Carnegie International Announces Artists for 2026 Iteration

Carnegie International Announces Artists for 2026 Iteration

TheCarnegie Museum of Artin Pittsburgh has named the sixty-one artists and collectives slated to participate in the Fifty-NinthCarnegie International, to take place May 2, 2026–January 3, 2027. Titled “If the word we,” this edition of the quadrennial event is the largest to date and will appear at the Carnegie as well as various institutions across the city including the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, the Kamin Science Center, the Mattress Factory, and the Thelma Lovette YMCA. The show’s curators—Ryan Inouye, Danielle A. Jackson, and Liz Park—noted in a statement that they had sought out artists whose “works actively configure social life and collective experience that are deeply felt and spatially expansive.”

The event will heavily feature new commissions. Among these will be an immersive animation by Torkwase Dyson, which will debut in the Kamin Science Center’s planetarium, and a collaborative installation by Arturo Kameya and Claudia Martínez Garay that will be presented at the Mattress Factory, which is co-commissioning the work. Georges Adéagbo, Dineo Seshee Bopape, and Turner Prize winner Jasleen Kaur are also among those contributing new commissions.

“This International emerged through sustained relationships rather than a single curatorial framework,” said the curators. “Projects developed through extended exchanges with artists, writers, and collaborators—often over several years—allow works to evolve in response to specific sites, contexts, and forms of knowledge. This process shaped an exhibition attentive to how ideas move across places, disciplines, and histories as they take form in the present.”
