The Untitled Space is pleased to present TRANSHUMANISM, a solo online exhibition by contemporary artist Joanna Grochowska, that launched on Artsy in July and is open through October 31, 2025. The exhibition is part of Grochowska’s ongoing conceptual project Opening the Future, first introduced in Munich in 2021.
Through a visual language grounded in transhuman and posthuman figurativeness, TRANSHUMANISM explores the transformation of the human body in an era of radical technological advancement, navigating themes of morphological freedom and biotechnological augmentation.
Grochowska’s process merges photography with digital manipulation, performance, and speculative theory. Drawing on posthumanist and transhumanist thought, she stages and constructs surreal, symbol-laden imagery that reimagines the human body as an augmented, evolving entity. Through digital intervention and conceptual framing, her work interrogates the ethics, aesthetics, and future of human identity in the age of technological transformation. Central to her philosophy is the belief that the progress of technological evolution implies the emergence of new paradigms of gender, body, and identity.
Inspired by the philosophical questions posed by Klaus Schwab, Ray Kurzweil, and Elon Musk, the series speculates on the aesthetic and ethical implications of human enhancement. It also builds upon the legacy of Jeffrey Deitch’s landmark show Post Human (1992), positioning Grochowska’s practice within a lineage of artists interrogating the boundaries of the human condition.
TRANSHUMANISM invites viewers to contemplate the role of art in shaping speculative futures—and to consider what it truly means to evolve.
Artist Bio: Joanna Grochowska is a contemporary artist whose practice confronts the rapidly evolving boundaries of identity, body politics, and technology. At the heart of her work lies a commitment to redefining what it means to be human in the face of accelerating advancements in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and cybernetics. Rooted in the philosophy of transhumanism, Grochowska’s art explores the concept of morphological freedom–the right to modify one’s body and mind–as a radical act of self-determination and resistance to imposed norms. Grochowska holds an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and is an alumna of the Jewish Open University of the Shalom Foundation, as well as a member of Humanity+, the international transhumanist organization. Her art not only explores speculative futures but also champions bodily sovereignty, feminist empowerment, and the liberation of identity beyond biological constraints.
She has participated in several group shows presented by The Untitled Space, including “The INNOVATE Exhibit” (2022) and “UPRISE 2025: The Art Of Resistance” (2025). This is her first solo show with the gallery.
“My work represents the creation of a new art movement: transhumanist art. The central question I address is taken from Klaus Schwab: What future do we want? What must we do to get there? Through delving into speculative futures shaped by human enhancement technologies, I reimagine the body as an unnatural, augmented, and evolving entity. My practice challenges definitions of what it means to be human, and questions how technology is reshaping paradigms of gender, identity, and ethics. Building on the discourse introduced by Jeffrey Deitch’s Post Human series (1992), as well as being informed by the theories of Elon Musk, Ray Kurzweil, and other visionaries shaping the future of human evolution, my work is both an affirmation of transhumanist philosophy and an aesthetic exploration of future realities.” — Joanna Grochowska
Miami Beach is about to trade in its sunscreen for art, ambition, and audacity, as Art Basel 2025 takes over the city in a whirlwind of color, ideas, and unapologetic creativity. From Havana to São Paulo, New York to Kyiv, 283 galleries are landing in the Sunshine State, bringing a global parade of Modern masters, postwar icons, and daring emerging voices. This year, the fair is shining a spotlight on Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic artists—because if Miami is the crossroads of the Americas, Art Basel is the crossroads of ideas. Get ready for a week where the beach vibes meet bold statements, and the cocktail of culture is curated with intellectual rigor.
The latest Art Basel & UBS Survey of Global Collecting reveals a new balance of power in the art world — where women lead in spending, Gen Z embraces digital art, and collecting becomes as much about identity as investment.
From 12 October 2025 to 25 January 2026, Basel’s Fondation Beyeler goes full dot-mad with the first-ever Swiss solo exhibition of Yayoi Kusama. Spanning over 70 years of her prolific career, the show brings together 300+ works — from intimate 1950s watercolours to new, immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms created just for this occasion. Wander through hypnotic nets, mirrored environments, and dazzling sculptures as Kusama turns the museum (and its garden) into a universe of repetition, reflection, and sheer spectacle. Prepare to see yourself multiplied… infinitely.
