Manoj Patel builds a farmhouse out of Reclaimed materials
Manoj Patel Design Studio has completed a farmhouse on the outskirts of Vadodara, Gujarat, India, positioned between expanding urban development and surrounding agricultural land. Set on a 30,000 sqft plot with a built-up area of 1,500 sqft, the project explores material efficiency, climatic responsiveness, and spatial openness within a rural context.
The design adopts sustainability as a structural and material strategy rather than a stylistic approach. Exposed brick, locally sourced stone, and recycled materials form the primary construction palette. Brick cavity walls integrate ground beams, where RCC slurry is poured within the cavities to...

Hungarian Conceptual artist Dóra Maurer, whose fascination with movement and change undergirded a diverse practice marked by bright hues, simple shapes, and uninhibited experimentation, died on February 14. She was eighty-eight. The Art Newspaper reported that her death was confirmed by Budapest’s Széchenyi Academy of Literature and Art, of which she had been president since 2017. Deeply respected in the […]
A new book by gestalten reveals how Japanese homes, understated yet radical, show that even the everyday can be transformed into something unexpected. A House in Japan: Lessons in Living explores how a thoughtfully designed home can fundamentally transform how we live. The featured houses prioritise clarity over excess, intent over display. They adapt to daily rhythms, whilst proposing fresh ways of living. The book is a showcase of unbridled creativity, from A Cat Tree House, which is a multi-level residence built around the perspective of the owners’ two cats, to Building Frame of the House, which sees seven floor plates stagger and float to create a single, fluid room. Aesthetica spoke to...
photographic scenes capture hand-built rooms by Seb Agnew
CUBES is a long-term photographic series, developed between 2018 and 2025 by Seb Agnew, composed of 27 hand-built miniature interior architectural environments. Structured across three interconnected chapters: CUBES I, CUBES II, and CUBES III, the project examines how spatial design reflects human presence, historical continuity, and technological systems.
Each image originates from a physically constructed model room built from scratch. Traditional model-making methods are combined with contemporary fabrication tools, including laser cutting and 3D printing. After construction, the miniature sets are carefully lit and photographed, then digitally...

For all his undeniable precision and discipline, I still find Toscanini’s tempi rushed and unyielding and his lack of rubato a chilly turnoff.
Con Niji hajimete arawaru: Appare il primo arcobaleno, lo spazio IE propone un confronto che si sottrae all’idea di dialogo come semplice accostamento. La mostra di Michelangelo Consani e Giovanni Ozzola si costruisce piuttosto come un campo di prossimità instabile, fatto di risonanze e disallineamenti, in cui le opere sembrano misurarsi con un tempo lento, quasi sospeso. L’immagine evocata dal calendario tradizionale giapponese – l’apparizione del primo arcobaleno – non allude a un evento spettacolare, ma a una soglia: un cambiamento minimo, percettibile solo a chi è disposto a sostare.

ROOVICE renovates 1960s wooden house in Kajiwara
ROOVICE has renovated a two-story wooden house from the 1960s in Kajiwara, a residential area in Kamakura, Japan. Designed for a creative couple and their two cats, the project prioritizes preservation and selective intervention, maintaining the existing character and proportions of the house while improving functionality.
The renovation began with the exterior, which was repainted in black. The entrance door and window frames were finished in the same tone to establish a cohesive facade. The intervention aimed to unify the appearance of the building while retaining its original form. Inside, the entrance preserves a distinctive original detail: a narrow...

Jasmine Little, a Los Angeles–based painter who made lush still lifes and etched ceramic vessels dense with historical references, has died at 41. La Loma, her Los Angeles gallery, announced her death on Friday. No cause of death was provided. In a statement, gallery owner Kirk Nelson, who worked with Little since 2019, described her as “a force of nature” and her work as “a reflection of her essence–at times tender, at times emotional, often naughty, always curious, and filled with wonder, beauty, pain–the whole astonishing rainbow of feeling, being.” “Even though I worked alongside her for years, I don’t know how this young artist from Joshua Tree sgraffito’d mythologies onto stone as if...
Znamy Się designs optical salon and clinic’s interior in Wrocław
Znamy Się design studio takes over the interior design of AUGA, an optical salon and specialist clinic in Wrocław, Poland. The concept is structured around the biological process of vision, translating the anatomy of the eye into spatial organization, material selection, and lighting design.
The project takes the human eye as its primary reference. The overall layout reflects the path of light as it travels through the eye, from cornea and lens to retina and neural transmission. This sequence is interpreted architecturally as a progression from the entrance area through the retail space and into the consulting rooms. The interior is...

San Diego Opera presents a strongly directed and cast revival of Il barbiere di Siviglia.
For Michael Pederson, happenstances of infrastructure, nature, and the urban landscape present endless opportunities for the imagination. His playful miniatures scale the stems of weeds, reimagine gaps in walls, and reinterpret coincidences. Tiny structures and signs draw our attention to marvels of nature, like the seven-centimeter-tall “Mount Paltry,” or invite viewers into mysterious realms beyond civilization. Tapping into everyday occurrences and impressions, Pederson transforms the mundane into moments of wonder and delight. If you’re in Seoul, see Pederson’s work in the show Room for Wonder at Groundseesaw until June 4.
Artists and photographers have always played with perception. They use cropping, extreme close-ups, motion blur, unusual lighting and digital manipulation to dissolve recognisable subjects into simple colour, texture and form. Practitioners throughout the 20th century, from Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy to Wolfgang Tillmans and Barbara Kasten, expand the medium’s traditional role as recording of reality. In this round-up, we spotlight five artists longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize, who join this illustrious list. Each one plays with materials and form to create mesmerising scenes of abstraction. David Parfitt Colour Correction (2024) David Parfitt is a London-based photographer whose commercial...
dongqi Design Reworks Three Structures into mixed-use complex
dongqi Design has transformed three existing structures in downtown Shanghai’s Jing’an District into a mixed-use complex integrating retail, exhibition, food and beverage, and office programs. The project reconfigures a three-story brick–concrete building facing the street to the north, an 8-meter-high former factory building, and a single-story brick-concrete structure to the south into an interconnected yet functionally distinct ensemble.
The northern three-story building accommodates a leisure area on the ground floor, with office spaces on the second and third levels. A dark gray external sunshade curtain system has been added to the...

Ramadan Mubarak and Happy Lunar New Year! For long, many in art, academia, and popular culture have trumpeted the Marquis de Sade as a symbol of poetic transgression against society's stiff mores. He was put on a high pedestal despite being a certified rapist who took orgiastic pleasure in hellish torture and abuse. Among his spiritual followers, so to speak, was one Jeffrey Epstein from Manhattan's Upper East Side. The latter had friends in high windows who celebrated him as a business and math guru with slightly eccentric taste in women. In a must-read essay by Ed Simon this week, he draws essential parallels between the morally corrupt aristocracies of then and now, and explains how the seeds of...
Portraiture has always carried an enduring authority, shaping how individuals are remembered and how communities understand themselves. To look at a face is to encounter a convergence of history, politics and desire, where visibility becomes a form of power. In a visual culture dominated by speed and repetition, the considered portrait still insists on slowness, presence and attention. It proposes recognition as an ethical act rather than a passive exchange. At its most potent, portraiture asks who is seen, who is excluded and who decides the terms of that visibility. These questions sit at the heart of Catherine Opie’s work. Catherine Opie is widely recognised as one of the most influential photographers of...
Nel cuore storico di Bologna, alla Galleria de’ Foscherari, la mostra Continental, personale di Eva Marisaldi, realizzata in collaborazione con Enrico Serotti e curata da Leonardo Regano, si presenta come un progetto che dichiara fin dall’inizio di non volersi concentrare sullo spazio territoriale o sui confini geografici europei e asiatici, ma piuttosto rivolge la sua attenzione «alla politica, alla storia e all’identità» di quella determinata area geografica. In questo senso, Marisaldi sembra muoversi lungo una traiettoria che richiama il pensiero di autori come Edward Said[1] o Homi Bhabha[2], per i quali i confini non sono linee precise che separano in modo netto, ma spazi di incontro.

South Africa has withdrawn its participation from the 2026 Venice Biennale following a months-long dispute over an artwork addressing Palestinian grief in Gaza.The move comes after the country's right-wing culture minister Gayton McKenzie scrapped a pavilion proposal by artist Gabrielle Goliath and curator Ingrid Masondo. An independent committee had selected the artist and curator in December to represent the country at the international art event. The two had proposed including a performance centering Gaza. Goliath and Masondo had planned to memorialize the lives of Gazans killed by the Israeli military, including the poet Hiba Abu Nada, as part of the ongoing performance series Elegy. The duo also...
The editors of The Siren have been thinking about the parallels between our current political moment and the dystopian world of George Orwell’s novel 1984 for quite a while, but the escalating efforts by the Trump Administration to wage war against immigrants and silence critics compelled us to devote our latest issue to highlighting those connections. After witnessing the killing, torture, and forced expulsion of immigrants by federal agents, as well as the execution of US citizens and the criminalization of activists, we have no choice but to conclude that Orwell’s "Hate Week" has arrived. We’ve done our best to bring the perspectives of those who are under attack, and who have survived totalitarian...
As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday amid attacks on civil liberties and marginalized communities, museums and galleries in the nation’s capital are opening exhibitions that question what it means to be an American. The National Gallery of Art presents 115 works in Dear America while other shows focus on individual artists such as Mary Cassatt and Nick Cave, all in the pursuit of exploring “Americanism” as a facet of education, expression, and aesthetics. Meanwhile, exhibitions like Making Their Mark at National Museum of Women in the Arts complicate the idea that “American” is a uniform, monolithic identity, instead critiquing it as a social, racial, and gendered...
2,000-year-old footprint, Lunan Bay, Scotland ABERDEEN, SCOTLAND—Erosion caused by storms at eastern Scotland’s Angus Beach revealed an ancient clay surface marked with the footprints of animals and barefooted humans, according to a statement released by the University of Aberdeen. Local dogwalkers spotted the markings in the clay and alerted council archaeologist Bruce Mann, who called in a team from the University of Aberdeen. “We knew we were dealing with a really rare site and that this discovery offered a unique snapshot in time—but it was also clear that the sea would soon take back what had so recently been revealed,” said team leader Kate Britton of the University of Aberdeen. The researchers...
Ashley Stewart Rödder, a director at Gagosian, died earlier this week at the age of 42 after battling a severe illness over the past several years, the gallery told ARTnews in an email Saturday. Stewart Rödder had served as a director at Gagosian since 2019, where she worked closely with artists, most notably Nathaniel Mary Quinn, Stanley Whitney, Titus Kaphar, and Deana Lawson. The gallery said she worked on numerous exhibitions across its locations in New York, Beverly Hills, Paris, London, and Athens. Stewart Rödder previously served as director of sales at Salon 94 for four years and held a variety of positions at David Zwirner over the course of seven years. In an emailed statement, dealer Larry...
On Thursday, President Donald Trump came one step closer to building his $400 million White House ballroom, when an arts commission packed with allies approved designs for the project. Instead of holding a preliminary vote, the Commission of Fine Arts bypassed the usual review process and gave its final approval of the proposal; this means it will not be subject to further review by the CFA. The seven-person commission voted six-to-zero in favor of the plans; the ballroom’s original architect James McCrery recused himself. The vote came despite mass opposition to the project, with the panel’s secretary Thomas Luebke saying during the meeting that he had received thousands of messages from concerned members...
Glenn Ligon, “Blue (for JB) #18” (2025), carbon ink and acrylic on torinoko paper (all photos Daria Simone Harper/Hyperallergic)I became acutely aware of my own body as I stepped into Hauser & Wirth on a particularly frigid afternoon in January and met a blast of that stifling, artificial warmth. Even as I was thawing out, a chill ran through me as I peered at a selection of works on paper by Glenn Ligon. I was swallowed up in the pits of blue.As my gaze cascaded over these resplendent works, I was drawn immediately to “Blue (for JB) #18” (2025). Made of carbon ink and acrylic layered atop a pulp-based torinoko paper, it is almost purely abstract, save for the faint outline of black letters blotting...
The area, known as a “graveyard of the Atlantic”, is the site of thousands of shipwrecks waiting to be discovered
You’ve probably heard the idiom, “the elephant in the room,” to describe when there’s some uncomfortable and obvious problem that no one is addressing—the kind of issue that feels as though it’s taking up all available space. But what if yet another megafauna came stampeding onto the scene? That’s where Berlin-based artist Itamar Gov’s large-scale installation comes in. The Rhinoceros in the Room is a towering, inflatable sculpture that fills a medieval church nave at Kunstmuseum Magdeburg in Germany. Gov draws inspiration from Renaissance engraver Albrecht Dürer’s iconic rhinoceros woodcut, which the artist created in 1515 without having ever seen one of the animals himself. His rendering...
As of press time, some 250 cultural figures from around the world have signed an open letter in support of Devyani Saltzman, the former director of London’s Barbican Centre. Saltzman left abruptly earlier this week, just a few weeks after Abigail Pogson was appointed chief executive. Notable signatories include artists John Akomfrah and Isaac Julien, filmmaker Mira Nair, curators Mark Sealy and Zoé Whitley, writers Salman Rushdie and Kiran Desai, and Saltzman was named director of arts and participation in February 2024, and was tasked with reimagining the future of the institution. Her mandate, according to a post on LinkedIn, was to build a “future-facing programme that reflects the complexity and...
Bard College has launched an “independent review” of its president’s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after newly released emails from the Department of Justice revealed close links between the two. The liberal arts college in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, made the announcement in a statement from its board of trustees on Thursday. The board said it had retained the outside law firm WilmerHale to review the email correspondence. The New York Times reported that Dr. Leon Botstein, the college’s president since 1975, had long maintained that his relationship with Epstein was strictly philanthropic, aimed at securing a sizable donation to bolster Bard’s flagging finances....
Excavation, Tel Aziz, Egypt MIT RAHINA, EGYPT—According to an Ahram Online report, an excavation conducted by a team of researchers from Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Peking University, and the Shandong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology has uncovered a limestone structure at the site of Tel Aziz that may have been part of a temple dedicated to King Apries of the 26th dynasty, who ruled from about 589 to 570 B.C. The site of Tel Aziz is located in what is thought to have been the center of the ancient city of Memphis. The site also yielded five headless sphinx statues, stone blocks inscribed with hieroglyphic texts dedicated to the god Ptah and cartouches of King Apries, pottery, glass...
Iron Age footbath, Tel ʿEton, Israel RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL—According to a statement released by Bar-Ilan University, archaeologist Avi Faust and his colleagues looked for evidence of older adult residents in a building at Tel ‘Eton, a site in south-central Israel. “By analyzing household artifacts rather than skeletal remains, we have a more effective way to identify elders and uncover their roles and influence within the family,” Faust said. In addition to the household artifacts, the team members examined the architecture and activity areas within the dwelling, which had multiple rooms, two floors, and was likely destroyed in the eighth century B.C. during an Assyrian military campaign. Faust and his...
For residents of the Upper Midwest and Canada—the land of lakes—ice shanties are ubiquitous winter fixtures. From the huge temporary villages that emerge on Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago for sturgeon-spearing season to ramshackle, hand-built huts dotting Ontario’s Lake Simcoe, these vernacular structures are designed around openings or hatches in the floors so that hardy northerners can fish through holes drilled in the ice. It’s this unique tradition, combined with artistic flair, that serves as the inspiration for Art Shanty Projects. Every winter, the Minneapolis-based program initiates an interactive series of projects on the lima bean-shaped Lake Harriet, located a few miles southwest of downtown....

While balancing atop a precarious stack of bolsters and tables, a young juggler sends four bright balls up into the air. A fellow performer stands on the floor nearby, observing the skillful toss against the backdrop of a wall-mounted tent in bright, primary colors. Veiled in a warm glow, the photo by Constanze Han offers a rare glimpse into a practice session at Escuela Nacional de Circo, Havana’s center for circus performance. “Founded after the Cuban Revolution, the school was part of a broader effort to make professional arts education accessible to young people across the island,” Han shares. “With Soviet support in the late 1970s, it blended technical rigor with Cuban creativity and style,...

“The pictures from The Last Resort still hold very well. When I get to the Pearly Gates, those are the ones I’d probably get out first.” Martin Parr died at home in Bristol on 6 December 2025. He was an icon of British documentary photography, driving the popularisation of colour images in the mid-20th century and turning an astute and humorous lens on the nation. This spring, the Martin Parr Foundation honours his legacy with an exhibition of his renowned series, The Last Resort. Shot around the English seaside town of New Brighton between 1983 and 1985, the body of work confirmed Parr’s international reputation as a titan of photography. The show includes a full set of images from the original...
“Sunflowers” is the star of an Amsterdam exhibition exploring the use of the colour yellow by Van Gogh and a range of artists
In 1922, type designer William A. Dwiggins coined the term “graphic design” in his newspaper article New Kind of Printing Calls for New Design. The phrase reflected the rapidly expanding worlds of branding, commerce and advertising in Europe and the USA. More than one hundred years on, graphic design is a ubiquitous part of modern life, delivering information and entertainment to mass audiences. Rong Jia is a part of this thriving industry, working as a visual communicator across a range of cultural, commercial and digital contexts. Her extensive and impressive list of clients include Houston Grand Opera, SWA Group, Small Door Vet, Sky Zone Trampoline Park, City of Sugar Land, Vortex and more. Her...
Nella pittura di Alice Neel, il volto non coincide mai con un luogo di riconoscimento, ma diventa territorio di attrito simbolico. Le figure rifiutano adesioni immediate e sfuggono a qualsiasi convenzione rappresentativa, mostrandosi come campi attraversati da incongruenze politiche e relazionali. Alla Pinacoteca Agnelli, I Am the Century riattiva questo dispositivo metodico, sottraendo le opere ad appropriazioni storicizzanti e proponendole come strumenti di esplorazione visiva. La ritrattistica di Neel non celebra la stabilità dei caratteri né organizza ciò che appare secondo gerarchie prestabilite. Ogni creazione nasce dall’incontro irregolare con il soggetto, talvolta conflittuale. Il volto si...

A South African court ruled against artist Gabrielle Goliath in her effort to reinstate her pavilion at the 2026 Venice Biennale after it was abruptly canceled by South African Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture Gayton McKenzie earlier this year. Judge Mamokolo Kubushi of the country’s North Gauteng High Court issued the verdict without explanation following a February 11 hearing, and […]
“For me, it always starts with joy,” explains Aunia Kahn. The Detroit-based artist uses a handful of materials—gouache, pastels, pencils, and gold ink—to create rich, velvety portraits that evoke folk art patterns, surrealist themes, and celestial iconography. Reclaiming the importance of play in the creative process has been a powerful catalyst for Kahn, who had previously experienced a loss of joy in making amid life-threatening health challenges. “That playfulness led me straight back to my roots, to growing up in Michigan and spending time in Canada, to the German and Polish folk art that filled my grandparents’ home,” she says. “I realized that world of bold color, rich pattern, and...

Skeleton of a girl buried next to a collection of bones belonging to a distant female relative, Ajvide, Sweden UPPSALA, SWEDEN—According to a Live Science report, geneticist Tiina Mattila of Uppsala University and her colleagues have completed a genetic study of remains recovered from four multiple burials at Ajvide, a 5,500-year-old hunter-gatherer cemetery on the Swedish island of Gotland. In all, just eight of the 85 graves in the cemetery held the bones of more than one person. The first grave in the study held the remains of a woman and two young children. The children were found to be full brother and sister, while the woman may have been their father’s sister or their half-sister. The second grave...
Neolithic figurine, Starčevo-Criș culture, Romania SFÂNTU GHEORGHE, ROMANIA—According to a Greek Reporter article, a 2.5-inch Neolithic figurine depicting a woman with extended arms was discovered in central Romania, among traces of dwellings, pottery, and charcoal dated to between 5800 and 5500 B.C. National Museum of the Eastern Carpathians archaeologists Dan Lucian Buzea, Dan Călin Ştefan, and Puskás Jozsef were investigating the site of Arcuş when they uncovered the settlement, which had been built by the early farmers of the Starčevo-Criş culture. The figurine was made with clay tempered with chaff and sand fired at high temperatures to produce a brick red color, but darker areas suggest that...

La pratica artistica di Yichun Yao, in mostra fino al 25 febbraio 2026 nella collettiva Rose Jail[1] alla Tache Gallery di Londra, fonde videoarte e narrazione episodica in modalità mockumentary e art comedy. Ricco di idee immaginative e di un’autoironia che ricorda Woody Allen, il suo approccio alle nuove tecnologie oscilla tra lo sviluppo di app all’avanguardia e performance interattive a bassa fedeltà che svelano la “scatola nera” degli algoritmi dell’amore. Utilizzando se stessa come medium sperimentale, l’artista indaga l’ansia diffusa nella società contemporanea di sfuggire alla condizione di single. Di recente, in veste di curatrice, ha organizzato la mostra collettiva online Coded...
