The iconic aboveground space at the Lincoln Memorial is accompanied by lesser-known environs beneath—in the form of an “undercroft” being transformed into a 15,000-square-foot exhibition space scheduled to open next month with a show related to the memorial’s creation and the legacy of Abraham Lincoln himself. As reported by Artnet News, “A decade on from the National Park Service (NPS) announcing plans to transform the cavernous space beneath the Lincoln Memorial into a museum, tickets for the newest attraction on the National Mall have gone on sale ahead of its opening on June 25, in time for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Tickets for large tours of the undercroft...

You’ve heard of Johannes Vermeer’s ca. 1665 painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, long housed at the Mauritshuis in the Hague and soon to visit Japan this summer. Now, prepare for the latest art history–inspired sensation. Call it Miffy with a Pearl Earring. Unfortunately for him, Vermeer died in 1675, well before Miffy came into being, but the Dutch Old Master has lent his mark to these plush toys, with his Girl with a Pearl Earring now spawning one adorned with a glowing bauble, a turban, and a brown dress à la the outfit worn by the young woman in that famed painting. This week, the Vermeer-influenced rabbit toy went viral on X, where users can’t stop expressing their admiration for it. This Miffy...

The British Museum pushed back a planned lecture called “The Ancient History of Israel and Judah,” claiming that a “significant proportion” of the people expected to attend wanted to protest the event. The London museum announced the postponement on Thursday, in a release that noted that the event was part of Jewish Culture Month but did not state the name or subject of the lecture. Then, on Friday, the museum said that “The Ancient History of Israel and Judah” would now take place “early next month,” without a date specified. The reason for the delay, the museum said on Thursday, was that many attendees allegedly sought to “deliberately disrupt the event, preventing others from participating...

Some of the most exciting designs emerging from the world of sustainable fashion are those utilizing uncommon materials. There are gowns sculpted with grass roots, sequins made from algae, and electrical wires woven into lace. Now, researchers and designers at Aalto University can add another unusual substance to that list: the remains of a 300-year-old wooden shipwreck. In 2019, a hotel in the Finnish city of Oulu undertook renovations that uncovered a 17th-century vessel buried beneath a parking lot. Called the Hahtiperä wreck, the finding was the oldest of its kind in this region, prompting conservators to raise the seven-by-20-meter ship for preservation. A few fragments remained, though, and researchers...

A Crafted Shelter emerges from japanese island for NOT A HOTEl
 
V Taller proposes A Crafted Shelter, a retreat embedded within the primordial landscape of Yakushima, Japan, for the 2026 NOT A HOTEL Design Competition. The team conceives this project as an extension of the dense forests, persistent rainfall, and exposed geological formations that characterize the island. Drawing from Yakushima’s monumental rock outcrops and layered terrain, the proposal rises from a stone plinth that appears to grow directly from the site.
 
The project is organized around a monolithic stone core that anchors the structure while defining its spatial sequence. Carved within this weight-bearing volume, a circular staircase...

At Lisa Yuskavage’s solo show at David Zwirner, New York, a stunning display of the artist’s painted and mixed-media work fill the space with pieces ranging from sprawling triptychs to bite-sized compositions. Looking at the collection all together, dotting the walls in shocks of pink and green, it looks as though Yuskavage has produced in each canvas, a zone of contemplation over the fundamental elements of the craft itself.

Emiline Smith brings us into the pages of a new book about the criminal network that supplied and transported these works — as well as the museum professionals and scholars who enabled it. You might not have known that midcentury minimalist Frank Stella held a breathtaking collection of textiles made by Diné women — now on view for the first time on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — but take a look at their bold color and striking geometric patterns, and it’ll click.

Opening on 21 June, Directionless unfolds as a sweeping artist-led exhibition across Hauser & Wirth Menorca and the island landscape of Illa del Rei. Disorientation sits at the centre of the project, shaping both structure and tone. Contemporary practice is framed as a way of moving through instability rather than resolving it. The island becomes a field where architecture, coastline and light reconfigure perception. Meaning forms through proximity between works, site and viewer rather than through a fixed narrative. The exhibition is organised by Rashid Johnson, an American artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, film and installation, and who is widely recognised for his...

At the center of Matthew Campbell’s The Man Who Stole the Gods (2026)is British dealer Douglas Latchford, accused of trafficking looted Cambodian antiquities on a massive scale before his death in 2020. To Latchford, Khmer sculpture was a luxury asset to be exploited, an “intense hobby” that turned into “a real business.” Latchford’s success depended not just on criminal networks that supplied and transported these objects, but on the willingness of museums, dealers, collectors, and scholars to accept fragmented or problematic provenance so long as the objects themselves retained the aura of rarity and beauty. Statues were decapitated and dismembered, stripped from their sanctuaries, yet somehow...

But nor can buildings be fully understood in ignorance, willful or otherwise, of the circumstances of their designing. “When the abuser is a publicly known, creative person, there is an added layer of complication,” wrote Daniela Soleri in the 2017 Medium essay in which she alleged a longtime pattern of abuse perpetrated by her...

At this year’s Venice Biennale, the performance artist and choreographer Florentina Holzinger used the stage of the Austria Pavilion to alert viewers to an increasingly underwater dystopia. Seaworld Venice issued a dire warning of the flood to come: an underwater amusement park and a circling jet-ski signaled ecological catastrophe driven by turbo-tourism, while a group of performers climbed an enormous weathervane as a testament to the strength of collective action, and a performer lived in a reconstructed sewer treatment plant, in a tank sustained by body fluids contributed by the audience.⁠ It was, certainly, among the most talked about pavilions at this year’s Biennale. On May 23, still sopping from...

Layers of colored pencil and marble dust worked into an oil-like substance flood the linen planes on which Marin Majic works. The Brooklyn-based artist builds upon a foundational drawing, blending various media into a richly textured surface resembling fabric or plaster. Matte finishes radiate across the scenes, appearing like magical glimmers under a night sky. Steeped in mystery, Majic’s works gravitate toward questions of power, impermanence, and the slippery nature of reality. Figures are often alone, whether swimming solo or driving along a mountain pass with no other cars in sight. Insects and animals are similar, although in pieces like “Negative attention,” we’re witness to the demise of the...

He explained that he was going to transform the gallery into a room by painting a sofa, plant, cocktail table, standing lamp, and other pieces of furniture and decoration onto the walls. While Humphrey’s casual, playful setting did not make the actual works on paper better or worse, it did do something unexpected: It made this viewer rethink the paintings I had looked at in his studio, the...

VINEYARD HAVEN, MASSACHUSETTS—The Vineyard Gazette reports that objects held at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum will be returned to Hui Iwi Kuamo’o, a repatriation organization in Hawaii. The objects include a canoe and a poi pounder donated to the museum by a collector in 1941, and a grass skirt and tapa cloth acquired by a whaler who brought them to Martha’s Vineyard around 1870. These items were eventually donated to the museum in 1956. The museum listed the items for potential repatriation after the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed in 1990. Hui Iwi Kuamo’o placed a request for the objects last year, after changes to NAGPRA simplified the return process....

Cast iron casket discovered on the ridge of the Asylum Hill excavation site JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI—According to a WAPT report, more than 1,000 graves have been found at the site of the Mississippi State Lunatic Asylum since the cemetery was discovered in 2013 on the grounds of the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). In all, the cemetery held an estimated 7,000 graves. “We have a few bone fragments, a few teeth, and the nails from the wooden coffins,” said archaeologist Jennifer Mack. “Every single person buried here was in his or her own coffin and in [their] own grave, and they were lined up neatly,” she added.

KUUSAMO, FINLAND—According to a statement released by the University of Turku, researchers from the University of Turku, including Sanni Peltola and Ulla Nordfors, have analyzed the remains of a 40-year-old man who was buried near eastern Finland’s Lake Kitka at the turn of the seventeenth century. Discovered in the 1970s, the grave has been linked to Sámi cultural heritage. The Sámi live in northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and engage in coastal fishing, fur trapping, sheep herding, and reindeer herding. DNA extracted from the man’s teeth indicates that he is related to present-day and historical Sámi. Short DNA segments from his sample are also found in the larger population of Finland,...

Monochromatic in palette and surreal in subject matter, the individual works portray a variety of curious pairings from twin turtles with eyes nested into their shells to a bird speared by a spindly tree to a lily pad bursting from an open alligator jaw. “Each drawing took between 20 to 40 hours of focused work,” Mrozik writes. “I built every image in layers—starting with rough sketches, researching forms, refining the composition, and...

“Don’t you think it’s dangerous to blur the distinction between abstraction and reality?” asks actress Olivia Vinall in her role as the Surrealist artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917-2011). The heady line is one of the standout statements in the new biopic documenting Carrington’s life and work. Directed by Thor Klein and Lena Vurma and produced by Modern Films, Leonora in the Morning Light opens in 1930s Paris, when the artist was enmeshed in an avant-garde community that included luminaries like Salvador Dalí and André Breton, along with her partner Max Ernst. When World War II begins, Carrington flees to Spain before eventually re-settling in Mexico, perhaps the location most associated...

He collates abandoned slides, assembling what is now one of the largest private archives of analogue amateur photography in the world. The Anonymous Project began in 2017, when the artist bought a random box of vintage Kodachrome, and “completely fell in love with the people and stories he discovered in these unique windows into our past lives.” Shulman reanimates these personal documents, weaving them into narratives that explore memory, family, love and cultural shifts across generations. His motivation is a rescue mission: a conviction that these modest items hold something too valuable to be allowed to fade away. This summer,...

Christo (1935–2020) never treated space as neutral. Across a practice developed in tandem with Jeanne-Claude, he recast it as something provisional – something that could be tightened, sealed, withheld or briefly made strange. Born in Bulgaria and later based in Paris, his early years under political constraint shaped a lifelong interest in restriction as material condition. What might appear, at first glance, as acts of concealment were in fact acts of disclosure: buildings wrapped, coastlines interrupted, monuments turned temporarily unreadable. In each case, the familiar was not erased but delayed, forcing attention back onto the act of looking itself. The work did not sit in space so much as...

Across the global cultural landscape, the contemporary museum has entered a phase of expansion that is as much ideological as it is architectural. Openings in recent years have increasingly foregrounded decentralisation, permeability, and the collapse of rigid distinctions between archive, studio and public space. The announcement of Powerhouse Parramatta, opening in Sydney in late 2026, sits firmly within this recalibration. It is positioned as the most significant cultural infrastructure project in Australia since the Sydney Opera House, yet its ambitions are unmistakably global in tone. Rather than reinforcing institutional centrality, it participates in a wider rethinking of how museums might operate...
