    Famed celebrity photographer David LaChapelle is getting the retrospective treatment in the City Beautiful next year, courtesy of the Orlando Museum of Art.

    David LaChapelle: As the World Turns — opening Jan. 31, 2026 — will reportedly be the largest U.S. museum retrospective of the photographer’s works to date, presenting more than 100 of his photographs.

    The works featured will include well-known works and fantastical portraits of the likes of Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Madonna, Muhammed Ali, Charli XCX, TuPac Shakur and Doja Cat, as well as a number of previously unseen shots.

    The exhibition covers his full four-decade career arc, with editorial photos, celeb portraits, early “religious figurative work” and more narrative-based photographic compositions. And as with the recent J. Grant Brittain retrospective, there will be plenty of related ephemera (like negatives) and behind-the-scenes shots.

    “This exhibition at OMA is very special to me because I am revealing many new pieces that required me to use all of the experiences from my life to make. I have felt a great freedom in my work through recent years — as I continue to play with themes of popular culture while also returning to the narratives that offer a reflection of the spiritual world and metaphysical ideas,” LaChapelle said in a press statement. “In a way, this is like a group show because Coralie [Claeysen-Gleyzon, chief OMA curator]’s curation creates an experience where all of the different stages and sides of my work can be seen and felt.”

    One night ahead of the exhibition opening, there will be a — what else? — red carpet reception on Jan. 30 with music, snacks and a sneak peek of the photos. And there will be related programming during the full exhibition run, including a lecture and book-signing by LaChapelle, date TBA.

    Tickets for the opening reception go on sale Saturday, Dec. 6, through OMA.

    David LaChapelle: As the World Turns runs from Jan. 31, 2026, to May 3, 2026.

    MILAN, Italy, September 7, 2017 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The second installation of the “On The Road” project, titled “Ksana Spirits”, will be hosted by the Milan Art and Events Center from September 21 to September 28. Eleven artists from seven different countries will be featured: Bill Anderson (United States), Aditya Tri Hanggono (Indonesia), Zhenfei Liu (China), Sonny Pimentel (Mexico), Motoi Takahashi (Japan), Francisco Rizquez (Venezuela), Araceli Valdivia (Chile), Ping Wang (China), Yao Yao (China) and the duo artists Bai Feng & Juntao Yang (China). This exhibition is being curated by the founder of the “On The Road” project, Gaoya Yang, and displays distinctive works of art presented in different forms, from varied cultural backgrounds, aimed at both the public and professional audience.

    The Sanskrit word Ksana is used to describe a short, nearly imperceptible moment. A multitude of human emotions can arise and desist within the span of a Ksana. These emotions are hidden, complex and innumerable, endowing a moment of time with its own spirits. The artists have created a collection of works, filtered through individual creative ways of thinking and artistic expressions that have made it possible to construct an emotional dialog that travels through this time and space. The installation will be presented in a way to evoke a dialogue between the art and the emotions formed around the theme, “Ksana Spirits”.

    The “Ksana Spirits” exhibition is the second event in the “On The Road” project, which was founded and is curated by Gaoya Yang. The project is aimed at facilitating aesthetic pleasure and cultural exchange among artistic spaces around the world. With the sponsorship of AGSP Fashion Consulting in partnership with Immaterial Media, the “On The Road” project began its journey with its first exhibition in Beijing, China in December 2016, where twenty-eight photographs by several emerging artists from China, Mexico, and Ecuador were presented for the first time in the PDFCHIC Art Gallery for the international public.
