Black champagne and the smells of Mars, tasteless candy and recorded silence, Lori Gréaud’s art is equal parts science experiment and cyberpunk carnival ride. On Saturday, Greaud will bring his heady thrills to New York with “The Unplayed Notes” at the Pace Gallery, his first major US show. The 32-year-old artist shot to international prominence in recent years with shows in London, Tokyo and Paris, including a 2008 exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo that was the first solo show to use the venue’s entire 40,000 square foot space.

The first exhibition in the United States at the Art Institute of Chicago devoted to French artist Cahun’s work, Entre Nous: The Art of Claude Cahun brings together over 80 photographs and published material by Cahun and her partner Moore. Born Lucy Schwob to a family of French Jewish intellectuals and writers, Claude Cahun (who adopted the pseudonym at age 22) is best known for the staged self-portraiture, photomontages, and prose texts she made principally between 1920 and 1940.

In her self-portraits, which she began creating around 1913, Cahun dismantled and questioned preexisting notions ...
