Welcome to This Week in Culture, a weekly agenda of show openings and events in major cities across the globe. From galleries and institutions to one-of-a-kind happenings, our on-going survey highlights the best of contemporary culture, for those willing to make the journey.

“Not Enough To See” by Louise Lawler
Sprüth Magers New York
In her latest exhibition, Brooklyn-based artist and photographer Louise Lawler continues her examination of image-making by adding a new “swiped” motif to her photos.
