So much of my experience of visual art is rooted in interpersonal connection. It’s not that an artist needs to be standing directly in front of their work for me to appreciate it, I just always find myself latching onto their presence — whether it’s physical in the gallery or imbued within their creation. Future Fair, held this year at Chelsea Industrial from May 13 through 16, seems to capture this very spirit. The stereotypical press photograph of a major art fair usually shows an aerial perspective, revealing the cold, industrial bowels formed by gallery booths and their miniature-looking visitors. Unlike this image, which might make one feel like a prey animal observed from above, the six-year-old...

KWK Promes embeds its Yaw House into a mountain slope
 
In southern Poland’s Beskid Mountains, KWK Promes completes Yaw House, a grass-roofed residence shaped directly by the incline of its site. Instead of leveling the terrain or placing a fixed object against the hillside, the architects embed the building within the land itself. The project takes its name from the aviation term ‘yaw,’ describing rotation around a vertical axis, and that single movement defines the home’s entire layout.
 
The house begins with a familiar gabled silhouette positioned parallel to neighboring structures, maintaining continuity with the local architectural language. From there, the volume rotates toward southern light...

Earlier this week, a 5.5-carat diamond ring sold for over $17 million dollars during Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction in Zurich. The triangular-cut stone, known as Ocean Dream, thanks to its blue-green color, had an estimate of about $9-12 million. It is set into an 18-karat white gold band and surrounded by pink and white diamonds. Fortune magazine reported that the buyer was an unnamed private client and that the ring took 20 minute to sell. Max Fawcett, Global Head of Christie’s Jewellery, noted in a statement that this is the second time Ocean Dream has been offered at auction. (t sold for nearly $10 million in 2014, also at Christie’s Geneva.) According to the Smithsonian, it is “one of the...

The Catalan government in Spain sent a formal demand to the Aragonese government asking for €791,000 (around $920,000) to recoup costs related to the value and upkeep of artworks from the Royal Monastery of Santa María de Sigena it was ordered to return in 2017, according to a report in El País. Of the 56 works, 12 had been kept at the National Art Museum of Catalonia and 44 at the Diocesan Museum of Lleida. The works were removed from the monastery in 1936 to protect them from ruin during the Spanish Civil War. In a ruling in 2021, the Supreme Court in Spain stated that “the items formed part of the artistic treasure of the Monastery of Sijena at the time it was declared a National Monument [in 1923],...

More than 100 Seattle Art Museum employees announced plans this week to unionize, joining the nationwide labor movement that’s swept through art institutions in the last six years.  The union, called the Seattle Art Museum Workers United, will represent workers in over 20 front- and back-end departments. The union told SAM director and CEO Scott Stulen of its formation in a letter, writing: “Our solidarity is a movement to improve working conditions in alignment with SAM’s mission, vision, and core values.”  The letter continues, “The challenges we face as unsustainable wages, subpar health benefits, and siloed, top-down decision-making, are undeniable, systemic, and have persisted across...

Every art fair season the question arises: If you aren’t an arts journalist or a patron looking to augment your collection, why attend an art fair at all? With regard to the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, which was founded in 2013 by Touria El Glaoui, the answer I find is that it keeps offering surprise and the genuine pleasure of discovery. Among the spring art fairs that take place in New York, 1-54, open at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in Manhattan through Sunday, still features work that’s unexpected.Take, for example, the presentation of the work of Rommulo Vieira Conceição by the Brazilian gallery Aura. His wall installation “the physical space requires that the other be ally or enemy,...

Austrian artist Valie Export, a powerfully provocative yet playful force in feminist art, died on May 14, three days before her 86th birthday. The news of her passing was confirmed by Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery.Export's performances and filmed media works subverted — nay, stomped on — notions of the male gaze and patriarchal society, reclaiming and reinterpreting the female body through guerrilla modes of delivery that bypassed the restrictions of institutional spaces. Her contributions greatly impacted a Viennese society that Export saw as tainted by the remnants of fascism and its regressive attitudes towards the role of women. Born Waltraud Lehner in 1940 in Linz, Austria, Export felt these attitudes...

Fusing elements of Persian architecture with Christian altarpieces, Arghavan Khosravi grapples with the structures and ideological strictures that shape our lives. The Iranian artist has long reckoned with women’s fight for equality, particularly amid censorship and religious dogma in her native country. Through vibrant gradients that radiate across her sculptural paintings, Khosravi entices the viewer into urgent, ongoing conversations about resistance and control. Opening today at Uffner & Liu, What Remains presents a dynamic new body of work that captures moments of tension and strife. Figures, in Khosravi’s works, are often restricted and tethered to domestic objects and space, and critically,...

Aerial view of enclosure burials, Atbai Desert, Sudan ATBAI DESERT, SUDAN—A new survey of Eastern Sudan’s Atbai Desert mapped hundreds of previously unidentified archaeological features that are providing new clues about what life was like in the region prior to the rise of pharaonic Egypt, Europe Says reports. Researchers used satellite aerial imagery to record at least 260 monumental enclosure burials between the Nile River and the Red Sea. These enigmatic tombs, which can reach 260 feet in diameter, were built by local nomadic herding communities during the fourth and third millennium b.c., making the funerary tradition older than the pyramids of Egypt. Previously excavated examples of these structures,...

Wax tablet notebook PADERBORN, GERMANY—La Brújula Verde reports that a German archaeological team under the supervision of the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe (LWL) recovered an exceptionally well-preserved notebook from a medieval toilet in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The discovery was made during construction of a new administrative headquarters in the city of Paderborn. The four- by three-inch book contains 10 wooden tablet pages coated in wax, onto which the object’s owner etched writing using a metal or bone stylus. The volume was also carefully protected by a leather cover that was stamped with motifs of lilies. Although experts have not yet translated any of the passages, the...

Lucien Zayan came to Frieze New York on a mission. “I am looking for something very specific,” Zayan, the founder of the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, told me.

Art and food, to be precise — works that examine their relationship, shared humanity, social tensions — as he curates the second edition of the NAFAS Festival in Tokyo this September.

Tunnel, Jerusalem, Israel JERUSALEM, ISRAEL—According to a statement released by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), archaeologists unearthed a mysterious tunnel beneath the streets of Jerusalem. During construction work near Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, workers unexpectedly discovered the entrance to an ancient cavity, measuring 16 feet high and 10 feet wide, that was once accessed via a rock-cut staircase. At first researchers believed the passageway may have been part of an ancient water installation built to access underground springs, but this was subsequently ruled out, since the walls of the tunnel were not covered in plaster as they typically would have been. Geologists also found no evidence of any...

The Wellcome Collection in London announced Friday its plans to return 2,000 manuscripts to the Jain community. In an unusual move, however, they will not be returned to Pakistan, where many of the manuscripts were purchased a century ago, or to India, where the majority of Jains live today. Instead, they will head to the University of Birmingham’s Dharmanath Network in Jain Studies, which was established in 2023 and is wholly financed by Jain communities living in the UK, the US, and India. In a release, the collection said it “believes this to be the most appropriate place to maximise community access, deepen research opportunities and safeguard the future of this significant collection.” The transfer...

An Egyptian archeological mission has made several new discoveries this season while excavating at the Abu El-Naga necropolis near Luxor. The announcement was made by Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities. Among the most important finds of the season was a cache of ten well preserved, painted wooden coffins that had been hidden in the shaft of the courtyard of the tomb of Baki. The coffins, featuring brightly painted scenes and hieroglyphic inscriptions, were likely moved from their original burial sites during a period of instability, leading to some damage to the mummies inside..   Four of these coffins date to Egypt’s 18th Dynasty (c. 1550–1292 BC), including one coffin bearing the name of Merit,...

“It beats working”

In Everything Now All At Once at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, the title says it all. Dozens of works from the likes of Nick Cave, Ai Weiwei, Nina Chanel Abney, Wangechi Mutu, and many more represent a slice of the contemporary art world in which globalism and diversity are at the fore, and the lessons of the past inform how artists imagine the future. Interestingly, the pieces are also decidedly analog, especially noteworthy as these works—alongside a few other multimedia and photographic additions—have been made throughout the era of light-speed technological advances. Painting and sculpture, in particular, have long been treated as the nexus of “high art” in the Western canon. The...

Angular forms outline Florida Southern College’s masterplan
 
Located in Lakeland, Florida, Frank Lloyd Wright’s campus plan for Florida Southern College remains the largest single-site collection of the architect’s work in the world. Developed between 1938 and 1958, the project brought together academic buildings, chapels, seminar spaces, esplanades, and water features into a unified architectural vision described by Wright as a ‘truly American campus.’
 
The 80-acre masterplan organizes the campus through a network of covered walkways radiating outward from a central core. Wright envisioned a total of eighteen structures for the institution, twelve of which were ultimately realized over two...

Typically gravitating toward dreamy palettes of soft blues, grays, and oranges, Scottish artist Andrew McIntosh opts for a sanguine red in a new body of work. The crimson paintings continue McIntosh’s otherworldly landscapes that cast familiar forms like mountains and valleys in a strange, uncanny light. Glowing orbs float among the craggy terrain and veil the scenes in mystery. “These works sit somewhere between memory and invention—familiar landscapes interrupted by something I don’t fully understand,” the artist says. “Whitney” (2026), oil on linen, 170 x 130 centimeters On view at School Gallery, these bold pieces comprise the artist’s solo exhibition, I Hope This Transmission Finds You...

exploring how art’s real work happens in the encounter
 
Galerie de Nuage, a cultural platform operating between New York and Hong Kong, positions contemporary art as a framework for encounter rather than spectacle. Through exhibitions, curatorial programming, and interdisciplinary collaborations, the gallery explores how artworks shape experiences of attention, memory, and belonging across different cultural contexts. The practices of artists Rita Bernstein and Amber Stokie exemplify this curatorial direction. Although formally distinct, both artists investigate how intimacy, repetition, and perception can be communicated through material and process.
 
Based between Philadelphia and New York, Rita...

For ‘origo’, Colombian artist Delcy Morelos fills the Sculpture Court of the Barbican Centre with soil, scent, darkness, and touch. Opening on May 15th, 2026, the monumental installation invites visitors to walk through tunnels made from clay, hay, seeds, and spices, creating an experience that feels like stepping inside a living body. Presented under the Barbican’s public commissioning program, the project marks Morelos’ first major public work in the UK and the first activation of the Sculpture Court in nearly a decade.

‘still joy’ highlights ukraInian art in venice
 
To enter the PinchukArtCentre exhibition, a collateral event of the 61st Venice Biennial of Art in Venice, one must cross over the Ponte dell’Accademia bridge and look over a scenic Venetian canal with its water taxis and vaparettos zipping by. With this view, on what is likely to be a sunny day for most visitors, there is a certain magic that this city exudes. Around the corner, there is the entrance to ‘Still Joy — From Ukraine Into the World,’ presented by the Victor Pinchuk Foundation and the PinchukArtCentre.

The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize, established in 1996, celebrates exhibitions and publications that have made “a significant contribution to photography in the past 12 months.” It’s a major moment in the cultural calendar, and, over the years, has spotlighted seminal names such as Arthur Jafa, Deana Lawson, Lorna Simpson, Richard Mosse and Susan Meiselas.

The show, as Shoair Mavlian, Director of The Photographers’ Gallery and Chair of the Jury, describes, comprised “raw and honest photographs” that “bring a story of...

Milan-based Filipina designer Mirei Monticelli creates biomorphic lighting fixtures that toe the line between sculpture and utility. Undulating outward and glowing from within, the artist’s works feel as if they are alive, quietly dancing wherever they stand or hang. These gestural, biodegradable structures are crafted with hand-woven Banaca fabric made from Abacá, a fiber that grows abundantly in Monticelli’s native Philippines. The artist’s studio works directly with a community of weavers in the Bicol province at the southeastern end of Luzon, sharing with Colossal, “We’ve developed the material together over time, so it’s not just sourcing, but a relationship.” The laborious act of...

KUJAWY, POLAND—Science in Poland reports that high nitrogen levels detected in the isotopic analysis of human and animal bone collagen recovered from more than 30 archaeological sites in northern Poland indicate that Neolithic farmers fertilized their fields. The study also showed that these early farmers ate little fish and other freshwater foods. Then, between around 2800 and 2200 B.C., populations such as the people of the Corded Ware culture from an area near the Danube River arrived in what is now northern Poland, said Łukasz Pospieszny of the University of Gdańsk. The newcomers adapted to local conditions, he explained, but they maintained their own dietary patterns based on meat and dairy...

Pottery and possible piece of an altar in a Scythian tomb, Gura Bacului, Moldova DNIESTER, MOLDOVA—According to a Moldpres report, a Scythian tomb dated to the third century B.C. has been discovered by archaeologists from Moldova’s National Archaeological Agency. The tomb, made up of an access shaft, a corridor, and a burial chamber, was found during rescue excavations in the necropolis at Gura Bacului in east Moldova. The burial contained ceramic vessels, arrowheads, beads, a sheathed knife, a censer, and worked stone that may have been used as an altar.

Joy Machine is pleased to present Feel Free, a group exhibition featuring new works by Rachel Hayden, Paulina Ho, Hanna Lee Joshi, and Jeremy Miranda. The opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on May 15, 2026. Attempting to create order and find clarity amid chaos is human instinct. Since time immemorial, we’ve endeavored to make sense of a world in which reason and certainty are never assured. Change, as the saying goes, is the only constant, which means notions of autonomy or control are a subjective fantasy rather than a concrete reality. In Feel Free, we witness four artists grappling with this enduring paradox. Each surrenders to the inevitability of change and focuses on the small instances...

The history of photography has long been shaped by what is seen and, crucially, by what is omitted. New Woman, New Vision. Women Photographers of the Bauhaus enters this contested terrain with force, assembling an expansive body of work that feels at once familiar and newly charged. Bringing together approximately 300 photographs, the exhibition reframes the Bauhaus not as a closed chapter of modernism, but as an evolving site of authorship, experimentation and erasure. It is less a recovery project than a recalibration, asking viewers to look again at images they may think they know. In doing so, it exposes the fragility of the canon itself. What emerges is a complex picture of photographic modernity. From...
