Between Time and Memory: 6 Intergenerational Artist Presentations at Future Fair 2026
Future Fair’s sixth edition includes a strong current of intergenerational voices working together or in dialogue with one another.

Frank Morrison and Tyreek Morrison
Presented by Alday Hunken Gallery, Atlanta, GA & Mexico City, Mexico
As father and son, their practices engage painting as a site of inheritance, memory, and reinterpretation across generations. Their practices do not imitate one another. They are in dialogue. The work asks what it means to inherit a creative impulse and then make it entirely your own.
Joan Bankemper and Sophie Bankemper Frances
Presented by Nancy Hoffman, New York, NY
Each of the Bankempers works on a specific aspect of the ceramic sculptures. Sophie creates the biomorphic forms, more interested in their shapes and character than in creating a vessel. She hand-builds the sculptural forms intuitively, providing her mother, Joan, with richly varied surfaces on which to work. Joan creates the skin, the color, the handwriting that gives each work its distinction, adorning the surface with hundreds of flowers, birds, and circles, creating a surface that teems with life.
Lauren Cline and Pat Lay
Presented by Elza Kayal Gallery, New York, NY
Together, Cline and Lay present an intergenerational dialogue between care and systems, intimacy and structure—offering a grounded reflection on how contemporary life is shaped both by the spaces we tend and the technologies we live within.
Nancy Pantirer, Francine Tint, Alison Kruvant, and Farangiz Yusupova
Presented by 81 Leonard Gallery, New York, NY

While contemporary discourse often emphasizes generational divides, this exhibition highlights the continuities and shifting perspectives across different stages of artistic careers. While New York has shaped the making and understanding of abstract art, the contributions of women to that history have often been undervalued and sidelined. This show continues and diversifies that legacy through an intergenerational dialogue between four women artists whose practices are influenced by the energy of the city.
David Najib Kasir
Presented by Artbooth, Abu Dhabi, UAE & Seoul, South Korea
At Future Fair New York, Artbooth Gallery will present a focused selection of Kasir’s works that highlight migration narratives and intergenerational memory. The booth will create an immersive visual dialogue between pattern and portraiture, inviting viewers to consider how cultural identity is carried, protected, and transformed across borders.
Marina Berio, Miné Okubo, and Asako Tabata
Presented by SEIZAN, New York, NY
For Future Fair 2026, SEIZAN Gallery proposes a group presentation featuring Marina Berio, Miné Okubo, and Asako Tabata—three women artists of Asian heritage working across different generations and cultural contexts.
