Carpenters Workshop Gallery will open Rust Never Sleeps, a new exhibition by Rick Owens Furniture, on Oct. 14 at its Ladbroke Hall location.

The Desert Breathes Slowly at Melissa Morgan Fine Art brings together the work of architect and artist Leo Marmol, ceramicist Nobuhito Nishigawara, and sculptor Curt Brill in a contemplative exploration of the desert’s expanse and intimacy.

Curated by Thomas Heatherwick, the Seoul Biennale centers on the “Humanise Wall”—a 90-meter-long, four-story installation of 1,428 steel tiles inscribed with insights from citizens, scientists, and designers. Featuring 400 projects from 38 countries by 110 architects, the Wall acts as a manifesto for joyful, human-centered buildings. Alongside, 24 ‘Walls of Public Life’—fragments of building facades created by global designers ranging from architects to chefs and fashion designers—demonstrate how building exteriors can shape urban life.
