Once the Ocean Floor: John Chiara, Linda Connor, David Maisel, and Meghann Riepenhoff | May 8 - July 3, 2026

Haines proudly presents Once the Ocean Floor, a group exhibition of photography featuring works by John Chiara, Linda Connor, David Maisel, and Meghann Riepenhoff. Once the Ocean Floor includes Connor's images of Himalayan landscapes and rock-faces, for which the show is named, alongside Chiara's luminous Ilfochrome prints made during a 2025 artist residency in Georgia, aerial photographs from Maisel's latest series, Spiraling, and Riepenhoff's cyanotypes of vulnerable environments and bodies of water. Working across a range of photographic processes, these artists foreground the natural world not simply as subject, but as an active force—an agent, collaborator, and historian.

Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle | May 8 - July 3, 2026

Haines proudly presents Andy Goldsworthy: For Olle, our 12th solo exhibition with the celebrated artist. For Olle is dedicated to Goldsworthy’s longtime friend and collaborator, San Francisco architect Olle Lundberg, whose recent passing informs the exhibition. Bringing together a suite of related photographic works and a white clay sculpture created for this presentation, the show offers an intimate reflection on materiality and memory, loss and renewal. Goldsworthy has built an unparalleled reputation for works in various media that explore our relationship to the natural world. At the heart of the exhibition are three photographic diptychs from Fallen Elm (2009–present), an ongoing series documenting ephemeral works made in relation to a single, fallen elm tree near the artist’s home in Scotland. For nearly two decades, this tree has been the slow-changing site and subject of many of Goldsworthy’s ephemeral works, exploring its contours and gradual transformation. On view for the first time, the Fallen Elm works in For Olle feature delicate yellowed elm leaves and grass stalks that Goldsworthy has arranged along the trunk of the fallen elm in various constellations: a line, screen, or starburst.

The Shape of Looking: Rebekah Goldstein, Ricardo Mazal, and David Simpson | July 10 - September 5, 2026

Haines Gallery is pleased to present The Shape of Looking, a group exhibition bringing together three abstract painters — Rebekah Goldstein, Ricardo Mazal, and David Simpson — whose practices draw from associative and perceptual shifts, engaging color, material, and process as primary vehicles for meaning. While working with distinct concerns and sensibilities, each artist approaches abstraction as an open field shaped by perception, memory, and the physical properties of their chosen media. Whether through Goldstein’s playfully charged, shaped canvases, Mazal’s meditative, research-driven paintings, or Simpson’s light-activated Interference series, the works on view invite sustained looking, revealing themselves over time. Together, these artists foreground abstraction as a dynamic mode of inquiry — one that remains deeply connected to both the perceptual world and lived experience.
