Lisson Gallery: Tony Oursler Exhibition to Open at Tokyo Node on July 3, 2026
On June 3, 2026, Tokyo Node announced the exhibition 'Tony Oursler: Between Technology and Spiritual Knowledge - Magic, Media, and Art', which runs from July 3 to September 27, 2026. The show surveys major works including Private (1994-1997) and Specular (2021) with Jim Shaw, plus unpublished pieces realized after more than 25 years and new site-specific installations. It also presents a selection of roughly 3,000 archival items from Oursler's collection covering science, magic, and unidentified phenomena.
The Signal
The presentation underscores Oursler's sustained examination of technology, belief systems, and invisible forces, offering collectors and curators a clear view of his trajectory from early video installations to current immersive projects. By mixing historical, long-conceived, and newly commissioned works, the exhibition signals continued institutional interest in media-based practices that address surveillance, data, and the paranormal. The archival component further positions the show as a resource for understanding the artist's research methods and thematic range.
