On Friday, the federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP), most of whose members were appointed by President Trump or include leaders of Trump-controlled agencies, sent an internal draft proposal to eliminate federal regulations requiring public and state input before construction begins on historic sites, as first reported The Atlantic. The suggested amendments to regulations, shared by the Washington Post, have stoked fears that the requested changes to existing rules will give Trump nearly unchecked power to build a portfolio of controversial projects monumentalizing him in the US capital, while also threatening historic sites around the country, including those considered sacred by Indigenous...

The European Union has definitively said that it will not provide the Venice Biennale with a previously expected multiyear €2 million ($2.3 million) grant, owing to the event’s inclusion of Russia this year, even as the country continues its assault on Ukraine, the New York Times reports. The withdrawal comes after months of warnings: The EU in March […]

Following the cancellation of the Viennacontemporary art fair, as well as Spark Art Fair Vienna’s decision to hold off on exhibiting in 2026 via a strategic operational “pause,” it was announced this week that the Austrian capital will host a new fair: the Astoria Artshow, running from September 10–13 of this year. The inaugural edition […]

a permanent tattoo applied like a patch
 
At a Shoreditch launch on July 23rd, 2026, London-based skin technology company CipherX will invite visitors to receive a permanent tattoo from a patch. Its Microdot Tattoo system trades the familiar buzz of a tattoo machine for hundreds of microscopic structures, each carrying pigment into the skin before dissolving.
 
The patch stays in place for about fifteen minutes, and the image grows darker over the following 24 to 48 hours.
 
The current format keeps the tattoos deliberately small, with each design confined to a 15-millimeter circular canvas. Carbon black motifs include a bold star and a tiny chair, while custom artwork remains limited to selected...

A New York sculptor thought he had found an unlikely market for a new artwork. Instead, he found himself stuck with a six-foot-four-inch bronze-colored monument sitting in his studio, a broken foot, a six-figure bill, and almost no interest from collectors. Artist Sergio Furnari says he spent roughly $100,000 building a life-size sculpture of the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, believing wealthy donors would help finance the project and eventually turn it into a traveling monument. Instead, according to the Guardian, the sculpture has become more like an expensive lesson in the risks of speculative artmaking and less a fundraising success. Furnari, an Italian-born sculptor based in New York, said no...

Across three pickleball courts in central Pittsburgh, Sharmistha Ray embraces the realm of sport as a canvas for vibrant paintings. Geometry of Play comprises large-scale murals that mark the first artist-designed pickleball courts in the country. While we most often associate outdoor murals with walls, the otherwise nondescript 22-by-40-foot area is ripe for interpretation. Ray translates their vivid, geometric abstractions onto a playable surface, tapping into the sport’s communal nature. The artist has long been interested in themes of belonging, especially through the lenses of queer identity and the inheritance of multiple cultures. Photo by Ross Ribblett In Geometry of Play, target-like spheres,...

Is Italy’s famous 6th-century BCE statue known as the “Warrior of Capestrano” a Mussolini-backed forgery? Recently granted permission to test the mysterious statue, held in Abruzzo’s National Archaeology Museum in Chieti, central Italy, may have the answers, reports the Times of London. The over-two-meters-high, imposing limestone figure, adorned with a wide-brimmed hat, its arms crossed upon an hourglass-shaped body outfitted with intricately carved armor and weapons, was discovered buried in an Abruzzo vineyard in 1934, along with several items believed to have been part of the ancient city of Aufinum. Since then, archaeologists have largely agreed that the Warrior of Capestrano is a pre-Roman...

The European Union has officially suspended its €2 million ($2.3 million) grant to the Venice Biennale after a review of the inclusion of the Russian Pavilion in its official program.   The decision was announced by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) after a legal review and on the recommendation of the European Commission, Monopol reported Tuesday. Last week, the Commission announced its recommendation to suspend the funding, which represents a fraction of the festival’s overall budget.  “Cultural projects financed with European taxpayers’ money should uphold democratic values and promote open dialogue, diversity and freedom of expression—values that are not...

Helen Levitt, "New York" (1971), dye transfer (© Film Documents LLC; image courtesy Zander Galerie, Cologne)Photographer Helen Levitt, who was born in Bensonhurst in 1913 and died at the age of 95 in her fifth-floor apartment in Greenwich Village, lived in New York City her entire life (save for a five-month sojourn to Mexico) and never lost her Flatbush accent. She was friends with photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, and, like the latter, collaborated with writer James Agee, but she never received the level of attention and acclaim that her male contemporaries did. Though Levitt is perhaps best known for her photographs of children’s chalk drawings in the 1930s, they comprise only a...

The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) plans to eliminate its entire in-house custodial workforce in August, according to the institution and the union American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 (AFSCME Council 31).Up to 25 of the museum's custodians — including 23 unionized workers — would lose their current jobs as part of the museum's plan to outsource its custodial work to a private, third-party vendor. The affected workers are responsible for cleaning the institution's galleries and facilities. Some of them have worked at the AIC for decades.The AIC Workers United, the institution's umbrella union organization, called the plan a "devastating and...

Welcome back from the far side of hell. After a heat advisory, dangerously unhealthy air, and a torrential thunderstorm — and another on the way as we speak? — we hope the plagues will end soon and we can all live in relative peace.Of course, this is New York, and how boring would it be if it were predictable? Case in point (and reason #8,706 to avoid Times Square): A monument to Charlie Kirk might be coming to town. “God gave me permission,” sculptor Sergio Furnari said in defense of his sooty, Elvis-looking memorial statue of the right-wing podcaster he plans to install — sans permit — in September.Reason number infinity to stay: Trevor Winkfield’s artificial, playfully sinister worlds at Tibor...

The iconic Art Deco architecture of Los Angeles’ Richard J. Riordan Central Library houses more than 10 million items, making it the third largest library in the country. The institution also celebrates its centennial this year. So, what better way to ring in a new century of reading and learning than with the largest pop-up book ever created? Commissioned by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles in partnership with the Los Angeles Public Library, L.A.-based artist and printmaker Daniel González conceived of a monumental ode to knowledge, discovery, and imagination. “Luceros y Penumbres” also nods to the building’s history, taking pride of place in the elegant rotunda surrounded by Dean...

Daesung Lee on his series, nirvana
 
In 2024, Paris and Korea-based photographer Daesung Lee started taking photos of his mom on his trips back to his hometown in Korea. Dressed in bright red and decorated with twinkling sea creatures, Lee and his mom created the series, Nirvana: a work that looks at the many lives his mom has lived. Through these joyful compositions that see his mom, dad, and other folks of their generation play with the motifs and colors of the country, Lee creates a body of work that reflects on Korea’s history while, ‘moving forward to the next stage of life.’

BURR RECONFIGURES AZ06 AROUND THE BUILDING’S CENTRAL CORE
 
Spanish architecture studio BURR renovates an existing apartment in Madrid to accommodate a family of five. Named AZ06, the project responds to the original configuration of the building, where the main staircase, elevators, and internal courtyard form an unavoidable core at the center of the floor plan. Rather than concealing this condition, the architects use it to organize a home that continuously rotates around the central void.
 
The apartment is conceived as a sequence of interconnected spaces that can be crossed through multiple routes. Most rooms include both an entrance and an exit, allowing residents to move cyclically around the home...

sixteen animals inside one block of oak
 
Across the surface of Enzo Mari’s 16 Animali, the elephant usually gives the game away first, with its trunk curling into the body of another creature while a snake winds along the edge of the frame. The rest take a little longer to find. A giraffe rises through a narrow neck, and a hippo fills a broad patch of wood between the surrounding figures.
 
Once one piece is lifted, the rectangle begins to come apart quickly. Each toy animal is thick enough to stand on its own, so the puzzle spreads across the floor as a loose wooden cast, ready to be stacked or drawn into a story. Returning them to the frame is harder. Every curve depends on the next one, and a piece...

Marking Malta’s fifth participation at Venice Art Biennale 2026, on view until November 22, 2026, and amid the busy hum of one of the art world’s most prestigious events, the pavilion carves out a...

By Victoria Thomas There's something about a hanging. Whether legal or not, the visual experience seems mythic, supernatural, theatrical, and ritualistic, versus the efficiency of a swift kill. If local authorities greenlight the killing, it's called a hanging. If they don't, the hanging is extrajudicial, and it's called a lynching. Anyone with even the scantiest grasp of American history will know that our country has a sordid romance with lynching — a romance which persists. And unless...

“Nothingness lies coiled in the heart of being,” philosopher and writer Jean-Paul Sartre posited in Being and Nothingness, published in 1943. It’s in this book that he also shares an anecdote about stepping into a cafe, where he was to meet a friend. In scanning the room with its other patrons, furniture, and noise, he was tuned into the fact that his friend was not there, an experience infused with an acute awareness—an absence that transformed into a kind of presence. Architects of Absence, a group exhibition at Gallery Wendi Norris, plumbs this dialogue between two seemingly contradictory elements. Colossal readers may recognize the work of Dabin Ahn, Selva Aparicio, and Remedios Varo (1908-1963)...

Between April 1 and 10 of this year, NASA’s Artemis II mission made history as four astronauts flew farther from Earth than anyone has ever traveled before. With state-of-the-art technology and numerous cameras onboard, the crew captured some of the most striking images we’ve seen of our planet as the flight path led them around our iconic satellite. Lenses attached to the exterior of the spacecraft, plus numerous photographers stationed on the ground during the launch, documented the literally out-of-the-this world process of rocketing through the planet’s atmosphere and keeping course around the moon. John D. Boswell, a musician and filmmaker who works as MELODYSHEEP, created a cinematic short film...

The New Museum will stage the largest survey of Arthur Jafa's career, featuring films alongside new installations, paintings, sculptures and photography.

Common Objects brings together the work of 97 photographers from across the globe to explore the role of the image and its ability to shape perception. Organized not by theme or geography but by visual association, the book draws on the logic of the reference catalog—a structure built for sustained, democratic looking. Within it, photographs from vastly different cultures and contexts find themselves in unexpected proximity, generating connections and contrasts that no single image could produce alone. In this format, the photographs enter into a subtle dialogue with one another, revealing how context, sequence, and framing shape interpretation and inform visual experience.

All’interno dell’ex edificio industriale dell’Espace Monte-Cristo, nel quartiere del Père-Lachaise a Parigi, Diseuses de silence si configura come un dispositivo espositivo che non si limita a tematizzare il silenzio, ma lo assume come condizione epistemologica, come forma differenziale della percezione e come campo di tensione tra visibile e dicibile. Ospitata nella sede parigina della Fondation Villa Datris, istituzione fondata nel 2011 da Danièle Marcovici e Tristan Fourtine e dedicata alla promozione della scultura contemporanea in senso espanso, la mostra si inserisce in una traiettoria curatoriale che concepisce la scultura non più come oggetto, ma come ambiente percettivo, struttura relazionale...

From portraits taken around Harlem in the 1940s to assignments for Life magazine to the 1963 March on Washington, Gordon Parks (1912-2006) wielded his camera as a tool for social justice. He captured civil rights activists like Malcom X and Martin Luther King, Jr. in addition to artists and celebrities such as Helen Frankenthaler and Ingrid Bergman. But he may be best known for his candid portraits of families and communities in the segregated South during the era of Jim Crow. All of these and more will be on view in Voices in the Mirror at Jack Shainman Gallery in mid-September, also marking the 20th anniversary of The Gordon Parks Foundation. Parks was spurred to pursue photography in 1937 after seeing...

Il principio della sottrazione è il centro attorno al quale si articola la nuova mostra dell’artista Marco Rèa (Roma, 1975), intitolata “Silence is” allestita alla Street Levels Gallery di Firenze. Il principio della sottrazione affonda le sue radici in concetti autentici e lineari legati all’esistenza e alla visione della realtà. Lo stesso Italo Calvino in “Lezioni Americane” definisce la sottrazione come uno strumento concreto per alleggerire il peso del mondo, lasciando integra la sua sostanza. Rèa, con le sue creazioni, attinge da oltre vent’anni a un percorso che attraversa i confini tra street art, sistema dell’immagine e ricerca visiva contemporanea.

La scelta di mettere in dialogo Arthur Jafa e Richard Prince potrebbe apparire, a prima vista, come l’ennesima operazione curatoriale costruita attorno al paradigma dell’appropriazione. Helter Skelter, la mostra curata da Nancy Spector per Fondazione Prada a Ca’ Corner della Regina, dimostra invece come questo dispositivo critico possa ancora produrre nuovi significati quando viene sottratto alla semplice genealogia postmoderna per confrontarsi con la crisi contemporanea dell’immagine.
