McBride / Dillman presents Midsummer, a group exhibition on view at 195 Henry Street in Manhattan from July 10 through August 14, 2026, with an opening reception on July 10 from 6–8 pm. Taking its title from the spirit of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Midsummer brings together artists whose work moves between reality and imagination, intimacy and myth, and instability and transformation. The exhibition is shaped by the strange, fertile energy of the season itself: a brief period when the world feels suspended between what is and what might be.

Across painting and sculpture, the artists in Midsummer engage states of flux, ambiguity, and reinvention. Figures slip between the domestic and the ethereal, materials carry traces of memory and ritual, and familiar scenes take on a heightened, psychologically charged atmosphere. Attuned as much to the dream logic of Shakespeare’s midsummer world as to the mood of New York right now—overheated, overcommitted, and unexpectedly optimistic—the exhibition lingers in a space where ordinary structures loosen and other possibilities come into view.

Works will be on view by Jessica Alazraki, Hannah Beerman, Petey Brown, Debra Cartwright, Wendy Fulenwider Liszt, Elisa Soliven, Enio Arroyo Gomez, Katinka Huang, Jeffrey Melo, Sarah Alice Moran, Adi Oren, Kellie Romany, Adrienne Elise Tarver and Oksana Zmiyevska
