My grandfather was born near Black River, the Jamaican port town where the infamous ship the Zong docked in 1781 after the massacre of 133 enslaved Africans who were thrown overboard and killed for an insurance claim. Blood in the river mouth, Black River’s waterway flows into the Atlantic Ocean, where I used to picture the scene of English Romantic artist J. M. W. Turner’s oft-cited painting “The Slave Ship” (1840). But according to Turner and the Slave Trade (2026), by University of Plymouth Emeritus art historian Sam Smiles, I was wrong to associate the two so strongly. The author, who co-curated the Tate’s 2014 traveling exhibition Late Turner: Painting Set Free, contends the tableau of “The...

In archaeology, discoveries typically prompt more questions than answers. For Max Lehman, who studies Pre-Columbian art history, what we don’t know—and may never—about ancient peoples and civilizations is what makes the discipline so compelling. The ancient Mayans, for example, bedecked their elaborate temples with images on carved rock slabs, and the Aztec sun stone, or calendar stone, is a remarkable example of Mexica sculpture. Lehman’s work has one foot in the advanced civilizations of the past and another in the distant future, a time long after today’s developments around robotic and machine learning technologies. His current show Ancestral Androids at Hecho a Mano delves into a kind of future...

To mark the upcoming departure of longtime MCA Chicago director Madeleine Grynsztejn, who established the initiative, the WAI will be renamed the Madeleine Fund for Women Artists. “Madeleine, I think, has been all of our teacher and mentor, and the greatest leader.

Just as a major exhibition of Jackson Pollock and his wife and fellow painter Lee Krasner opens at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Pollock’s former Lower Manhattan loft has hit the market for $1.99 million. The one-bedroom 1827 West Village apartment, listed with Shane Boyle of Compass, boasts nearly two centuries of New York history. Constructed on land once owned by the third US vice president Aaron Burr, the building was also home to a milliner who sold hats and bonnets in the building’s downstairs in the 1850s, before Pollock, his brother Charles, and sister-in-law Elizabeth moved into the 46 Carmine Street in 1932. Together, the Pollock brothers studied under American Regionalist Thomas...

The London-based artist Rana Begum’s show at Lehmann Maupin — her first solo show in New York — is a perceptual mindfuck, in the best possible way. Across 18 works drawn from different series that thread through the artist’s career, we see her using simple, industrial materials — glass, automotive parts, chain link, metal — to create complex, phenomenological, and even paradoxical experiences of color and light. “There are three core elements in my work: light, form, and color,” Begum told me during a walk-through of her show a few days before it opened. “Those three things coexist in each work. There’s a different kind of balance for each series. One will be more about light and the next...

As a child in Dashishan Village in southern China, Tang Shuo was afraid of snakes. He and several generations of the Tang family lived together in a small community and farmed the land, tending to crops and sheep and encountering the occasional reptile. In a vivid new painting on linen, the artist confronts this adolescent fear as he envisions himself grasping a sleek, black serpent, its recently shed skin lying beneath them. Long interested in his ancestry and familial connection to the land, Tang once again journeys to his home territory for Borrowed History, his first solo exhibition in New York. This body of work extends the artist’s approach to questioning how our heritage informs our understanding of...

From nail-cloaked ceramic vessels to larger-than-life busts influenced by African and Oceanic visual culture, Sharif Bey’s bold works summon the complexities of heritage, identity, and society. In his ceramic and mixed-media Guardian Series and Crown Series, calm yet imposing figures evoke the Benin Bronzes, ceremonial masking traditions, the giant Moai stone heads of Easter Island, and more. Bey has long been interested in the commanding nature of objects, especially the ways in which colonialist forces have mined cultural heritage. The Benin Bronzes, which artisans created during the 14th century in what is now Nigeria, are a prime example: British troops looted thousands of plaques in 1897, and The...

red incision marks physical scars of land intervention in Erimitis
 
In Erimitis, one of the last major undeveloped coastal ecosystems in northeastern Corfu, Greece, artist The Krank has created Wound, a temporary 50-meter-long land art installation. Presented fourteen years after the movement to protect the area began, the work uses the image of a bodily injury to address the marks left by human intervention on the landscape.
 
An oversized red incision appears to split the land open, while black stitches connect its two sides. The gesture translates bodily trauma to the scale of the landscape, making the vulnerability of the site visible through a familiar physical image. Members of the local community...

STUDIO KO REIMAGINES BUS PALLADIUM IN PIGALLE
 
On rue Pierre Fontaine in Paris’ Pigalle district, Studio KO has brought Bus Palladium club back into the night — this time as a five-star hotel. Opened on April 10, 2026, the project brings together 35 rooms and suites, a restaurant and bar, a rooftop and an underground club within a building that rises six floors above the street and extends deep below it. Led by architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty, the intervention does not attempt to recreate the former venue room by room. Instead, it translates its history through materials, atmosphere and a few carefully preserved signals. The red neon is back; the program simply got taller.

Freddie Yauner on turning the mirror away from the self
 
‘The tool of every self-portrait is the mirror. You see yourself in it. Turn it the other way, and you see the world,’ Agnes Varda once said. Freddie Yauner takes that gesture literally, and through his Mirror Mask he replaces the reflection of the wearer with whatever is in front of them. In an exclusive interview with designboom, the London-based artist looks back at how his project has evolved from an experiment at the Royal College of Art to an object that unexpectedly found a life within the very image culture it was questioning.
 
Yauner describes Mirror Mask as an ‘anti-selfie’, but the term only begins to explain what has happened...

VALENTINO TURNS THE RUNWAY INTO A LIBRARY OF POSSIBILITIES
  Alessandro Michele stages Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Paris’s Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève as an encounter between clothing and everything that remains unknown. Titled Antibiblioteca, the show takes its starting point from the idea of the antilibrary, a collection of unread books whose value lies precisely in what they might still contain. In Michele’s formulation, fashion can operate in much the same way. Garments do not need to be worn, owned or consumed to have meaning. They can exist as possibilities.

Two-volume minimalist house opens a continuous Lake view
 
Minimalist House by FORM / Kouichi Kimura Architects is a residence for a single owner on a hill above a lakeside town in Shiga, Japan. Instead of treating single-person living as a reason to reduce the house to a compact footprint, the design uses the individual as its base unit, reducing the composition to essential spaces while allowing views, light, wind, and sound to shape the interior.
 
Measuring roughly 70 sqm, the house is composed of a two-story main building and a single-story annex connected by a glazed passageway. The gap between the two volumes creates a continuous sightline from the road through the house toward the lake, while also...

Guangyi Luo ha ricevuto una formazione specifica per controllare i pattern. La sua esperienza nel design della moda e nella stampa le ha insegnato come gestire la ripetizione, l’equilibrio e l’organizzazione delle immagini su una superficie. In Interwoven Shadows, l’artista rovescia questa padronanza tecnica contro l’uniformità. L’opera ripete le sue forme floreali senza permettere che la ripetizione produca monotonia; l’ordine si stabilisce, ma poi viene di continuo destabilizzato.

Gaia Alari’s works are defined by a distinct, effervescent visual language. Made from thousands of handmade drawings on paper, the artist’s elaborate animations put on strikingly tactile performances as fleeting marks of oil pastel and charcoal dance across the screen. Meandering botanical forms, gestural bodies, and sweeping birds converge into fluid loops that create a rhythm reminiscent of a stream of consciousness. Whether Alari is collaborating with a brand, exploring personal interests, or creating static illustrations, it’s clear that each piece tells a distinct story.

Esiste un modo di intendere l’ospitalità artistica che si esaurisce nella logistica: uno studio, un letto, qualche settimana di tempo sottratto alla routine quotidiana. Ed esiste un altro modo, meno frequente e più impegnativo, in cui l’accoglienza diventa essa stessa un dispositivo critico, capace di orientare non soltanto le condizioni materiali del lavoro artistico, ma il senso stesso di ciò che una residenza può produrre. È a questo secondo modello che sembra guardare “Ripensare l’Aia”, il programma pubblico che accompagna il primo ciclo di Residenze LIEVITO, promosso da La CAP Re|Hub in collaborazione con la galleria IPERCUBO negli spazi del Podere La Capacciola, in Valdichiana Senese.
