted sculptures, vessels, and wall-hanging works, all rendered in aluminum, that articulate new geometries within the duo’s universe of fictional pasts and fabricated relics, continuing their interrogation of our relationship to the concept of antiquity and the potentialities of culture. View the presentation and its works HERE.

Marta is pleased to present Marta Editions, an autonomous program that highlights the work of 6–12 artists per year in the form of limited edition prints. Available now, the inaugural Release includes five total Editions from three international artists, with works by MOS Architects (US), Rie Koizumi (JP), and Ruth van Beek (NL). Information about the process and results of bringing these prints to life can be found on each Editions page, as well as on the Marta Editions’ Instagram.

In the third installment of the gallery’s new Podcast, Motion in Field, New York-based artists Kristen Wentrcek & Andrew Zebulon reflect on Quaternion (2024), the duo’s site-responsive installation of sculptural furniture works commissioned by the Marciano Art Foundation in Los Angeles. Motion in Field, presented by Marta and writer Christopher Schreck, is the sibling to the gallery’s ongoing Mezzanine program. The interview-based Podcast is a deep-dive into the extracurricular output of contemporary artists and designers.

From February 21 – April 05 2025 the gallery had the honor of hosting Oríkì (Act III): Whispers of a Trail, the gallery’s third presentation of works by Lagos, Nigeria-based artist and designer Nifemi Marcus-Bello. The final act in the Oríkì series, following Friction Ridge and Tales by Moonlight (both 2023), the exhibition took as its focus the artist’s interest in understanding the politics of extraction, refinement, procurement, and manipulation of a single, elemental material—copper.

From February 21 – April 05 2025 the gallery hosted Embers, its third solo presentation of work by Pasadena-based master ceramicist George Sherman. Located in the gallery’s Anteroom, the exhibition extended its thematic focus from On Fire (2024), the artist’s monumental show of the previous year, engaging new palettes and forms that, as with the titular coals, maintain the energy of artistic vision and express its eternal capacity for transformation. View the exhibition and its works HERE.

Nifemi Marcus-Bello has been shortlisted for the 2025 Loewe Foundation Craft Prize for his work TM Bench w/ Bowl. Realized in tandem with artisans in Marcus-Bello’s hometown of Lagos, Nigeria, the work was part of the artist’s solo presentation Oríkì (Act II): Tales by Moonlight, presented by the gallery at Design Miami in 2023. Each of the thirty finalist’s work will be exhibited at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum in Madrid from May 30 – June 29, 2025. View the Craft Prize finalists and their work here.

On February 01 2025, Marta hosted OBJECTS for L.A., a one-day fundraiser organized by the gallery and artist Ricky Swallow to raise money for entities helping artists and communities affected by the recent L.A. wildfires. On that Saturday, the effort collectively raised $68,022 for Grief & Hope and Mutual Aid L.A. Many thanks to the immediate and extended community for making the day so joyous and hopeful beyond its success as a fundraiser; and many more thanks to the participating artists and studios whose time and generosity made the day possible.

From November 02, 2024 – January 25, 2025, the gallery had the pleasure of presenting new sculptural furniture works by Los Angeles-based artists Lindsey Muscato & Joshua Friedman. The pieces in Treehugger—with their focus on response to found forms—reveled in the virtuosity of organic growth, finding strength in both the constraints of structural preservation and the depth of material possibility inherent to the natural occurrences of Wood.

From November 02, 2024 – January 25, 2025, the gallery hosted Terra Firma, a presentation of new and continually developing functional ceramic works by Los Angeles-based artist Henry Kim. Housed in the gallery’s Anteroom and conceptualized as a space in which to escape and reflect, this immersive presentation invited viewers to turn their focus inward, encouraging, with sensorial aids, a connection to one’s internal landscape—a plane of contemplation that begets fantasy and a meditative relationship to the self.

From October 04 – November 16 2024, in partnership with Galerie Rauminhalt, Marta hosted Bernhard Hausegger’s Doppelgänger, an online exhibition of the Vienna-based artist’s works, and the inaugural entry in the gallery’s nascent Paintings & Chairs program. This selection of two- and three-dimensional works, arranged as diptychs, or doubles, as the German etymology of the show’s title implies, centralized the dual focus of Hausegger’s practice and his expressions—articulation, then deconstruction, and then reconfiguration—of form. View the exhibition and its works HERE.

From September 07 – October 12 2024, Marta hosted Objects for a Heavenly Cave, the gallery’s first guest-curated exhibition, which explored the materiality and mythos of the grotto. Inspired by a broad set of historical references, curator Krista Mileva-Frank brought together thirteen different artists and collectives including A History of Frogs, Sula Bermúdez-Silverman, Charlap Hyman & Herrero, Valentina Cameranesi Sgroi, Lily Clark, F Taylor Colantonio, Emily Endo, Ficus Interfaith, Mr. Liz Hopkins, MT Objects, James Naish, Emma Witter, and Masaomi Yasunaga.
