Looking ahead to September’s heavy schedule of openings, this week’s exhibition highlights include a mix of current and upcoming shows. Jenny Holzer brings her signature L.E.D. installations to Seoul’s Kukje Gallery, and video artist Bill Viola opens Transformations at Tokyo’s Gallery Koyanagi. At Almine Rech Gallery in Belgium, Richard Prince names an exhibition after classic 60s band The Fugs, and in Berlin, Ai Weiwei curates photographs from his early days as an artist and student in New York.
