Softness and resilience. Presence and absence. Vitality and stillness. These are just a few of the dualities that permeate the atmospheric work of Jeanne Vicerial, whose textile-focused practice taps into history and femininity with precision and reverence. A city-wide exhibition of Vicerial’s pieces titled Incarnation: Carte blanche Jeanne Vicerial opens across several historic spaces in Aix-en-Provence this month: Musée du Pavillon de Vendôme, Musée des Tapisseries, Chapelle de la Visitation, and Musée Granet. Situated amid centuries-old architecture and existing museum collections, the artist’s works nod to time, tradition, and remembrance. The show surveys sculptures and installations created...

Condé Nast kills another flock of print mags. The Venice Biennale is a bust. Jeff Bezos reigns over the Met Gala, smugly stuffed into a black tux. Given the state of the art and fashion world today, who could deny the allure of early aughts nostalgia? Therein lies the obvious appeal of Moss and Freud (2025), a new film about the unlikely friendship between supermodel Kate Moss and portraitist Lucian Freud. More a glitzy buddy film than traditional biopic, James Lucas’s debut directorial feature is as frivolous as Fendi fringe, as puffy as a Rodarte sleeve. And that is its only redeeming quality. At best, it is a toothsome, predictable film about intergenerational bonding. At worst, it is a film that openly...

amo, solidnature, paf atelier, and la marzocco converse in milan
 
Design can be both permanent and temporary, yet it is during the fleeting pulse of a design festival that we truly witness the long-term benefits of the ephemeral. The temporary can become blueprints for a more evocative, speculative future. At Milan Design Week 2026, this spirit was in effect as designboom hosted an expansive conversation on how temporary environments serve as rehearsals for alternative realities. Within the immersive ROOM FOR DREAMS activation, designers — Samir Bantal, architect and director of AMO/OMA; David Mahyari, founder of SolidNature; Christopher Dessus, founder of Paf atelier; and Paul Kelly, Global Marketing...

The Print Center in Philadelphia presents America Today: Voices in Contemporary Print, featuring artists who harness the power of printmaking to amplify their voices and engage directly with the issues that shape American society.On the occasion of the nation’s 250th anniversary, amid today’s tumultuous political environment, artists readily contend with the fundamental principles of the common good, civil rights, social justice, and political engagement. Individual prints reference a range of topics — community histories, political actions, systemic violence, and cultural heritage — in a wide variety of styles. They make a crucial contribution to conversations about our collective past, present, and...

For an artist to return to painting after life‑altering injury is to witness the human spirit at its most unguarded. In such a moment, understanding the forces that carry you back to the page becomes all‑important, and in Joel Bradish Nichols’ case, the answers lie in the people and pursuits he had cherished. In a coma for months after a near‑fatal accident, his re‑emergence into artistic practice becomes inseparable from a narrative of devotion and determination — a surrounding spiritedness...

In Amy Casey’s meticulous acrylic paintings, houses and main street buildings whirl through the air amid debris, teeter in huge piles in the sea, or balance precariously on giant clusters of fungi. Our perception is tested: are the houses really tiny or are their surroundings exceedingly big? That slippage is at the heart of her practice, which confronts our current, often overwhelming information era and its politics, war, the climate crisis, population displacement, and more. “It is hard to process the world and the constant flow of information about it without feeling powerless and paralyzed,” the artist says. “Sometimes life just feels like a neverending shriek.” In her paintings, which are often...

THERE IS A PHENOMENON in the realm of industrial design known as alarm fatigue.

Over time, the repeated lights, beeps, and buzzes become background noise, like the check-engine […]

Bjarke Ingels Group unveils EVE Music Hall in croatia
 
Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and developer Marko Pepunić reveal new images of EVE Music Hall as construction advances toward completion in Čepin, eastern Croatia. Conceived as a major cultural destination for the Slavonia region, the 10,000-square-meter venue combines a live music hall, congress facilities, exhibition spaces, a café, rooftop event areas, and outdoor gathering grounds. Scheduled to open in early 2027, the project marks BIG’s first building in Croatia and is expected to become the first completed music performance venue by the studio.

Kisu reinterprets Kyoto’s architectural Aesthetics in Hangzhou
 
Designed by Uchida Shanghai / Mitsuhiro Shoji, Kisu is a tempura restaurant in Hangzhou that reinterprets the architectural vocabulary of traditional Kyoto architecture through a contemporary lens. The project integrates local materials and craftsmanship to form a restrained and atmospheric dining environment.
 
Rather than reproducing a stylistic version of ‘Japanese design,’ the project draws from the principles of Sukiya architecture, including restraint, asymmetry, material authenticity, and the calibrated use of light and shadow. These elements are reassembled within the context of Hangzhou, where tradition is expressed as a spatial...

The appointment comes less than a year after the debut edition of the biennial, which drew an estimated 1.8 million visitors and quickly became one of the most talked-about events on the international art calendar. Conceived and commissioned by Gayane Umerova and the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation (ACDF), the next edition will run from September 3 through November 21, 2027.

softness as a method of interdependence and reciprocity
 
Over the past months, designboom’s editorial chapter Radical Softness has explored architecture, art, design, and technology through the lens of care, attention, vulnerability, repair, and ecological sensitivity. Rather than framing softness as weakness, the chapter presented it as a cultural and political force. Across interviews, essays, and projects, a common question emerged: what kinds of futures become possible when we prioritize listening, reciprocity, and interdependence over speed and control?
 
Throughout this chapter, we returned repeatedly to the idea that softness begins with attention. Not passive observation, but a deliberate practice...

ocean space turns return into a living landscape
 
Inside Ocean Space in Venice, the former Church of San Lorenzo holds Tide of Returns with a sense of weight already built into its walls. The long nave, the worn stone, and the lagoon just beyond the city’s edges give the exhibition a charged setting for thinking about return across water, memory, and displaced cultural objects.
 
Presented by TBA21–Academy, the exhibition opens the 2026 season at Ocean Space and runs from March 28th to October 11th, 2026, alongside the 61st Venice Art Biennale. Based on the artistic research of the Repatriates Collective and curated by Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll, the project brings together artists, filmmakers, and...

Saif Azzuz, the Bay Area-based Yurok artist of Libyan descent whose genre-defying works distill ancestral wisdom and local traditions, seems to be everywhere. The resonance of his assemblages, sculpture, paintings, and installations might have something to do with their ability to reflect on contemporary urgencies — climate, capitalism — with a rare thoughtfulness. On the heels of Azzuz’s new outdoor commission at Storm King Art Center, reporter Max Blue profiles the artist who wants to point us to “the interconnectedness of all things.” In the news, the tumult continues at the Venice Biennale, where artists now say leadership failed to honor their request to withdraw from this year’s awards....

There are exhibitions that revisit history, and there are exhibitions that reactivate it. Ten.8 afterimage belongs firmly to the latter category. More than a survey of photographs or an exercise in nostalgia, the exhibition excavates the spirit of Ten.8, the groundbreaking photography journal published between 1979 and 1992, and asks what it means to look again at a publication that fundamentally changed the way photography was discussed in the UK. In returning to the pages, politics and personalities that shaped Ten.8, the exhibition reveals how urgently relevant its questions remain today: who gets represented, who controls the image, and what responsibilities does photography carry in times of social...

There Is A Truth: questo il titolo dell’ottava esposizione di Tracey Emin presso la Galleria Lorcan O’Neill di Roma (30 aprile -18 luglio 2026). Entrare nel piccolo spazio espositivo di Vicolo dei Catinari dà effettivamente l’impressione di essere accolti a contemplare una verità nascosta, il cui significato aleggia tra le tredici opere presenti, per la precisione dodici dipinti e opere su carta e una scultura monumentale in bronzo, realizzati dall’artista britannica durante gli ultimi due anni negli studi di Londra e Margate. La verità rivelata da Emin ha a che fare con il potere curativo dell’arte nelle nostre vite. Come lei stessa ha affermato, There Is A Truth è «una metafora perfetta della...

Approximately 44% of fine and studio arts Master’s degree programs in the United States could lose the ability to matriculate students who rely on federal loans to pay for their tuition, according to new guidelines proposed by the Trump administration. The Department of Education’s (ED) proposal, first published in April, would prohibit Master’s programs in the arts from enrolling students who use federal loans if the program’s recent alumni earned less than the median salary of a Bachelor’s degree holder between the ages of 25 and 34. Currently, the Department evaluates Master’s program eligibility based on the earnings of its alumni compared with those of high school diploma holders aged...

The exhibition draws from the collection of Carolyn Mazloomi, founder of the Women of Color Quilters Network, whose strategy over the better part of the last four decades has been to highlight the craft as an artistic expression beyond what the gallery describes as “folk curiosity.” Works simultaneously function “as fine art, historical archive, and cultural testimony,...

The idea for an A-Corp was first proposed by Yancey Strickler, the co-founder of Kickstarter, at a TED talk last year. According to...

Brass jaw harp MACKINAW CITY, MICHIGAN—USA Today reports that a brass jaw harp has been found in the central cellar at Colonial Michilimackinac, the site of an eighteenth-century fort and fur trading village in Mackinac State Historic Park. The instrument is the thirteenth to be found in the fort’s central cellar and the adjacent area. Jaw harps were brought to North America by European colonists as a common trade good. The central cellar is thought to have been used to store such items for trade. For more on the archaeology of colonial America, go to "Letter from Lake George: Exploring the Great Warpath."

The New Hampshire-based painter has long challenged American mythology and collective aggrandizing by reinterpreting canonical artworks and visual languages. His series have commented on the U.S.’s proclivity for erasing history and the ways our garments convey social status and class. In this new body of work, he directs us to the contradictory experience of witnessing destruction as both a spectacle and a distant occurrence. Slow Burn presents a suite of landscapes, each veiled by curtains. Floral drapery flanks a catastrophic explosion, a sliver of sunlight peeks through a decorative toile de jouy...

A theater, temples dedicated to Athena and Apollo, baths, a monumental fountain, and a colonnaded street have been unearthed since archaeological investigations began at the site in 1947. “Side is an important maritime city, but at the same time it is an agricultural city because of the alluvial soils brought by the Melas River,” said Feristah Alanyali of Anadolu University. The newly discovered street leads to one of the city’s two main gates. Nearby streets were also revealed,...

BARCELONA, SPAIN—Live Science reports that scientists from the Institute of Culture of Barcelona have examined 25 skeletons discovered in eight graves at Barcelona’s Royal Monastery of Santa Maria Pedralbes, which was founded in the fourteenth century by Queen Elisenda of Montcada. She moved into a small palace next to the monastery after the death of her husband, James II. When Elisenda died in 1364, her remains were dressed in a monastic habit and placed in a narrow wooden coffin with a gold-embroidered silk textile and aromatic herbs. Analysis of the bones suggests she was about 70 years old at the time of death. The study also investigated the tombs said to have belonged to the monastery’s first two...

When New Jersey-based artist and educator Ruth Borgenicht attended university, she studied mathematics. But as she shares in a statement: “Love of math was not enough to invent new ideas in this field—unfortunately for me, that also required genius.” As the saying goes, when a door closes, a window opens, and for Borgenicht, that opportunity came in the form of ceramics. Through precise forms and meticulous stoneware arrangements, the artist creates wall-hung and tabletop sculptures that are in some cases even kinetic, alternating between basket-like vessels and sturdy, elegantly nestled abstract forms. They often hang tapestry-like from a series of nails or unfurl into three-dimensional biomorphic...

The public opening is scheduled for Thursday, June 4, from 6 to 8 PM in the gallery’s ground floor space. The show will be on view through July 11. At the center of the exhibition is the metaphor of the vessel: the body as a container for spirit and belief. Drawing from archetypal associations between gold and divinity, Christian mysticism and contemporary existential anxiety, Bernhard’s monumental six-foot paintings depict fractured golden forms that...

Photography, at the threshold of its bicentenary, becomes here less a medium than a condition of perception itself. Remember Me at the Bourse de Commerce gathers image, archive, and gesture into a single unfolding field where memory is not stored but constantly reassembled. The exhibition operates through proximity rather than sequence, allowing works to collide, echo and refract one another in shifting constellations. Across centuries of practice, photography is treated not as a linear history but as a series of recurring questions about presence and disappearance. The result is an environment where looking becomes an act of reconstruction, and where the photograph is never fully settled into its own time....

Bloom (2020) is a series of large-scale images of flowers that have been reinterpreted by computer vision algorithms from original photographs taken during the spring lockdown. He’s also been doing a similar thing with landscapes of the American West, as well in Clouds, where skyscapes are overlaid with lines indicating what algorithms – such as those in guided missiles, drones and self-driving cars – “see”...

Il manifesto programmatico della 61esima Biennale d’Arte di Venezia, stilato dalla curatrice svizzero camerunense Koyo Kouoh, scomparsa lo scorso maggio, è una vera e propria dichiarazione poetica che emoziona, incuriosisce, riempie di speranze e aspettative. Parla di pratiche artistiche che aprono portali, rinnovano e nutrono in un “invito all’incanto”, a dare importanza al riposo fisico ma soprattutto spirituale; il presupposto è che “la poetica libera” e che gli artisti, individuati come “interpreti essenziali della condizione sociale e psichica, catalizzatori di nuove relazioni e possibilità” possano insieme generare bellezza.

Bacon Hole rock art photographed in 1913 (left) and 2024 (right) MUMBLES, WALES—According to a report in The Guardian, red horizontal bands on the walls of a cave in south Wales have now been identified as rock art dated to more than 17,000 years ago. The bands, which are equidistant from each other, were discovered near the Bristol Channel in Bacon Hole in 1912, and were considered to be examples of Paleolithic rock art, but a review in 1928 deemed the markings to be a natural phenomenon caused by a red oxide mineral seeping through the rock. George Nash of Coimbra University and the University of Liverpool and his colleagues used uranium-thorium dating to date the pigment. They also analyzed the chemical...

Sculpture in the UK finds one of its most concentrated and historically continuous centres in Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region, where institutional frameworks, collections and landscapes collectively sustain the medium as both practice and discourse. Rather than functioning as isolated venues, spaces such as Leeds Art Gallery, the Henry Moore Institute and Yorkshire Sculpture Park form an interconnected ecology in which sculpture is studied, exhibited and rethought across generations. This is not simply a matter of heritage, but of ongoing curatorial and artistic experimentation that positions material form as a living question rather than a fixed category.

L’intreccio non si lascia ridurre a tecnica nella ricerca di Yuhe Luo, ma si rivela come struttura del pensiero che precede il gesto e ne orienta la costruzione. Formata al Royal College of Art in Textile Design (Londra), l’artista sviluppa una pratica in cui il gesto del tessere supera la dimensione materiale per trasformarsi in una logica più profonda, capace di mettere in relazione ritmo, tempo e percezione. La tessitura, in questo senso, non appartiene a un singolo materiale ma è una modalità di organizzazione del tempo, una forma di articolazione del reale che si manifesta attraverso ripetizioni, variazioni minime, accumuli e discontinuità.

Guardando En Marche to the Future – quel Lenin avvolto nella bandiera arcobaleno che marcia mano nella mano con una figura simile a Greta Thunberg trasformata in influencer post-apocalittica del lusso globale – la prima reazione è ridere. La seconda è il disagio. La terza, se si rimane abbastanza a lungo davanti all’opera, è la consapevolezza che quella risata nasconde qualcosa di molto più instabile: il sospetto che il mondo rappresentato dalla scultura non sia una fantasia satirica, ma un ritratto anticipato del presente stesso. Ed è qui che il lavoro smette di...
