In a world not so unlike our own, during a time not that long ago, a mother wolf sits comfortably upon an abandoned tree stump in a clearing in the woods. Surrounded by carefully rendered flora and fauna, the creature is positioned upright with impeccable posture and human-like mannerisms. Her hind legs are crossed at […]

Devon Booker, a five-time All Star guard for the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, has visited James Turrell’s fabled Roden Crater three times—and even struck up something of a friendship with an artist who called him an “amazing person … taking it to another level, and that’s what all artists try to do.” As reported in a lengthy profile in The Athletic, the sports section of the New York Times, Booker first traveled to Roden Crater in 2020, when he was first rapt by an artwork in a dormant volcano that Turrell has been toiling away at for more than 50 years. Booker has also been talking about an imminent visit with teammate Steph Curry (“who recently purchased a piece by Turrell”), and even designed a...

Artists Christian Rebecchi and Pablo Togni, who work as NEVERCREW, have a knack for bringing the immensity of nature to developed urban spaces. Their colorful, large-scale murals take a playful tack when it comes to portraying animals, often merging them with other objects such as instant photos or, most recently, a plastic punch-out toy. “Souvenir,” completed this year in Vienna, combines motifs of a large bear with other Arctic components, such as icebergs, a seabird, and a steamship. “The natural environment appears transformed, filtered, made artificial: it is no longer a space experienced through relationship, but a distant construction,” the artists say in a statement. The work is “almost a...

The Temple of Dendur, an ancient Egyptian structure that counts among the most beloved attractions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will this summer host an exhibition of sculptures by the Swiss modernist Alberto Giacometti—a rarity, since the Temple of Dendur does not often act as a space for shows of any kind. The exhibition, simply titled “Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur,” is a small one, with just 17 of the artist’s sculptures. Fourteen of them belong to the Fondation Giacometti, while the rest come from the Met’s collection. But it is being touted as a major occasion by the Met, whose wing for modern art is currently closed while it undergoes a renovation and expansion. The exhibition also...

A vast concrete beauty that has been 20 years in the making is opening on 19 April, aiming to serve the local community and provide a welcoming focal point for the Los Angeles area

Time magazine has released the 2026 edition of its “most influential” list, spanning leaders and notable figures in politics, sport, technology, fashion, medicine, and many other fields. Included this year are artist Cao Fei and photojournalist Lynsey Addario. Founded in 1923, Time published its first “most influential” list in 1999. “There is no single metric that defines influence,” writes editor in chief Sam Jacobs. “Our selections are led by the stories that are shaping the world each year and the people who write them. Some are well known to many, others only within their fields. To find them, we poll our editors, reporters, and sources around the world, and review the recommendations that...

A 58-year-old Paris-based engineer named Ari Hodara bought a raffle ticket on a whim, and ended up winning a gouache-on-paper painting by Picasso a few days later. The 1941 painting, Head of a Woman, is a portrait of the French artist’s lover and muse Dora Maar, an artist in her own right who was frequently painted by Picasso. Before Hodara, the portrait was owned by Opera Gallery, an international operation with branches in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the U.S. The gallery sold 120,000 tickets for 100 euros (about $110) each, to hopeful art enthusiasts around the world. The first 1 million euros ($1.2 million) raised went to Opera Gallery, with the rest being donated to the Fondation Recherche...

hermès frames time as theater at Watches and Wonders 2026
 
At Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, Hermès frames time as a performative medium, staging its latest horological releases within a kinetic scenography by Jean-Simon Roch. Conceived as a mobile installation where watchmaking mechanics interact with theatrical machinery, the project positions movement as narrative. Within this shifting environment, the maison unveils three new skeleton timepieces: Hermès H08 Squelette, Arceau Samarcande, and Slim d’Hermès Squelette Lune, each exposing its inner workings like apertures into a hidden temporal world.
 
Composer Pierre Ronin scores a soundscape that animates the scenography, transforming it into a...

Erewhon, the iconic LA grocery store known for its $20-plus smoothies, will soon open at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as part of a new partnership. LACMA is currently preparing to open its new, Peter Zumthor–design building, officially called the David Geffen Galleries, this spring, with members getting access beginning April 19 and the public opening coming on May 4. Erewhon will similarly have its opening timed to the new building, with members getting early access ahead of the café’s public debut. It’s unclear if the Erewhon pop-up is only temporary—a press release says it will “be available through the summer”—or if the grocery store is testing the waters to see if it will be...

A joint letter, published by the Society for Iranian Archaeology, condemns the “irreversible damage” to cultural sites caused by US-Israeli missile strikes

My first encounter with Rama Duwaji's art was while waiting in line for the restroom at the Levantine bistro Huda in East Williamsburg back in 2024. It took me a second to realize that I was looking at an NYC-mandated first-aid poster, transformed into a stunning artwork in what I can now recognize as Duwaji's signature style.The Texas-born, Syrian-American artist has created illustrations and animations for the New Yorker, Tate Modern, and BBC, among other outlets and institutions. Last November, Duwaji became a household name after her husband, Zohran Mamdani, swept the New York City mayoral race in a historic victory that inspired and delighted millions. A private person by nature, she was...

Where the blue sky breaks through the tree canopy or light reflects onto the surface of a pond, illustrator Masha Foya summons moments of joy and surprise. The Kyiv-based artist’s dreamlike illustrations often portray spaces and individuals in emotional or experiential states, as if the entire environment morphs into a single living being. Hands clasp over the arc of a foliage tunnel, for example, and a plane sails through an aperture shaped like a bird in flight. Seemingly enclosed spaces often converge with the sky or the cosmos, alluding to the boundlessness of imagination and feeling. The work shown here comprises both personal and commissioned projects. Foya is currently working on developing a number...

KAN series Explores Tactile Interaction and Bodily Awareness
 
KAN is a series of three handheld objects by designer Amit Hadar that explores the relationship between material, body, and attention. Each piece is scaled to the palm and is designed to support simple actions such as holding, rotating, or resting. Through these interactions, the objects emphasize tactile awareness and physical engagement.
 
The project is structured around three moments: cooling, movement, and weight. These correspond to different modes of interaction, awakening, refocusing, and grounding, forming a sequence of use that unfolds through direct contact rather than prescribed function.
 
KAN proposes an approach to object design...

La Belle Êpqoue – French for Beautiful Era – conjures up images of glittering theatres, excessive parties and flowing champagne. The term defines the years before WWI, when France experienced a period of economic growth that produced a wealth of artistic and cultural developments. In 1913, Galeries Lafayette unveiled its flagship department store, whilst architect Auguste Perret completed the Theatre des Champs-Elysees. The country was the world’s biggest exporter of cars, as well as leading the way in the skies, with Bleriot crossing the channel in 1908. Names like Gaumont and Pathe drove the flourishing cinematic industry forwards, whilst Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque captured this rapid...

a room, a body, a set of instructions: the birth of the happening
 
Allan Kaprow dissolves the art object in the late 1950s, replacing it with an event, a room, a body, a set of instructions, and the irreducible friction between them. His ‘happening,’ first staged in 1959 at New York’s Reuben Gallery as 18 Happenings in 6 Parts, divides the space into three rooms separated by semi-transparent plastic sheets, where painters, performers, and slide projections operate at the same time, and where participants receive instruction cards telling them when to move, sit, or applaud. The ninety-minute work refuses plot, symbol, and the passive act of looking, proposing instead a ‘plastic composition’ in time...

GAGGENAU AT MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2026
 
During Milan Design Week 2026, Gaggenau celebrates ‘Presence’ — a refined architectural installation set within the historic grounds of Villa Necchi Campiglio. Marking the third chapter following A Statement of Form (2022) and The Elevation of Gravity (2024), the installation draws visitors inward from the outside, sharpening perception and quieting distraction through a sequence of spaces shaped by light, material, and proportion, inviting them to experience the brand without explanation.

Francesca Woodman’s (1958–1981) photographic career spanned less than a decade. Yet, during that time, she created some of the best-known self-portraits of the 20th century. The majority of Woodman’s scenes unfold within empty interior spaces, illuminated by shafts of natural light or mirrored surfaces. The artist is usually the sole subject; sometimes she appears nude, other times clothed or shrouded. She might be partially hidden by furniture, appear to be suspended in a doorframe, or lie on the ground. “Haunting” is one of the words most-used to describe her images: they are often blurred, employing long exposure techniques and a black-and-white palette. Woodman operated on both sides of the...

La trentesima edizione Miart si trasferisce nella nuova sede della South Wing di Allianz MiCo, e si svolgerà dal 17 al 19 aprile 2026 con la direzione di Nicola Ricciardi. Con 160 gallerie provenienti da 24 Paesi la fiera si svilupperà su tre piani con importanti ritorni e significativi nuovi ingressi di gallerie internazionali. New Directions, il titolo di questa edizione è un evidente omaggio al celebre album del 1963 del musicista statunitense John Coltrane (1926-1967). Speriamo quindi che questa premessa sia di buon auspicio e che si riusciranno a trovare quelle indicazioni di novità che possano rispondere ai tempi complessi che stiamo vivendo.

Mexican artist Elina Chauvet stands with her installation “Zapatos Rojos” (2009–) (photo courtesy the artist)How should credit be given when an art practice elevates an ordinary object into a globally understood symbol? Mexican artist Elina Chauvet, best known for her public stagings of “Zapatos Rojos (Red Shoes)” (2009–) addressing femicide and gender-based violence in Mexico, says that the project was reproduced in Bucharest last month without her knowledge or name. “Zapatos Rojos” takes the form of dozens or hundreds of pairs of red shoes publicly displayed in site-specific formations. Each pair of shoes connotes the absence of a femicide victim, or a disappeared woman or girl. Chauvet began...

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art will welcome the public to its brand-new David Geffen Galleries on May 4, with members able to get a gander beginning April 19.

In a letter reviewed by the Italian publication la Repubblica, the European Commission (EC) has accused the Venice Biennale of violating EU sanctions against Russia, Artnews reports.

For millennia, humans have navigated seas, rivers, and oceans as avenues for trade, exploration, conquest, and colonization. During the Age of Discovery—an era interwoven with what’s known as the Age of Sail—European explorers and traders embarked on journeys around the world to map previously uncharted continents, trade commodities, and establish new socio-political outposts. Imperial forces competed with one another to control as much as they could, all in the name of wealth and power, and individual landowners and traders profited immensely. But sustaining a presence in far-flung places would never have been remotely possible, nevertheless successful, without slavery. Well into the 19th century,...

Silla stele fragments GYEONGJU, SOUTH KOREA—Korea JoongAng Daily reports that an inscribed fragment of stone discovered in 1937 at the Wolseong Palace in southeastern South Korea—and another, larger fragment discovered in 2020—belong to the same stele. The smaller fragment, found in the western section of the palace, has been housed at the Gyeongju National Museum. The second fragment was also uncovered in the western section of the palace, in a water-filled protective ditch. Analysis of the stones showed that they are both alkali granite quarried from Namsan Mountain in Gyeongju. Researchers fit the pieces together digitally using detailed 3D scans. The fragments are thought to have come from the center...

Excavation of Roman aqueduct, Rusovce, Slovakia BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA—The Slovak Spectator reports that a second Roman aqueduct was discovered in the Rusovce section of southern Bratislava during renovations at the Rusovce Chateau. A Roman camp housing some 1,000 soldiers stood on the site from the second century to the fourth century A.D. “We can now speak of a higher standard of living for the Romans who lived in the camp in the second century,” said Erik Hrnčiarik of Trnava University. “Until now, we believed they lived in much simpler conditions. The second aqueduct proves that there were permanent buildings made of stone and brick around the camp,” he explained. The aqueduct carried water from...

Stele engraved with depiction of Tiberius and the gods Amun, Mut, and Khonsu LUXOR, EGYPT—Restoration work on a gate to the north of the Karnak temple complex has uncovered a 2,000-year-old stele depicting the Roman emperor Tiberius, according to a Live Science report. The emperor, who ruled from A.D. 14 to 37, is shown with the Egyptian deities Amun, Mut, and Khonsu as a representation of his power and legitimacy. Egyptologist Abdelghaffar Wagdy of Luxor’s Department of Antiquities and the Egyptian-French Archaeological Center explained that as ruler of the Roman province of Egypt, Tiberius was responsible for maintaining what the Egyptians called maat, or divine order. “To fulfill this role, the ruler...

In the mid-20th century, before preservation efforts revived Miami’s Art Deco South Beach neighborhood with bright colors and lavish hotels, the area was a whitewashed holiday haven for retirees. And in a third-floor room of the Colony Hotel, which looked out onto the building’s marquee and the street below, a unique artistic endeavor unfolded. Ukrainian artist Jonko “George” Voronovsky (1903-1982) transformed his humble, long-term residence into a vibrant environment of paintings and objects that he described as “memoryscapes.” Having endured incredible hardship amid the political maneuvers of the U.S.S.R. and the Nazis during the 1930s and 1940s, he chose to work in a bright, optimistic style...

Gli studenti hanno sviluppato narrazioni in cui globale e personale si intersecano, per fornire un racconto del...

«Tutti gli artisti sono uguali, sognano di fare qualcosa di più sociale, più collaborativo e più reale dell’arte». (Dan Graham)
Alter Peckham, “Everything Then is Now” exhibition, 2025, London, United Kingdom, courtesy Spira9
Negli ultimi anni, la geografia dell’arte contemporanea è stata sempre più definita da un numero limitato di sedi istituzionali. Sebbene i principali musei, gallerie e biennali continuino a svolgere un ruolo essenziale nel plasmare il discorso artistico, la concentrazione delle opportunità espositive all’interno di queste strutture ha gradualmente ristretto la gamma di contesti attraverso i quali l’arte può apparire e circolare. La piattaforma curatoriale Othering,...

Amid groves of trees, meadows, and aging infrastructure, Cinga Samson’s dreamlike tableaux are bathed in eerie light, as if spotlit or illuminated by the moon. The South African artist is known for his use of deep, dark pigments such as carbon black and Prussian blue, complemented by the occasional teal or purple and pops of bright white in t-shirts or sneakers. His figures, engaged in enigmatic activities, look on with spectral, all-white eyes. Green and brown foliage camouflages individuals who gather in fields, sort through mysterious items, and appear to converge with other beings like large birds. The work seen here is currently on view in the artist’s solo exhibition at White Cube called...

Digital reconstruction of hypothesized polybolos bolt impacts AVERSA, ITALY—The polybolos has long been a legendary weapon of Roman military might, both in the sense that it could inflict tremendous damage and that it may never have existed. But archaeologists and engineers from the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli and the University of Bologna have identified ancient artillery holes that they believe correspond to shots from the device, according to a Diario AS report. The polybolos, literally “multiple thrower,” was a chain-driven freestanding catapult that fired metal-tipped bolts from a magazine in quick-repeating succession, automatically, according to a description by Philo of Byzantium, a...

This Illustration shows a European pond turtle crawling next to the foot of a European straight-tusked elephant. NEUMARK-NORD, GERMANY—A new analysis of turtle shell fragments unearthed at the Paleolithic site of Neumark-Nord in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt suggests Neanderthals regularly hunted the diminutive European pond turtle. A team led by archaeologist Sabine Gaudzinski-Windheuser from the Institute for Ancient Studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz analyzed 92 turtle shell fragments from the site dating back 125,000 years, and found evidence that the turtles had been butchered and their shells cleaned. The team suspects Neanderthals did not eat the turtles, which grow to be no longer...

In 1912, André Breton published his Surrealist Manifesto. The work described Surrealism as “pure psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, the real functioning of thought. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason, outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation.” It was a statement that came to define a moment that, one hundred years later, continues to play a defining role in contemporary art. To consider Surrealism is to conjure up names like Breton, Salvador Salí or René Magritte, but many female artists pushed the artform forward in ways that have long been overlooked. VISU Contemporary, in Miami...

David Bowie (1947-2016) is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. This spring, a major new immersive experience dedicated to him is opening at London’s Lightroom, in close collaboration with the Bowie Estate. The 360° show – titled You’re Not Alone – promises to transport visitors inside the artist’s “iconic performances and creative mind”. From Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs, Heroes and ★, You’re Not Alone offers audiences the opportunity “to feel they have travelled through time to experience Bowie up close and first-hand.” But this is not about perpetuating the myths or characters often associated with Bowie, like Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack,...

C’è qualcosa di inevitabile nel modo in cui un corpo cade. Nel modo in cui una caviglia cede, devia, costringe l’intero sistema a riorganizzarsi. È da questa immagine semplice, fisica, quasi banale che Carlos Antonio Castro Lobato costruisce la sua prima personale italiana, Tobillo Torcido (Caviglia storta), ospitata fino al 29 aprile 2026 negli spazi di terzospazio a cura di Giulia Mariachiara Galiano. L’artista messicano, classe 2003, in residenza presso la Fondazione Bevilacqua la Masa di Venezia, porta in mostra tre opere che insieme compongono un discorso in cui narrazione autobiografica e riflessione collettiva non si escludono ma si alimentano a vicenda. Non un percorso, non un sistema, ma un...

Un sottile raggio di luce diafana attraversa l’intera stanza, accarezzando ogni piccolo dettaglio racchiuso nelle opere di Alessandro Piangiamore (Enna, 1976). “La polvere ci mostra che la luce esiste”, il titolo della mostra allestita alla Repetto Gallery di Lugano, rimanda a un capitolo contenuto all’interno del saggio del filosofo francese Georges Didi-Huberman “La conoscenza accidentale. Apparizione e sparizione delle immagini” (2011). L’esposizione, visitabile sino al 26 giugno 2026, presenta una selezione multimediale dei lavori dell’artista, alcuni dei quali inediti, che comprende sculture, installazioni e video art. Nel loro insieme essi sono inseriti con l’intenzione di conferire...

By Kristine Schomaker The work hits immediately. Not one piece — all of it, simultaneously. Large sculptural assemblages covering the walls, a freestanding sculpture in the middle of the room, a piece suspended from the ceiling.

Last night, four humans splashed down in the Pacific Ocean after flying around the Moon for the first time in more than fifty years. Artemis II...
