Construction begins on Africa’s largest airport, designed by zha
 
Ethiopian Airlines Group begins construction on what is set to become Africa’s largest airport, Bishoftu International Airport (BIA), designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and located around 40 kilometers southeast of Addis Ababa. With an initial annual capacity of 60 million passengers, rising to 110 million once fully built, the project marks a major infrastructural shift for the country, positioning Ethiopia as a central aviation hub between Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. 
 
The architectural concept draws from Ethiopia’s geography and cultural diversity. A central spine organizes the terminal and its piers, reducing transfer...

Architecture is never just about buildings. It is a way of understanding place, memory and care, shaped by the cultural traditions of a place and the people who inhabit it. The very best structures respond to social change, ecological responsibility and human experience, creating something that is perfectly in harmony with its surroundings. These five exhibitions spotlight the designers and buildings that shape how we live, heal and connect. They include Geoffrey Bawa’s quietly radical reimagining of Modernism in Sri Lanka; the intricate designs of Herzog & de Meuron; and contemporary practices that open up new ways of living.

The site, which will feature work by artists such as Alberto Giacometti and Henry Moore, is expected to open in the autumn—though planning permission is yet to be confirmed

Marc Leschelier installs a walkable field of pre-architecture
 
Marc Leschelier brings his practice of pre-architecture to Florence with the monumental installation Ancient / New Site. The project occupies the central square of the Fortezza da Basso with 18 monolithic structures that visitors are invited to enter, cross, and inhabit. Spread across 1,700 square meters, the structures are built from scaffolding frames clad in concrete canvas, a material that has become central to Leschelier’s work. Originally developed for infrastructural purposes such as slope stabilization and roadside reinforcement, concrete canvas is a flexible textile impregnated with cement. Once positioned and moistened, it hardens...

Vitamins by Eleonore Buschinger and Tabea Mathern
 
Vitamins is a collaborative project by designer Eleonore Buschinger’s Vitamin Color and photographer Tabea Mathern that explores vegetables as a material for contemporary image-making. Developed in New York, the series presents sculptural still lifes in which everyday objects, from fashion accessories to familiar household items, are reconstructed entirely from produce. By replacing industrial materials with organic ones, the project invites a new way of looking at both objects and food.  The collaboration brings together two complementary practices: Vitamin Color’s long-standing exploration of vegetables as cultural and emotional objects, and...

I wasn't alive during the golden age of Verdi baritones like MacNeil, Warren, or Gobbi, but hearing Amartuvshin Enkhbat live in an opera house must be the next best thing.

There's a particular magic in discovering the worlds created by the late prescient author Ursula K. Le Guin, from the Earthsea archipelago to the planet of Gethen. The former series was one of the first I encountered as a young reader that centered non-White characters.Even her carefully drawn maps reveal a mind with gears always turning, swirling with storylines that defied linearity and conventions of science fiction — and the way writers speak to their readers. "A book is just a box of words until a reader opens it," she replied to each of her many fan letters.Theo Downes-Le Guin brought his mother's approach to art and literature to life for an exhibition at Oregon Contemporary in Portland,...

Saru Translates Memory into Domestic Architecture
 
Tales of Saru is a residential project by Studio for Architecture and Regional Urbanism (SARU), located in Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu, India, at the foothills of the Nilgiris. Built on the site of the client’s childhood home, the 3,200-sqft house is conceived as an architectural framework shaped by memory, landscape, and lived experience rather than by a predefined stylistic approach. The design translates recollections of place into spatial sequences, organizing the house around four distinct architectural narratives, or ‘tales,’ each derived from specific experiences associated with the land.
 
The project responds closely to its setting, drawing from...

From Bourgeois to Calder: modern sculpture at the Rijksmuseum
 
The Rijksmuseum is set to expand its public presence beyond its historic walls with the creation of a sculpture garden of international scope, scheduled to open in autumn 2026 in Amsterdam. Enabled by a €60 million donation from the Don Quixote Foundation, the project will introduce a freely accessible green cultural landscape in Amsterdam, bringing together modern and contemporary sculpture, landscape design, and architectural adaptation. The new outdoor complex, officially titled the Don Quixote Pavilion and Garden at the Rijksmuseum, will present works by artists including Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois, Alexander Calder, Jean Arp,...

Altrove, prima mostra personale in Italia, in corso presso la Galleria napoletana Sulmondo, è un viaggio nella poetica dell’artista taiwanese Wu Kuan-Te. Nato nel 1979, inizia la sua carriera nel 1995, laureandosi presso il Fine Arts Institute of Taiwan Normal University. Il suo pensiero e la sua arte sono fortemente influenzati da esperienze di viaggio internazionali, come quello del 2011 in Francia sulle orme di Paul Cézanne, dalla filosofia orientale e dall’osservazione della natura.

The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut will launch a new recurring survey, called the Aldrich Decennial, and true to its name will take place every 10 years. In its role as “the state’s only institution exclusively dedicated to contemporary art,” per a release, the Aldrich has decided to focus its decennial on artists living and working in Connecticut. Additionally, selected artists will not have exhibited in Connecticut previously, and the work on view will have been made within the last decade. Running June 7, 2026, to January 10, 2027, the first iteration of the decennial will take the title “I am what is around me” and is organized by chief curator Amy Smith-Stewart and...

“I’m not mad at you, dude,” Renee Nicole Good, a poet and mother living in Minneapolis, told her eventual killer, a masked ICE agent. Good’s death—captured on video—has made global headlines and added fuel to the ongoing mobilization of Minneapolis’s civilian population against ICE. Her last reported words, uttered moments before the agent opened fire into her SUV, have appeared at protests in Los Angeles, Washington, and Chicago—cities where President Donald Trump has ordered a crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Beginning at sunrise on Tuesday in New York City, another “sanctuary city” now beset by federal troops, an artist began repeating Good’s words outside the local ICE field...

Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum has announced that it will open a new sculpture garden in the fall of 2026. The endeavor will be funded by a donation of nearly $70 million from the Don Quixote Foundation. According to Dutch News, the foundation is financed by Dutch billionaire Rolly van Rappard, who founded venture capital company CVC. The site of the new garden will be in Carel Willinkplantsoen, a small park just across the Boerenwetering canal from the Rijksmuseum. The park will be merged with three adjacent pavilions built in the “Amsterdam School” style. The Rijksmuseum has engaged the London architecture firm Foster + Partners to renovate the pavilions, which will soon be open to the public for the first...

We tell young artists never to pay for the privilege of being considered. Then we send them into an art world that invoices them for the opportunity. Ten dollars here, $40 there, “just a SlideRoom fee,” “just to cover jurors.” Small line items with significant consequences. The logic is tidy: it weeds out the unserious, funds the review, and keeps the lights on. The reality is messier. Fees are a paywall on opportunity, and paywalls do not measure merit. They measure means. When a field built on ideals of access and expression charges for the act of showing up, the rhetoric of equity collapses into the economics of endurance.Application fees are one of the least examined but most pervasive forms of...

In A Sexual History of the Internet (2025), artist and researcher Mindy Seu proposes a different kind of archive: one that maps how bodies, desires, technologies, and systems of power have been entangled since the earliest days of our beloved web. Rather than frame this research through a traditional academic text or media theory, Seu retools the publishing format entirely, intentionally delivering the project as part performance, part artist book, and part financial experiment. Taken together, these components challenge the sanitized, teleological narratives that have long defined internet history. In their place, Seu offers a parallel record drawn from theorists, net artists, cyberfeminists, and sex workers...

Months after President Trump proposed excluding the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) from his Fiscal Year 2026 budget, the Republican-led United States House of Representatives approved a bill that would continue funding both agencies. Last Thursday, January 8, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of several funding measures, including the Interior and Environment Appropriations Act of 2026, the bill that determines the annual allocations for the NEA, NEH, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Gallery of Art, the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), and other cultural programs. The House voted in favor of full or...

That age-old existential question — "Add Value" or "Add Time"? — is dead. The ball drop in Times Square also marked the end of the MetroCard; we live in an OMNY world now. How I'll miss that lime-green student MetroCard, with which I swiped my way into all kinds of adolescent misadventures.For all those feeling similarly sentimental — speaking as someone who, yes, once commuted on the V train — it's time for a visit to the New York Transit Museum. There, an exhibition puts the MetroCard to rest with an homage to its history, technology, and long collaboration with the arts. Well. Ever upward, as our motto goes. Get that contactless card ready, because there's a ton to see and do in the...

Hope McMath, an artist and art history teacher who until recently taught at the Douglas Anderson School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida, was removed from the classroom in September in connection with social media posts she made following the assassination of Charlie Kirk that month. Although an investigation by Duval County Public Schools has since concluded, McMath told local public radio station WJCT on Monday that the district has refused to reinstate her. Investigators, according to McMath and her attorney John Phillips, substantiated a finding related to the “use of profanity” on McMath’s private social media accounts but found no evidence to support a series of other allegations raised in the...

The museum will offer free admission during its opening weekend festivities

The Art Institute of Chicago acquired some eye-catching artworks in 2025, among them a striking portrait of the 20th century Austrian composer Josef Matthias Hauer by New Objectivity painter Christian Schad (his first portrait owned by a U.S. museum), Kay WalkingStick’s painting of Glacier National Park, and a self-portrait by the Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert. The Spilliaert drawing was purchased at the European Fine Art Foundation’s (TEFAF) spring art fair in Maastricht. Jay A. Clarke, curator of prints and drawings at the AIC, told ARTnews that the museum had been on the hunt for a work by Spilliaert for a decade. “We have passed on several drawings over the years, waiting for a great work from...

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND—According to a statement released by the University of Edinburgh, analysis of tooth enamel samples collected from the remains of people buried in England between the end of Roman rule in Britain around A.D. 400 and the arrival of the Normans around 1100 indicates that migration to the island was continuous throughout the period. Tooth enamel is laid down during childhood and carries chemical markers of the local environment. Sam Leggett of the University of Edinburgh, Susanne Hakenbeck of the University of Cambridge, and their colleagues examined more than 700 chemical signatures in the samples, and determined that people came to England from the Mediterranean, northwestern Europe, Wales,...

Through the atmospheric lens of New York-based photographer Geordie Wood, a short film called “Divers” glimpses a day in the life of an elite high-diving camp. A moody yet bright setting evokes the way sun still glares when tucked behind clouds or glints off the surface water, and individuals are alternately silhouetted and spotlit by its glow. With cinematography by Adam Golfer and editing by Luke Lorentzen, film short “documents the restless anticipation of walking to the platform’s edge and the fleeting serenity found in jumping.” Watch below, a find it on Vimeo. You might also enjoy the 2017 film “Ten Meter Tower.” Do stories and artists like this matter to you? Become a Colossal Member today...

CT scan of mummified man SANTIAGO, CHILE—Live Science reports that Catalina Morales and Francisco Garrido of Chile’s National Museum of Natural History examined the 1,100-year-old remains of a man unearthed in the Atacama Desert. At the time of the discovery in the 1970s, it was noted that the man’s lower left leg was broken, and that he had likely been involved in an accident in a nearby turquoise mine. The new study suggests that the man was between the ages of 25 and 40 at the time of death, sometime between A.D. 894 and 1016. X-rays and CT scans of the mummy show that he had suffered extensive trauma, likely caused by a rockfall or collapse in the mine. The injuries included fractures in the upper...

Carved bone stylus GELA, SICILY—La Brújula Verde reports that a bone stylus dated to the fifth century B.C. was unearthed in southern Sicily during an archaeological investigation conducted in advance of a construction project. The five-inch stylus was recovered from an area with a paved surface and collapsed structures that are thought to have been used as workshops in the Greek colony. The top of the stylus is carved with a man’s head, perhaps representing Dionysus as a herm or a bust in a squared stone pillar. The central part of the pillar features a carving of a phallus. Archaeologist Gianluca Calà, excavation director for the Municipality of Gela, said that the fragility of the item, and the...

South Africa’s Department of Sport, Arts, and Culture has canceled artist Gabrielle Goliath’s pavilion at the upcoming Sixty-First Venice Biennale, calling it “highly divisive.” According to South African news platform the Daily Maverick, Arts and Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie ended the project because it contained content relating to the deaths of women and children in Gaza. The move would […]

In museums everywhere, collections departments are troves of historical objects, art, cultural artifacts, and scientific specimens. In our increasingly digital age, it’s easy to forget that in many cases, a good amount—sometimes even the majority—of records are documented in heavy, physical catalogues or accession registers. And over the course of decades or even centuries, labels can get damaged, items can go awol, or in the worst case scenario, fire or water damage can destroy these valuable resources. In a sense, these analog databases are just as important as the objects they document, providing information about provenance and materials. In filing drawers, cases, and archival boxes, pieces are...

Once again, January sees the UK’s high streets, rail stations and shopping centres transform into a national art gallery, as JCDecaux’s digital screens light up with faces. This is Portrait of Britain, an initiative which launched in 2016 to showcase the diversity of modern Britain. The collaboration between British Journal of Photography and JCDecaux takes place annually, and this year’s edition “reaffirms the award’s commitment to public space, public attention and public storytelling.” It was judged by representatives from leading organisations like BAFTA and Photo London, as well as renowned artists including Dennis Morris and Rene Matić. Meet ten of the 100 winning photographers, and read...

Glitched landscapes. Paper fish. Echoes of René Magritte. These longlisted artists from the 2025 Aesthetica Art Prize create surreal works that make audiences double take. Figures are distorted in the landscape, blending in with flora and foliage, whilst elsewhere clouds look like they’ve blurred and stretched. The result is a body of art that is at once playful and unsettling, inviting viewers to question not only what they are seeing, but how systems of representation, authorship and reality are constructed. Karl Roberts Karl Roberts conjures surreal self-portraits that bring his vivid imagination to life. Drawing on inspirations from literature, music and cinema, his projects evolve over weeks into...

A high-drama Vanessa by the Boston Symphony Orchestra offers something to believe in.

The US-Mexico Border. Suburban sprawl. Wealth disparities. These concepts are subject of photographer Alejandro Cartagena (b. 1977). The prolific artist, originally from the Dominican Republic and now based in Mexico, employs landscape and portraiture to examine social, urban and environmental issues. He uses a vast array of formats and techniques, from documentary and collage to the appropriation of vernacular photographs and AI-generated imagery. There is a political decisiveness to his practice, prompting viewers to question to the systems that shape our world. They’re rooted in Mexico, and each image has a distinct sense of place, but his series speaks to shared global conditions of migration,...

All’inizio del Novecento, nella storia dell’arte, si apre una frattura. Con Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907) di Pablo Picasso, questo passaggio si configura come un vero spartiacque nella costruzione dell’immagine: la pittura interrompe il patto illusionistico della tridimensionalità ed è costretta a confrontarsi, senza più schermi protettivi, con la propria condizione materiale. È in questo slittamento che entra in crisi il paradigma della finestra prospettica rinascimentale teorizzato da Leon Battista Alberti, e che la pittura smette di funzionare come diaframma trasparente sul mondo, affermandosi come presenza autonoma: una realtà che occupa spazio, superficie e tempo, assumendo i tratti di...

For the Chicana feminist theorist Gloria Anzaldúa, rigidity is a sure path to demise. In her manifesto, Borderlands/La Frontera, Anzaldúa presents what she calls a new mestiza consciousness, which advocates for ambiguity and moves “toward a more whole perspective, one that includes rather than excludes.” Groundbreaking when it was published in 1987, this theory pushed queer, feminist, and cultural scholars to consider how identity is both fluid and informed by several overlapping factors. It also helped to lay the groundwork for branches of study like ecofeminism, which connects the subjugation of women to the subjugation of nature. “Ritual a las faldas de un volcán” (2025), oil on linen, 120 x 90 x...

ERBIL, IRAQ—More than 7,000 artifacts, including clay seal impressions, clay tokens, figurines, and cylinder seals, have been uncovered at Tapeh Tyalineh, a 5,000-year-old site on the Mereg River in western Iran, according to The Greek Reporter. The objects were found in the remnants of mudbrick structures and in trash pits. Shokouh Khosravi of the University of Kurdistan said that the artifacts would have been used to mark jars, seal doors, and keep track of goods such as grain, oil, and possibly wine. The more than 200 designs on the artifacts are similar to those seen on seal impressions from other Early Bronze Age sites in Iran and Mesopotamia. Khosravi concluded that Tapeh Tyalineh was likely an...

By Kristine Schomaker Standing in front of Leonie Weber's cardboard relief at Wönzimer and my brain's trying to sort through everything it's reminding me of—Abstract Expressionism, Nevelson, Bontecou, constructivism, Malevich's Black Square. All these art history touchstones showing up in what's essentially crushed Amazon boxes painted black and mounted on a wall. From a distance it reads as pure gesture—black forms exploding across the surface. But get closer and you see the construction....

Two sides of one the arrowheads analyzed, with traces of organic residues (left) STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN—Hunting with poison arrows has been pushed back to 60,000 years ago, according to a Live Science report. Sven Isaksson of Stockholm University and his colleagues detected traces of poison in residues on five quartz arrowheads recovered from South Africa’s Umhlatuzana rock shelter, which was excavated in 1985. The toxin, called buphandrine, would have weakened prey, thus reducing the length of time and amount of energy expended on the hunt. The toxin epibuphanisine was detected on just one of the arrowheads, but both toxins had probably been applied to all of the weapons, Isaksson said. They may have even been...

Carved in low relief on vertical panels of wood, winged creatures, flowers, and mammals populate the surfaces of Valerie Hammond’s dream-like compositions. The artist plumbs the liminal state between sleeping and waking, where reality and fantasy blend and are sometimes indiscernible. Hammond recently exhibited a new body of work at Planthouse in an exhibition titled Waking Dreams, which is also the name of her series of wood engravings depicting flora and woodland creatures in an elegant, suspended state. Focusing on animals like bats, moths, hares, and owls, the artist brings nocturnal creatures to the fore—those that become active at dusk—in an elegant exploration of the relationships between day and...

Le opere di Sara Enrico (Torino, 1979) abitano un territorio di confine, fatto di pulsazioni, ambiguità e tensioni sensoriali che dialogano con le genealogie dell’Eccentric Abstraction, quella sfida alla radice delle forme primarie che informava le riflessioni di Lucy Lippard trovando attuazione nella prima esperienza espositiva alla Marilyn Fischbach Gallery di New York nel 1966. A questo magma sensistico afferivano artiste come Eva Hesse, Dorothea Tanning, Keith Sonnier, Alice Adams, Louise Bourgeois, nelle cui opere i confini si dissolvono generando “qualcosa di più sensuale e sensibile”[1]. Sara Enrico utilizza materiali di diversa natura per costruire oggetti che oscillano tra corpo e artificio....

Che le tecnologie digitali stiano riconfigurando il campo dell’arte contemporanea è ormai un dato acquisito. Meno scontato è capire in che direzione si stia muovendo questa trasformazione e quali siano gli snodi critici che meritano attenzione. È a questa necessità di orientamento che risponde Transforming Arts, l’evento organizzato dall’Accademia di Belle Arti di Catania per il 15 e 16 gennaio 2026, nell’ambito del più ampio progetto ART.IT – Art in Transition, finanziato dal PNRR e coordinato dall’Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna in collaborazione con altri enti accademici. Non si tratta di una semplice rassegna di novità tecnologiche applicate all’arte, ma di un tentativo più...

What counts as sculpture? 20th century practitioners consistently pushed the boundaries of what it meant to produce three-dimensional art. Pieces were designed to decay or be dismantled, existing only fleetingly, moving out of traditional gallery spaces to explore how sculpture relates to the natural world. Anish Kapoor’s mirrored and void-like forms explore perception, space and time, whilst Jeff Koon’s highly-polished large-scale forms appropriate kitsch and consumer imagery. These five exhibitions foreground some of the most influential figures who have shaped what it means to create sculpture, and those who continue to question the creation of art, who it is for and who is excluded.  Mona Hatoum:...

With a two-headed, dozen-eyed Mona Lisa, a disjointed Frida Kahlo exploding like tiny little pieces of glass, and a tiny Napoleon in Egypt sitting on a gargantuan, long-limbed horse, collage artist and illustrator Lola Dupre proves that there’s art to be done after art is… well… done.
