La forza dell’arte di Cecilia Vicuña (1948, Santiago del Cile) risiede nell’intensità dell’approccio rituale e performativo, da cui traggono origine le molteplici forme della sua espressione: poetica, pittorica, tessile-scultorea, relazionale. Osservarla mentre conduce una performance e ascoltarla parlare del suo lavoro, come è capitato al pubblico intervenuto all’inaugurazione della sua mostra al Castello di Rivoli – la prima personale in un museo italiano – rivela l’aspetto sciamanico del suo operare artistico.

a paris address rebuilt in new york
 
In 1918, Gabrielle Chanel bought 31 rue Cambon and gradually assembled her fashion house upward through the building. The boutique occupied the ground floor, the couture salons sat above, and the mirrored staircase became its most famous piece of interior architecture. Chanel could sit near the top and watch models descend through the fractured reflections below, seeing the clothes before the room could see her. Over time, the address acquired the aura usually reserved for a logo. Rue Cambon became shorthand for Parisian luxury.
 
A century later, the address has resurfaced on Centre Street in Manhattan. Tom Sachs has turned his longtime studio at 245 Centre Street into...

Naru Hiko Reframes Familiar Scenes from Japan’s Parks
 
Through simplified colors and forms, Naru Hiko’s oil paintings reframe familiar landscapes across Japan, focusing on the ordinary elements found in parks and residential neighborhoods. The paintings draw from walks through everyday public and residential spaces in Japan. Benches, traffic cones, fences, and playground structures become recurring subjects, bringing attention to objects and architectural elements that often go unnoticed within the urban landscape. Blue Forms | all images ©Naru Hiko
 
 
The artworks depict Benches, Fences, and Playgrounds
 
Rather than reproducing these scenes literally, artist Naru Hiko simplifies and reconstructs...

Every year on September 11, New Yorkers pay tribute to the victims of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center — and to the wounds of the weeks and years after. That period was defined by grief, rebuilding efforts, and, almost immediately, a vicious campaign of Islamophobia and surveillance whose effects reshaped the world as they knew it. Iraqi-born artist Wafaa Bilal recalls, “I sensed at once that the comfort and security Americans had long taken for granted were gone.”Bilal is one of several artists from Muslim, South Asian, and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) communities whose lives were indelibly altered by the United States’s weaponization of the 9/11 attacks to pass the PATRIOT Act...

Emerging Caribbean-American artist Michael Richards was in his studio on the 92nd floor of the World Trade Center's North Tower when the first plane crashed into the building 25 years ago, leaving no survivors above the 91st floor. The 38-year-old artist's remains were never recovered from Ground Zero, but his voice reverberates through time with the survival of his prescient, incisive sculptures that link aviation to Black freedom.In acknowledgment of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the Brooklyn Museum has installed “Free F'All” (1997), the only work by Richards in its collection, in the lobby for public display. “Richards's career was cut so short, so it's...

building a home in the virtual world
 
Before exploring a virtual world, players start by building a house. In Minecraft, the first night can mean quickly putting together a shelter from whatever is nearby, while in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, players arrive on an empty island and slowly fill it with houses, gardens, paths, and furniture. In The Sims, building and arranging a home has always been part of the game. Different games, same habit: make a place, then come back to it. As games have become larger and more social, those places have taken on a life of their own. Players spend hours decorating houses, meeting friends, hosting events, or simply hanging around. In some VR worlds, people even sleep...

Olivia Wilde plays Erika Tracy, a contemporary art superstar-slash-sociopath (is there a difference?) in the super-fucked-up love story that is I Want Your Sex (2026) — and “fuck” is an operative word in this movie, because she’s also a dominatrix. Cooper Hoffman, playing Elliott, her schlubby and somehow-already-balding 23-year-old gallery assistant, becomes her plaything; “consent” here is both sexual and artistic (and both, I ought to warn you, are violated). It’s a caricature of the art world more than an actually incisive critique — "You know I hate criticism, especially when it’s accurate,” Erika breezes at one point. But it’s definitely funner that way, with hilarious but...

LONDON — Tschabalala Self’s “Lady in Blue” was unveiled today as the latest sculpture for the Fourth Plinth on Trafalgar Square in London, perhaps the most famous public art commission in the United Kingdom. At nearly 17 feet tall, donning a glamorous turquoise dress and statement jewelry as she takes a purposeful step forward, the towering figure is Self’s largest sculpture to date.Born and based in New York, Self is best known for her joyful depictions of Black women rendered in paint, fabric, and collage elements. Fabricated from bronze, her Fourth Plinth sculpture is patinated with Lapis Lazuli, a vibrant blue pigment made by grinding the semi-precious stone. Prized since antiquity, the color...

Reworking a 1960s Madrid apartment around everyday use
 
Located in Madrid’s Imperial neighborhood, this 48-sqm apartment was renovated by Alessio Lamarca and Marta Ciabattini around the everyday routines of its future occupant. Instead of beginning with a predetermined aesthetic, the architects considered how the home would actually be used: where bags are placed on arrival, how the kitchen is used, where time is spent, and which spaces and objects are part of daily life. The approach informed both the layout and the scale of individual elements. The original apartment had three bedrooms, a living room, a separate kitchen, and one bathroom. Its condition had remained largely unchanged since the 1960s, with...

In Mesoamerican folklore, the jaguar is a prominent nagual, a being with the power to morph into an animal. Moving from one realm into another allows this hybrid creature to act as a spiritual guide through unknown territories. For Anna Ortiz, the jaguar is also a fitting metaphor for entering into a mythic borderland. Drawing on her Mexican-American heritage, the artist renders remote landscapes through limited, yet vibrant palettes. Ortiz favors subtle shifts in tone and saturation, painting jungle terrain in shades of blues, greens, and pinks. The focused palette emphasizes the fantastic world we’ve entered into, one that appears variable and as a manifestation of myth. “Inundada” In her new body of...

The Black Schoolhouse takes shape in New Orleans’ Seventh Ward
 
The Black School has created The Black Schoolhouse, a 185.8-square-meter community arts center in New Orleans’ historic Seventh Ward that brings creative education, cultural exchange, and neighborhood resources together under one roof. Located at 1660 N. Roman Street, the center is shaped by an 18-month design process with local residents and incorporates climate-resilient strategies alongside references to Black architectural traditions and local cultural memory. The Schoolhouse is scheduled to open to the public on October 10th, 2026, marking The Black School’s 10th anniversary.

Maurizio Cattelan, the provocateur sculptor famed for duct-taping a banana to a wall and calling it art, has returned with his latest exhibition, a much-hyped show at Berlin’s Neue Nationgalerie. It’s billed as a survey, but in typical form for Cattelan, who once did a Guggenheim Museum retrospective in which many of his sculptures were strung together and hung in the center of the rotunda, the exhibition is something funkier than that. The genesis of the show is equally funky. Cattelan, who was born in Padua, Italy, and is now based between New York and Milan, is this year’s winner of the Preis der Nationalgalerie, an award that has historically gone to artists with some connection to Berlin. That makes...

The historic voyage of the Bayeux Tapestry to London’s British Museum has been a popular sensation, with VIPs like the UK’s King Charles and French president Emmanuel Macron attending a reception to welcome the famed 11th-century embroidery. Tens of thousands of people vied for tickets. The fragile artwork was allowed to travel only after the French supreme court tore up a lawsuit aiming to stop the loan and a painstaking French study said it would be safe to undertake the trip. It has now emerged that Belarus-born billionaire Igor Tulchinsky, who supported the history-making voyage, to the tune of £5 million ($6.8 million), according to Middle East Eye, also supported a yurt in a community center in...

What may be the largest ancient Roman wall mosaic ever found has been open to the public for limited viewing. Roberto Gualtieri, the mayor of Rome, unveiled the 1st-century CE mosaic, along with a fresco discovered at the same time, in the city this week. The artworks were first identified during excavations in the 1990s at the Baths of Trajan, located on Oppio Hill near the Colosseum, but never fully uncovered until now. Dedicated by Roman emperor Trajan in 109 CE, the baths were an enormous leisure complex that extended over 15 acres and featured areas for cultural activities and sports as well as bathing pools. Occupying an underground gallery beneath the baths, the mosaic measures 33 feet high and over 50...

A decade ago or so, parents were finding loom bands in the couch cushions and underfoot during a craze for the analog toys. Kids made bracelets and other items, and in the vein of LEGO and other build-your-own entertainment, YouTube creators provided tutorials for elaborate projects. The toy fad may have waned, but for artist Hannah Beuchler, the small, colorful rubber bands proved an accessible material for an inventive application. At a glance, Beuchler’s works appear like expressionist paintings, with gestural brushstrokes and carefully chosen colors. But our senses are piqued by the unusual texture, and upon closer inspection, we observe thousands of loom bands in vibrant relief. Loom band detail...

I bordi della fotografia coincidono con gli infissi di una finestra divisa in sei quadri. La finestra è aperta su un paesaggio coperto di un velo spesso di bruma, sotto il quale si distinguono i contorni soffusi e mesti di un complesso industriale. Sul luogo dello scatto, quella bruma la chiamano caìgo: una veste di umidità impenetrabile, che aggiudica al paesaggio l’aspetto di una residenza di fantasmi. Sul luogo dello scatto, in effetti, non c’è nessuno. Nel 1997 quando Vincenzo Castella realizzava #3205 Venezia Marghera, il complesso petrolchimico di Porto Marghera già s’avviava alla dismissione. Di quel luogo restano solo un lungo commiato silenzioso e nostalgia densa al punto del visibile....

As deep swells from an offshore hurricane were further empowered by king tides in Southern California over the past several days, residents experienced firsthand the impacts of human-generated climate change. Erosion is an innate process along coastlines, where waves and wind constantly shift the sand and gnaw away at bluffs. Infrastructure projects and residential development over the last several decades have also meant changes to the natural coastline, and beaches are regularly refilled with tons upon tons of sand. Even so, in just a couple of days, some of the region’s beaches virtually disappeared. This example is just one in an increasing array of low-lying places where our oceans, which continue to...

Although Karla Wong has always been passionate about drawing, it was her degree in law that ultimately spurred her current practice. The Mexican artist spent her adolescent and early adult years in Oaxaca, where she attended university and eventually became a forensic and witness sketch artist for the local justice department. Rendering a figure’s likeness based solely on a description is a deeply imaginative process and one that continues to inform the artist’s practice today. In Journeys of Being on view now at Chicago’s Intuit Art Museum, Wong presents a vibrant body of work that entwines her Oaxacan roots with her Chinese heritage and experiences as a trans woman living between the U.S. and Mexico....

Although there’s no official count, the amount of World War II bunkers, battery platforms, defensive bollards, and other structures found along European coastlines probably number in the tens of thousands. Bunkers were typically made of concrete, and several thousand are located along what’s known as the Atlantic Wall, an extensive coastal network of defenses built by the Nazis between 1942 and 1944 in anticipation of attacks by Allied forces. Disused now for decades, they’re a blight on the landscape, but one that The Wa sees as a blank canvas for something much more playful and bright. In his series A Kid Could Do It, The Wa transforms otherwise nondescript structures into jubilantly youthful drawings,...

Aby Warburg chiamava Nachleben – sopravvivenza – quel fenomeno per cui certe forme, certi gesti, certe configurazioni visive non muoiono mai del tutto: riemergono a distanza di secoli, migrano da un contesto all’altro, si reincarnano in immagini in apparenza estranee alla loro origine, portando con sé una carica energetica che il tempo non riesce a disinnescare. È a questo concetto, tanto seducente quanto elusivo, che la nona edizione di Grenze – Festival Internazionale di Fotografia e Arti Visive aggancia il proprio progetto, in programma a Verona dal 18 settembre al 18 ottobre 2026 a cura di Simone Azzoni e Francesca Marra.

Ci sono luoghi che sembrano appartenerci prima ancora di essere stati abitati. Li riconosciamo nella disposizione di una finestra, nella luce che attraversa una stanza, nella presenza di un tappeto o di un vaso di fiori. Qualcosa in quelle forme precede il ricordo e lo fa affiorare senza consegnargli un’immagine precisa. I dipinti di Quentin James McCaffrey nascono dentro questa zona incerta, dove familiarità ed estraneità si incontrano e ogni ambiente custodisce la traccia di un’esperienza possibile.

C’è un’accezione dell’interferenza che il senso comune tende a scartare, bollandola come rumore da eliminare: quella, di matrice fisico-ingegneristica, per cui due segnali quando si incontrano invece di sommarsi generano un terzo pattern imprevisto, che non apparteneva a nessuno dei due.
