Designed and curated by creative director Chelsea Hansford, the store channels a tropical, pop-deco aesthetic, with bold, abstract body sculptures created by artist Leonard Urso. As silver sandals and fish-shaped purses sit next to surrealist ceramics by Peter Keil, Simon Miller blurs the line between retail space and gallery. 821 Traction Ave., Los Angeles. simonmillerusa.com

The Orange County Museum of Art presents its 2025 California Biennial: “Desperate, Scared, But Social,” featuring 12 artists exploring the rich, precocious and often awkward stage of late adolescence through multimedia exhibitions. Huntington Beach-based photographer Deanna Templeton pairs scans of her own teenage diary entries with portraits of young women she’s met over the years. Riot Grrrl band Emily’s Sassy Lime will have an installation of archival music videos, photographs, zines and more from the 1990s; recent teenage punk band the Linda Lindas, who draw inspiration from Emily’s Sassy Lime, will also present their music videos, drawings and props.

Hauser & Wirth presents two exciting exhibitions this month at the downtown space. Luchita Hurtado: “Yo Soy,” celebrates the Venezuelan-born, Los Angeles-based artist’s vibrant and abstract self portraits. Hurtado primarily worked on the exhibition’s featured pieces while living in Santa Monica in the 1970s, embroiled in the beginnings of the L.A. women’s movement that shaped her artistic identity. Using oil paints to create bright, sweeping strokes and cutting canvases apart to sew them together in new ways, Hurtado questioned the abstraction of the phrase “I am.” Additionally, look for James Jarvaise and Henry Taylor’s “Sometimes a straight line has to be crooked,” which positions Taylor’s paintings in dialogue with Jarvaise, his teacher. The installation features over seven decades of work by the two artists, highlighting their parallel energies and color usage. June 29–Oct. 5. 901 E. 3rd St., Los Angeles. hauserwirth.com

The exhibition features a new body of work Sutherland created from 2024 to 2025, including large-scale abstract paintings, collage that weaves together drawings, photographs, stickers and found images, and sculpture. On view through June 17. 451 N La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles. driesvannoten.com
