Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Jewel is set to debut her visual art exhibition at the Salone Verde in Venice, Italy.
The exhibition, presented in association with Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and curated by Joe Thompson, will run concurrently with the Venice Biennale 2026.
"Matriclysm: An Archeology of Connections Lost" will be on view May 10 to November 22, 2026.
The exhibition, which explores themes of motherhood, feminine power, and the consequences of its loss, will also feature never-before-seen painting, sculpture, tapestry, installation, and sound works that Jewel has created specifically for this exhibition, the largest presentation of this multi-faceted artist to date.
"At first glance, this exhibition centers on issues of femininity, power, and ecological consciousness, but at its core it is about memory, both profoundly personal and alarmingly global," comments Jewel. "If something of a cautionary tale, my hope is that the show reminds us what it feels like to be in closer harmony, inviting us to unearth ways to reconnect us to ourselves, each other, and the world around us."
"For me the show offers three works representing undiluted feminine power: First Mother, Seven Sisters, and Heart of the Ocean. From those rather magisterial representations, the show explores the unraveling both personally and globally," she adds.
"At Crystal Bridges, we are committed to lifting artists' voices and creating spaces where curiosity and exploration can flourish. Matriclysm invites audiences to engage with urgent themes and discover new perspectives, sparking the kind of dialogue that deepens our connection to art and to one another, " said Rod Bigelow, Executive Director, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
