PROSTORIA REINTERPRETS VJENCESLAV RICHTER’S MODERNIST ARCHIVE
 
Croatian brand Prostoria unveils a long-term cultural initiative that breathes life into the archival dreams of architect Vjenceslav Richter. Debuting first at Salone del Mobile 2026 and then at the brand’s flagship store in Chicago during NeoCon as the US premiere, the ‘Revisiting Richter’ collection serves as a bridge between the golden age of Croatian modernism and the contemporary landscape. Rather than a static re-edition, the project acts as a dialogue through design, evolving archival concepts into furniture thoughtfully adapted for modern-day living. 
 
As a widely respected figure whose significant influence on European...

The late philosopher Édouard Glissant saw the world as an archipelago, a non-hierarchical cluster of distinct but connected islands. To him, art wasn’t about ownership, but a commons — a living archive attentive to difference, but defined by relation and provisional alliances. It’s a way of thinking that is “practically unheard of in America,” critic John Yau writes in a review of an exhibition of Glissant’s collection at the Center for Art, Research and Alliances (CARA) in New York. “We are the poorer for it.” Yep. As if to prove that point, the Trump administration announced this week that it plans to issue passports prominently displaying the president’s portrait and signature. Rather...

studio mo man tai assembles threshold from fragments in milan
 
At the entrance to the Cavallerizze, studio mo man tai presents Re-campaign as a saturated, walk-through sequence of color. Installed during Milan Design Week 2026 within the 5VIE district, the project reworks discarded large-scale advertising banners into fifteen fabric portals that form a permeable gateway.
 
Once stretched across facades and engineered for maximum visibility, these materials are cut, layered, and recomposed into an environment that privileges movement over message. The installation marks a shift from image to encounter, where what used to be looked at now becomes something to pass through. ‘We are interested in shifting...

triangular kiosk by BUfen Atelier cuts into Beijing’s streetscape
 
The floating kiosk by Bufen Atelier is positioned along a tree-lined avenue in Beijing, where it introduces a compact architectural volume defined by geometry, material contrast, and controlled detachment from its surroundings. Conceived as an autonomous object, the pavilion establishes a clear distinction from the surrounding urban fabric.
 
The structure is organized as a triangular mass, a geometric form selected for its inherent stability and clarity. This primary volume is articulated through three facades composed of different marble types, combining gray-white, black-gold, and muted green tones. The stone surfaces are cut and...

For its first national pavilion at the Arsenale, the Kingdom of Morocco presents Asǝṭṭa at the International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, a monumental installation designed specifically for the Artiglierie by multidisciplinary artist Amina Agueznay. The project explores the transmission of traditional craftsmanship and shared memory through a ‘fully immersive installation that unfolds as a membrane, or second skin,’ as Amina Agueznay tells designboom.

In Deborah Turbeville – Photocollage and Ikram Abdulkadir – Soft Focus, presented side by side at Moderna Museet Malmö, the image is not fixed but constantly in negotiation with time, material and gaze. Fashion and portrait photography provide the point of departure, yet both practices quickly exceed their commercial origins. Instead, they unfold into meditations on presence – how a body occupies space, and how that space might be withheld, transformed or dissolved over time. Across both exhibitions, softness becomes a structural principle rather than a purely aesthetic choice. Turbeville’s work establishes a language of atmospheric resistance, where the photograph resists clarity in favour of...

Non tutte le invisibilità coincidono con l’assenza. Alcune, più insidiose, sono prodotte da un paradossale eccesso di esposizione. Si tratta di corpi continuamente inscritti entro una matrice discorsiva e materiale che li classifica gerarchicamente, li piega a una funzione e, pertanto, li sottrae alla possibilità di apparire come singolarità. L’invisibile, in questo senso, non è ciò che manca allo sguardo, ma ciò che lo sguardo non sa sostenere senza ridurlo a figura amministrabile, a presenza funzionale, a materia governabile entro l’ordine storico. Si tratta di un in(di)visibile strutturalmente implicato nell’ordine che lo produce. L’invisibilità di cui parla Pamela Diamante non ha nulla a...

Converge 45, a citywide triennial in Portland, Oregon, has announced the theme and the 28 participating artists for the exhibition’s upcoming edition, launching August 27. New York–based curator Lumi Tan has titled this iteration of the art festival “Here, To you, Now,” borrowing a phrase from Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1985 science-fiction novel Always Coming Home. The novel focuses on the Kesh people, who have survived an ecological disaster and “prioritize the impermanence of spoken language, insisting that meaning is always remade in the moment: Here, to you, now,” according to a release. The choice to look at Le Guin is intentional as the late author was based in Portland, as such more than half of...

George Herms, one of the founders of the West Coast Assemblage movement, passed away on Friday, April 24, at age 90. Herms worked across disciplines, but was best known for his sculptures and collages that transformed found materials, rusted metal parts, and cast-off debris into poetic representations of impermanence, suffused with pathos and oftentimes humor.“Herms’s work always has a sense of the sacred, a respect for the dignity of what remains,” gallerist Craig Krull told Hyperallergic. “His contributions to fine art, as well as to the deeper and more profound art of life, include an uninhibited sense of freedom, an ability to throw off the constraints and shackles of society, a soulful awareness...

WARSAW, POLAND—According to a La Brújula Verde report, hundreds of grids carved into the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Ptolemais, in what is now northeastern Libya, have been documented by archaeologist Zofia Kowarska of the University of Warsaw. The grids are concentrated on the eastern side of the site and are thought to have been engraved after the Arab conquest of the region in the seventh century A.D., when Ptolemais was abandoned. “Sometimes in a single spot we find a dozen, even 20 or 30 boards right next to each other,” Kowarska said. The boards usually consist of a number of small, circular depressions arranged in a square or rectangle. Local people living now in nearby Tolmeita suggest...

MASOVIA, POLAND—Jewelry was produced in east-central Poland with amber likely imported from the Baltic Sea region, according to a Science in Poland report. As many as 10 workshops in five settlements have been identified through fragments of raw amber, semiworked pieces of amber, and finished decorative amber beads and pendants. These small workshops have been dated to the third and fourth centuries A.D., when this area of Poland was inhabited by the Przeworsk culture, which is known for producing iron. More than 20,000 amber fragments found at one workshop suggests that the pieces could have been produced for large-scale exchange. “In light of the research to date, Masovia appears to be the largest amber...

In the richly detailed linocuts of Eduardo Robledo, festive ceremonies, spiritual motifs, and dream-like interactions unfurl. The Mexico City-based artist was born and raised in the southern borough of Xochimilco, which is famous for its canals—vestiges of a huge Aztec water transport system still used today for bringing goods into the city. This area and its time-honored customs provide a bounty of inspiration for Robledo. Community and celebration are at the heart of his work, as creatures and figures converge in enigmatic, sometimes ritualistic choreographies. Traditional motifs like skulls and skeletons, which represent remembrance, joy, and an acceptance of the cycle of life and death, interact with...

Some 80 buildings have been found over an area of nearly 250 acres, including a central C-shaped plaza with five buildings, according to archaeologist Blancas Olvera. Based on the style of the architecture, which features large vaulted buildings and rounded and recessed corners with apron moldings, the site was likely inhabited between A.D. 250 and 900.

From rivers and oxbow lakes to crop-field patchworks and mineral sediments, Landsat has seen it all. A program of NASA and USGS, the satellite initiative has documented the Earth’s surface since 1972, making it the longest continuous record of our planet’s ever-evolving landscapes. And to mark Earth Day 2026, the organizations launched a playful way to interact with some of their findings collected over the past five-and-a-half decades—a name generator. Using the tool is simple: type in your name, or any word, and Landsat returns it in the form of vertical snapshots of a wide range of terrain. Just like we see with composites of Mars, for instance, scientists have digitally enhanced some images to...

In Kashmir, India, there are three stages of winter: Chillai Kalan, Chillai Khurd and Chillai Bache. The first is The Great Cold, occupying mid-December to the end of January, when the weather is at its harshest and temperatures drop below freezing. Snowfall is a common occurrence. The second is the Small Cold, when things warm up slightly but the weather can still be biting, followed finally by The Baby Cold, characterised by intermittent sunshine and melting ice. This annual progression towards spring is the focus of a new book from Magnum photographer Sohrab Hura (b. 1981). Snow documents the artist’s repeated visits to the Indian-administered region over a five-year period, recording its passage...

The opening of V&A East Storehouse signals a recalibration in how institutions might live with their collections, not as static reservoirs of heritage but as permeable, operational spaces of encounter. Set within the wider emergence of V&A East, the Storehouse reframes access as a continuous condition rather than an occasional event, dissolving the distance between storage, study and display. It arrives at a moment when museums are increasingly asked to perform not authority but to open their infrastructures to forms of public legibility that were once hidden. Its arrival also invites comparison with the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, where transparency and verticality have already recast the...

Sanskrit seal HYDERABAD, INDIA—The Times of India reports that researchers led by epigrapher K.

The seal is thought to be the oldest known depiction of the story, Reddy concluded. To read...

In Diana Markosian’s latest body of work, intimacy is framed as an unstable condition, continually reconstructed through absence, repetition and emotional residue, where love persists beyond its apparent ending in altered, shifting forms. Relationships appear less as fixed narratives than as structures in motion, shaped as much by what has disappeared as by what remains visible. Replaced, now on at Gallerie d’Italia, organises emotional experience through cycles of return in which memory functions less as retrieval than ongoing re-authorship. Photography and film work together to stage this instability, allowing scenes to reappear in subtly altered emotional registers, as if slightly out of alignment with...

C’è sempre, entrando in una mostra, un momento quasi automatico, e in fondo un po’ ridicolo nella sua prevedibilità, in cui ci si ritrova a chiedere che cosa si abbia davanti, che cosa sia davvero ciò che si sta guardando, come se fosse ancora possibile, oggi, ottenere da una domanda del genere una risposta stabile, qualcosa che non si dissolva nello stesso istante in cui prende forma.

Matthew Walton is an emerging artist based in Toronto. He holds a B.A.A. (Hons.) in Animation from Sheridan College. His mixed-media practice combines drawing and painting, often merging the human form with a distinct graphic sensibility. The result is figurative compositions that strike a distinct textural contrast between softness and hardness. Embracing gestures and mannerisms once repressed, his work is also a celebration of authentic self-expression.
Froot Loops features Matthew’s mixed-media-work-on-paper series highlighting the quiet charm of everyday queerness. Each piece reimagines a separate mundane moment, transformed by Matthew’s bold, graphic approach to figuration and his vibrant technicolor...
