2026 FALL WEEK

ISLAA is pleased to present Fall Week 2026, a series of exhibitions, films, and conversations taking place from September 24 through October 3. The program opens with The New York Graphic Workshop: Towards Total Art, curated by Olivia Casa.

Cinema takes center stage with Biografía de Jorge Luis Borges, the new film by Mariano Llinás, presented at the 64th New York Film Festival with the support of ISLAA. The screenings will be accompanied by two conversations featuring Llinás and writer Ernesto Montequín.

The program continues on October 2 and 3 with Not Assimilated by Contemplation: A Symposium on the Argentine Avant-Garde of the 1960s, jointly organized by ISLAA and Dia Art Foundation and presented at Dia Chelsea and ISLAA. The symposium is held in conjunction with David Lamelas: The Machine, the groundbreaking exhibition currently on view at Dia Chelsea.
