Warhol Foundation grants to support 2025 solo shows by Eric-Paul Riege and Pao Houa Her

Grants from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts will support upcoming solo exhibitions by Pao Houa Her at John Michael Kohler Arts Center (JMKAC) and Eric-Paul Riege at the  Brown University’s David Winton Bell Gallery.

Co-presented by JMKAC and the San Jose Museum of Art, Pao Houa Her: The Imaginative Landscape encompasses seven photographic series and video work from almost 20 years of Her’s practice. The first major survey and publication of her work, the exhibition will also expand beyond institutional spaces into community gathering sites as posters and billboards. The exhibition will be on view at JMKAC from March 15–September 21, 2025, and at SJMA from July 15, 2025–January 2026, during the 50th anniversary year of Hmong resettlement in the United States.

The David Winton Bell Gallery will present Eric-Paul Riege’s first major solo exhibition in fall 2025. The show will include new work created in dialogue with the Diné collection at Brown’s Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology. The two-year grant from the Warhol Foundation will support a range of programming, including performances by Riege and other Indigenous artists, as well as a public gathering to discuss topics such as the repatriation of Indigenous artworks.
