From April 24 - May 08 2026 Marta was pleased to host The Mechanics of Scent, a traveling exhibition from multi-disciplinary Danish brand Frama. The second stop on its journey—following its first presentation at Matter & Shape in Paris—the exhibition landed in the gallery's Anteroom as a comprehensive olfactory experience featuring Frama’s iconic Apothecary scent; next door at Building Block Etc. a selection of the brand’s Fragrances and Self Care were on offer; and in the 3021 Courtyard, an arrangement of the company’s outdoor furniture still prompts a convivial, café-like gathering space.

From February 26 – 28 2026 Marta presented Do Snakes Go to Heaven When They Die?—the gallery’s inaugural participation in Post–Fair—with an exhibition of work by Pasadena-based master ceramicist George Sherman and Fair furniture from Cologne-based artist and designer Carsten in der Elst. Located in the iconic Santa Monica Post Office, the gallery seeded a section of the Art Deco building with a forest of Sherman’s floor works, their slender forms bound to industry—to the architecture and instruments used to channel heat in order to preserve, protect, and transform its material concerns.

Marta is proud to make available works from Marta Editions’ second release: A pair of photogravure prints by L.A.-based conceptual artist and photographer Erik Benjamins, from his Butts of Florence series of images. Eros and Perseus (both 2025) have been expertly printed in the intaglio tradition by the Nice-born, Los Angeles-based master printer Pascal Giraudon. Beyond their joyous and apparent subject matter, the prints speak to themes of history, wanderlust, classicism, mythology, and the figure. Available now, signed and numbered, in an edition of 50.

From January 10 – 31 2026 the gallery was honored to host From the Upper Valley in the Foothills, a group exhibition featuring participants from in and around greater Los Angeles that honored sacrifice, celebrated resilience, and looked to the capacity of artists and designers to examine the regenerative potential of a single, fundamental material: Wood. On the year anniversary of the Eaton and Palisades Fires, this presentation manifested as an effort to continue an active engagement with these monumental events and their ongoing effects on both land and community, rather than relegate them to the static memory of history. View the full exhibition page HERE.

From January 21 – 25 2026 the gallery celebrated its inaugural participation at FOG Design + Art in San Francisco with a presentation of work by New York-based artists Minjae Kim and Dominik Tarabański. Located within Pier 2 of the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, FOG Focus Booth 507, this coexistence of work, drawn together as compositions of lighting, seating, tabling, and photography, considered the artists’ shared gestures within disparate mediums—of the balancing act performed by the twin actors of material tension and formal calculation.
